This site was built with an old version of a framework called Laravel. I haven't coded in the framework in a few years and wanted to get back into it. So over the next couple months or so I plan to rewrite Ohio Chatter to relearn the framework.
Any new code I push automatically gets deployed and can be seen at the following address:
I'm mostly working out layout stuff right now, the only thing you can really do is login/logout and view threads.
Please let me know how much you hate it. Thanks.
I'll eventually move it to something like dev.ohiochatter.com or something but I'm lazy at the moment.
YUGE FONTS. The geriatrics will be happy. Much appreciated!
I'll also say I haven't looked at it at all on a phone. So it may look horrible right now.

It does indeed look bad on a phone right now. I'll work on that next.

Looks same to me. I’m not sure I’ve logged in on here since 2009

The layout is messed up on the thread view, it has the user info and post next to each other instead of stacked.
There are some spacing issues on the thread list view as well.
You've definitely logged in on here since 2017 when this version launched. You might not have had to login in a long time if you always use the same browsers on the same devices.

At the earliest.
Here come da scripts!
Things fit a lot better on mobile when I don't show post count, rep score, and join date because honestly who cares. This is a lot cleaner.

No clue of my password. I only use my phone on here.

Post count has been frozen for 5 or so years I feel

Make Ohiochatter Great Again (MOGA)
Sorry, something came up.
At this rate I'll finish in 2026. But I've been working on something.
Totally forgot about NWindiannation…..and all the good times…not.
Hey, I won’t complain about more posters!

I almost died in the JJHuddle wars of 2009.
When they banned my account, I VPN spammed and valiantly posted dozens of random dick pics from troll accounts
I'm glad the Huddle died and I'll see JJ in hell.
I think I got banned about 5 times in one night before they finally got wise and IP banned me.posted by Trueblue23

So we've all been here for almost 15 years? 😲

Crazy
Ok, finally been making some progress on this.
https://dev.ohiochatter.com/threads
I plan on flipping the switch at some point in the next two weeks.
Things I've recently added that were preventing a launch:
Polls
Private Messages
Search (in the footer now)
Editing posts (you can now edit the OP)
Kick the tires and let me know if something breaks. I don't think there should be anything that would prevent this from being the new site going forward. There are a few nice to have things I want to add, and the Archive (link in footer) is definitely a work in progress, but after fixing a few speed issues today I'm pretty happy with where it is.
