This quick update aims to address some, but certainly not all, of the smaller concerns that we've been seeing.
- the title field when submitting a post is now a textarea
- textareas now auto-expand in height as necessary
- Twitter embeds will now respect your theme (dark mode users will see a dark embed)
- removed captchas for new users (previously, very new users would have to complete a reCAPTCHA before submitting posts and comments)
- added an error message if saving an edit fails, rather than loading forever
- fixed an issue where "continue reading thread?" would sometimes appear when there are no further comments
- reduced requirements for long term users with regards to the "recently joined" handshake flag.
- original revision in edit history will show as having 1 score rather than its score immediately prior to being edited
- added new rate limits for login attempts
- added robots.txt
Additionally, we've reset all save folders that had been renamed to "" (nothing) so that they are accessible again.
Great work, as always!
A special thank you for this bit as well! Cheers!
Sure! It's just a file that is looked at by the computers at Google, and other search engines and web scrapers, to see what should and/or shouldn't be indexed. Good citizens of the internet observe what is in this file, while others don't. Most websites have a robots.txt. It's a good to have, not need to have.
It looks like thedonald.win's new robots.txt looks like this:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /api/
Disallow: /*sort=
Disallow: /*from=
The first line says anyone (or any 'User-Agent') and crawl and scrape the entire site (*), but the next three lines list folders that explicitly should not be indexed.
Cheers!
What is a robots.txt file?
