you might want to check out the js code to find it.
have fun!
Far too easy to find.

version 1.0 of the event log is now up in QA

I accidentally signed into the wrong google account when trying to log into my knockout account and it's not letting me back out of the signup process to log into my knockout related google account, I can get around it through browser trickery but it's a bit frustrating when it happens.
Also I accidentally rated myself and can't undo it when I was habitually looking to see who rated me, which I realized you can't.
a few things coming soon:

a more descriptive log in page (the button actually signs you up! that wasn't communicated very clearly before. also added a link for the privacy policy)

a little submenu for thread actions (instead of that mess of buttons)
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/f1e5cfc8-0a10-4bfc-9f13-cba0bdd1cd25/image.png
icons for those submenus (this one is a dumpster fire, thanks PortalModIV for the idea)

mods can see who rated whom what (and ban them accordingly for not rating their meme funny, or demod them in this specific case)

this thing which im sure nobody cares about
and also the first steps towards searching posts and non-google logins. but those are still in flight. stay tuned
Lite users will be briefly nagged when they first visit the site to choose some preferences.

Also we got avatars pulling through (if you turn it on)

And a couple of easter eggs were added.

Theres a bit of work going on to allow lite to move beyond being a read-only viewer but no promises there.
Initially you're only going to be able to rate people until I write bidirectional bbcode/json parser so I don't have to add any javascript.
I'm really really glad you guys are putting work into this lite version.
The full site is being firewalled at work so I can't access it. Praise the lord.
Thanks.
Is there some sort of coin/level system?
I nearly hit level 30 and I am anticipating level up soon
something that has been bothering me for a while are the thread icons. i'd love to hear suggestions on what to do about them.
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/2f968ec7-9dd6-4fbc-bc1f-45bf4f8ef6b9/image.png
this is our current selection. what can we add? we're currently using this pack: Popular Icon Pack (PNG, vector)
the selection feels generic and limited.
the newpunch thread icons:
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/1da444dc-3075-4ddb-853b-1a2cff85d699/image.png
i'd really like to hear suggestions. if you have new icon suggestions, please post them here (instead of just a link)
Personally I prefer the Newpunch icons, I'd use those if possible.
Came here just to say that Knockout is looking pretty good, better than last time I checked. Slowly getting tempted to move there.
I hope we actually just get forced to move there in the near future, that would make it easier. I'm not gonna be two places at once.
newpunch icons are paid, so that makes things harder. and i also like the idea of developing knockout's identity separately. if you find another, better free icon pack please do post
hold a "design thread icons" contest and we can design and vote
i would love to see submitted thread icons, but we don't really have that many active users and that's probably not changing until garry shuts fp down
tbh I really like the mspaint icons. they've got so much charm and character
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/c1baec3e-994f-41f4-bef6-b7e533220de0/image.png
we now have the events link on the header...
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/b4b06331-8866-435e-884b-43b04313236c/image.png
and a thread move event!
I am posting this of my own free will and am not being forced at gunpoint.
What would this hypothetical gun and hostage look like if you had to use your imagination?
Hypothetically a Colt Python with a wooden grip finish pointed at a metaphorical victim with a bagged head and fuck fuck they hear my keystrokes
We're pushing a new update to production!
Here's the tickets we completed for this update:
Style the "view ratings" button
Make deleted threads look a bit different from locked threads
Adding icons to subforum and thread submenus
Show usernames of people who rated a post for mods
Event Log 1.0
Make paste detection smarter (youtube, twitter, images?)
Allow mods to edit posts
Add hours cheatsheet for mods
Make ban times smarter instead of just hours
Make reports link to the post
Add tooltips to all relevant buttons/links
Notifications 1.0
Add thread moving for mods
Popular Threads 1.0
Changes to rating icons
I really hope people start moving over and all this work you're doing isn't put to waste.
so do i my dude
Postals ass needs to be an icon.
I'm still waiting for more auth methods to be added as an option for account creation (especially Steam auth).
Login via email would also be good.
Knockout will only have external authenticators, pretty sure Inacio doesn't want to deal with the problems of storing passwords.
Login via email doesn't necessarily need a password. Though I'm not sure what disadvantages there would be in email authentication without one.
Login via email doesn't need passwords, just need to send a verification email to the email provided and users can login that way. No passwords stored.
It's probably the simplest way of supporting 2FA.
Oh alright. Yeah that might make sense.
The website looks so damn snazzy at the moment. I already like the aesthetic -when customised to my liking - more than the standard facepunch.
I´ve started porting over my larger project-threads over to knockout if that helps :v
