Finalizing Some Features in Preparation for the Next Update

Mood: Hungry
Tags: Development
Site Version: 3.11
It's been a while since the site was updated, but there's a new module being planned (the game list) and thus it seemed prudent to go live with the features I've been working on recently. These changes are mostly options to make your Four Light Network experience more pleasant. I've also included notes on bug fixes I made on the live site, in some cases several months ago, as a reference.

Pre-Existing Bug Fixes
• Fixed the command key feature so that Ctrl-S creates [blackout] tags instead of [spoiler] tags in the chat.
• If you do use [spoiler] tags where they are not allowed (i.e., in single-line inputs), they will be interpreted as [blackout] tags.
• Fixed a bug where new reward points would be counted twice for some rewards in the "new rewards" message on the splash page.
• Fixed a bug where the "front page" tag for blog entries would nor work unless there were no other tags.
• Changed the music player on iloling.
• Reduced the base and scaling point values for the number of responses made indirectly to your posted content.
• Reduced the base and scaling point values for ratings made by you.
• Added the ability to put ads on the sidebar.
• The level calculation function has been changed so you achieve a new level at exactly that level x 1000 points, instead of when you surpass that amount.

Version 3.11 Changes
• When replying to content with an especially long title, the title will be shortened when the "Re: " is added to ensure that it is still a valid length.
• Superusers in administrator mode can now correctly move threads between public forums.
• Forum and site names are now shown on rewards when selecting them on the user preferences page.
• Added a "signature height cap" option for site administrators. This setting, in pixels, will determine the maximum signature size that will be displayed.
• Altered the user profile edit page to account for the signature height cap, including a preview of your signature so you can make sure it is working correctly.
• Fixed a bug where line breaks were doubled inside [code] tags.
• Added a user option to hide images posted by other users. You may hide them entirely, or replace them with a link that will show the image if clicked.
• Added options to tweak how sidebar comment notifications work on the non-forum modules, such as reviews and blogs. You may turn off comment notifications entirely, or view all comments including those made to other users' content.
• Added a forum rights reset for forum moderators and site admins. This can change many users' forum rights at once, and is useful when changing the default access rights for a forum.
