link to 4-ch? (11)

I think the individual boards could need a link to the main page of 4-ch, favorably positioned at the bottom of the pages.

The biggest issue is that if a lot more boards go in, trying to link to a tonne of boards on every page and maintaining those links and making sure they work isnt easy. I went with frames (as much as I hate them) because it means links can show up/remove with a lot more ease.

But if you have any ideas to get rid of the frames, let me know. I was thinking, since I am a big firefox user, like somethingawful and 4chan have done, make a toolbar or a bookmark set for the top so the boards are just a menu on your browser. But thats just me dreaming.

Thanks for the idea anyway.

I think the frames work well. If (hopefully) this place gets mad popular like 2ch, a ton of boards will be needed, so a list along the side is the best way to go. A toolbar would be cool too, but I think right now an FAQ is needed most so new users will understand the details of posting.

Even adding a link directly to http://wakaba.c3.cx/docs/docs.html#UsersGuide would help, I think.

I think the ID system needs to be explained a little though, and maybe the policy of logging IP addresses as well.

That's not what I meant at all. I mean: A link JUST AND ONLY to http://www.4-ch.net on the bottom of each page so I don't have to manually type in the adress in the browser in case I navigate the boards without the frame (which doesn't link to the main page either, btw).

Your ID: is generated from your IP. However even though I keep my IP for weeks at a time, my ID still changed. I think its just so that "Anonymous" isnt so anonymous, or at least we get the idea that multiple anonymous people are not just the same person spamming a thread.

As for IP logging etc, I dont have any policies in place. Though I will have a read around etc and try to at least make some sort rough outline. The only way for me to get your IP address is to sift through the apache logs to find it as Kareha provides no logging.

I'll work on it. The URL for the front that isnt the rotating image is http://4-ch.net/4ch.html .

Also, when I am navigating from WAKAchan, it would make sense to reach this with a click somewhere somehow.

Actually, kareha does log the IPs of the posters, and puts them in log.txt, encoded. You have to use the dumplog.pl program to see them. It's not very useful at the moment though, it's mainly there for future use.

This was here and now it's not anymore, I mean links to 4-ch, Kareha homepage, etc.

Well, I was making a point: Footers with links were there, now they are not. Please reintroduce them.

The left frame and every page should include a link to http://4-ch.net so that you can return to the front page if your browser has become confused or some frame has been deleted.
