  Re: List of suggestions
 
(...) That's got plenty of wiggle... (...) I'm not sure I agree though, what's the value in posting a "we rejected this for technical reasons" with no more detail at all post at the tail end of the string if it shows rejected on the list, and if the (...)

  Re: Hmm, another suggestion
 
(...) I would recommend setting it up so only logged on users will be able to even see a button for canceling (only their) posts - otherwise you'd end up floodding people with "cancel requests" :/ I did look once to see how we can associate a member (...)

  Re: Some suggestions
 
(...) From a strictly paranoid point of view, that would be a bad idea. Right now, if I just randomly try auth strings until I hit one that's pending, all I get is the ability to approve/deny what the original author wrote (since the chance of me (...)

  Hmm, another suggestion
 
I know in the past, we have asked for user cancel of web posted posts. I have noted that an NNTP cancel must be authenticated just like a regular post. It seems like it would be possible to have a cancel button in the web view that would generate an (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Some suggestions
 
I know I've made these in the past, but I don't have time to dig up the original threads, so I'll just repost the suggestions for reference in the new list: Have a way for a member to view a list of all un-authenticated posts. This list could (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: List of suggestions

  Re: List of suggestions

  Re: List of suggestions
 
(...) OK. (...) Done, I think. Take a boo at the key now and LMK what you think. (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Request to move .mecha
 
(...) NOOOO! It will then show up whenever you browse Space. For people who don't care about Mecha but do care about Space, it makes the Web interface less useful. It's bad enough that many of the .mecha posters crosspost everything to .space as it (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: HTML conversion for email subscribers.
 
(...) How about if the FTX-to-HTML filter is run at the time of posting, rather than at the time of rendering, and it could be stored on the NNTP server as a multipart/alternative with 3 parts: FTX, HTML, and a plain-text version (generated from the (...)
