Give me the code that runs this forum, and I'll write an anti-necro feature.
I'm serious. I'll fix the image width bug while I'm at it.
I understand that you guys would rather spend time working on the game, which is a good thing, but there are a couple of annoying problems with the forum that really impede any useful discussion. Wading through 30 5-year-old threads that nahin accidentally bumped to the front page is not productive for we the playerbase, and I imagine it's an annoyance for the devs as well.

please don't fix the image width bug it is way too much fun
Why?
Things change...
Badthings can become good. Don't you ever reconsider?

Indeed we do, Eris Gagarin — we are, for example, reconsidering your posting privileges at this very moment.
lecter, quit being an ass.
Eris: if a thread has died out, but you liked the idea behind it, it is usually better to make a new/improved suggestion and link against the old one.
Ladron, I'd be damned surprised if this happened.

Ahem, Ardenus, I didn't "accidentally bump" it. I meant to. And it needed a bump. Also, there was only one. It was a 6-month old thread. Seriously...
This isn't a one-time thing, bud. You, Alloh, PoL, et al do it multiple times a day.
Name one thread other than the Undo Sell All thread that I have bumped in the last five days.

Why would you write a script to fix the image width bug? That's like building a nuclear powered lawnmower: overkill.
But like a nuclear powered lawnmower, it would also be fucking sweet.
If overly-complicated-solutions-to-simple-problems is your thing, then yeah, sure.
Edit: Oh, right, you're the one gutting a Jaguar in the attempt to procure yourself a reliable automobile. Forget I said anything.

Muwahahaha.
I mean, I could just buy a 2010 XKR. But where's the fun in that?

It's not a matter of writing a script, it's a matter of doing a simple scaling on images. It's two arguments in one html tag.
Shouldn't this just be two if-statements within the markup-to-html translator with a negligible amount of code involved?
Ladron, just assume you know the variable names involved (the only one that would matter I think would be textToBePosted) and post the code to this thread. I'd do it, but I'm lazy.
Though the question remains as to what language the translator is written in (unless I just don't know web-programming well enough to find the answer obvious, which I assuredly do not).

Why don't you write a way more usefull feature, an ANTI-TROLL routine?
Such thing would reduce 75% of volume of posts!
Pick any topic on forum, at least 1/2 of its replies are trolling and trolling replies, completely unrelated. That is much more counter-productive than any necromancy ever done.

But then the forum is less fun, alloh.

Well, not in the markup-to-html translator specifically, but yeah probably.
Ladron, just assume you know the variable names involved ...
Because that is incredibly implementation-dependent. I don't know what kind of database they're using, or even what server-side processes happen when someone tries to post a response to a thread. Giving Inc two lines of pseudocode is not useful - he already knows vaguely what needs to happen. Giving him something that actually works is.

well, I learned something new. guess I'll leave the web-stuff to you then :).
