Woopig.org -- Fixes and updates!

Thanks. I don't mind sending you my login creds if you want to login and see what I'm seeing.

Much appreciated, though you may be unaware admins can log in as anyone.  But it wouldn't help, because I think the problem is with your browser's session cookie from Wednesday. 

Try visiting that topic again, and look in the address bar.  If it starts with www.woopig.org/..., take out the www. and press Enter.  The correct address should be https://woopig.org/index.php?topic=994.0.

I'll remember that the next time I write a shitty post a mod takes over my account and writes a shitty post.

I've been looking back over the last couple weeks thinking about how long I've been an admin and what is it I actually do here. I truly don't know I think it was probably 2009 or shortly after Steve had to move it to .net because of the failed takeover by FatPat. Back then the board had a front page that had to be uploaded with new material. Every Sunday morning I'd wake up real early and post whatever news clips there were from the Saturday before. *This was before we had a guy like Trent making a colorful post on the mainboard on Sunday morning. That was kind of a role I took on because it didn't look like anyone was really doing it. The front page kind of helped steer a bit of traffic to the board and it got people talking about whatever the topic was...mostly pissing on Wally. Unknowingly I think I stepped on Shoat's toes because that front end I believe was his brain child. Muzzy and I would chat back and forth and he'd sometimes tell me "just don't fuck anything up". Ok scouts honor. Upon the entry of our big group of admins it was basically over for guys like Shoat, Jim, and a few others. Some went to Rex's board.

I recall one of Steve's biggest issues when he brought on a lot of new admins he didn't want us hanging out in the admin forum. He didn't want the board to continue as a absolute skull fuck on every single fucking thread. Although on the same token there were times where it was just too irresistible and thus we had a good pile on like fatpunter, Joetheismansankle, or Zeke. Anyway not to beat a dead horse...but I was fucking there. I know what got said and I know what his wishes were at the time. I think I'm the only one here that was there in the admin forum I mean. The rules were fairly simple. No racism. Wear Your Cup. Don't win arguments using your admin shit. The reason for that last one is because that shit was fucking happening on the reg back in the skull fuck days. That was probably Steve's biggest pet peeve. As admins we knew where to pick our battles and when to apply the necessary moderation. I guess the deal with MDEM being "power hungry" or whatever idk...his cheese started to slide around that time. Needless to say any of the hallmark woopig (this isn't woopig) stuff that's being brought up is straight up Steve motherfuckin Jackson's rules and that guy and Muzzy pretty much taught me how to be an admin. I've gained a lot of respect for him and lost of a lot of respect over the years but that's just how the cookie crumbles.

I most especially wanted to remind everyone that this board is the brain child of Elvis but it's most certainly not his board anymore so the new owner can do with it how he pleases and from what I can tell he wants to continue to manage it the way Elvis did it. I believe there are 3 of us now unless you count the server guy that never posts. Now days we are all older, wiser, gentle souls and about a 1/4 of the traffic and probably less. But we have a good core group and thanks to OneQuarter this place is running like greased owl shit. Better than it's ever performed or looked. We like to use terms like autopilot but the truth is this puzzle of a board needed a lot of modernization under the hood and was no small feat. We all own him a drank. <insert missing beer icon here>

Interesting history. I never really cared to open the hood but I do like that it hums when I turn the key and log on.

Ok I figured it out. Something with my cookies. Anyway, appreciate it once again.

This one's a bit hard to explain, but the result will be pretty clear.  I upgraded the database encoding from legacy 3-byte `utf8mb3` to full 4-byte `utf8mb4` to support modern iOS and Android emojis natively.

Trying to use part of a quote is a major pain in the ass on an Ipad at least.  
I like quoting someone and then taking out the parts of the quote that really don't pertain to my response.  Especially in a longer quote.
It is really hard to do that with the current format.

Ah, I see. "Quote Selected Text" doesn't appear on iPhone/iPad when you select a portion of a post's text to quote, but it does appear on desktop.  Good catch!

Thanks for the reply.  I didn't know that it worked this way.  Cool feature.
