New Features

In chat, when people say something, you'll hear a notification sound every time. If the sound gets annoying or it's too loud, let me know and I'll do something about that.

Another feature that I'm sure is really useful (sarcasm) is the QR code at the top of the page will play a string of DTMF tones if the current URL contains numbers (like category / topic / post ID's, etc). Practical, I know. Just wanted to do that for... ah, who knows why.

Oh, something else: There's a timeout if you stay logged in for a long time past which the chat box will stop refreshing and pop up an alert that it's done so. Refreshing the page will reset the timeout. I had it set to 5 minutes at first but it's been extended to an hour.

This is just to prevent excessive AJAX calls if you happen to leave your browser open and stay logged in all day or overnight.

The chat notification sound is useful. That's nice to be able to hear if anyone's in chat if I'm using another tab at the time.

I had developed a better function for replacing things like emoticon symbols and some formatting in content but this more robust function was slowing down page render times by an unacceptable amount.

As it stands, sometimes highlighting in search results and emoticon codes appearing in URLs, etc. may break stuff. It shouldn't happen very often and I'll try to find better workarounds than functions that require too much CPU.

It would be nice to hear the chat notifier sound but I haven't caught anyone online in a while.

That's convenient. There's been a few times where I missed chat not because I wasn't on but because I was doing something in another tab.
