The board modernization continues apace. This time, I've switched from mostly backend updates to mostly feature updates.

Image uploads and Klipy integration

[user posted image]

I have added limited image uploads, along with an Image Map which stores images you've uploaded in the past for reuse. When posting images, you can size them down (but hopefully not up) using a size parameter, which accepts small, medium/mid, and large as arguments.

This is not supposed to be an image board and I vaguely remember strong feelings from users about this in the past, so to begin with, users are restricted to 10 image uploads/100 MB per day, which I may reduce or supplementarily restrict if people are uncomfortable with how many images are being posted.

Speaking of posting images, you can now access the Klipy GIF repository (the same one used on Discord now that Tenor is gone) to use in posts. I am using a testing API key, which is heavily restricted (100 searches/hour sitewide), but that should be fine because I don't expect the 3-4 of you using this website to spam reaction GIFs. GIFs posted through Klipy <gif> tags can be sized down the same way as uploaded images. Unlike uploaded images, your used GIFs are not stored anywhere at the moment, but I might look into changing that.

You can still post external images. YouTube embeds will now properly resolve to the player and thumbnail.

Topics and message features

* Topics can have labels now, which are links to a quasi-message-board listing of all the topics with the same label. Topic creators (and mods) are in control of a topic's labels, but other users can suggest labels. A topic may have up to 5 labels.

* You can emoji react to messages. The Discordification of this website continues apace. Note that each user is capped at 6 emojis per message and the selection is quite limited at the moment. The old "suggest post" functionality remains as well and emojis don't award any shrines, so they don't overlap. You guys remember shrines?

* Message quoting has been fleshed out. I reused the game log code from yesterday's games update to create inset mini-messages representing quoted text. If your message is ever quoted, it will also have a link to a page listing the messages that quoted it, sort of like a "subtopic" (but you can't post from the subtopic at the moment).

Misc

* Almost everyone can edit their own posts now, if they're quick about it. Previously this functionality was limited to mods, but now anyone has a 2-minute window to initiate an edit on their own post. Almost everyone here is a mod so this is more future proofing (in case Tengu ever comes back).

* Card game logs and chats are now now recorded on a dedicated message board after the table closes. The new Game Chats board will automatically create these topics, which is the only way to post new topics on that board. People can post on those chat logs afterwards, but if the game didn't allow watchers, the entire topic is siloed to only the users who were at that table. Although I don't expect to see a lot of logs in there (it's probably going to be empty for some time), this functionality is a surprise tool that will help us later.

* The buttons are different. I slightly modernized the board's form buttons so they look like they're from 2007 rather than 1997.

There are also various bug fixes in the background.

This almost feels like weโ€™re a real website again.
