     Got it. I'll add in unliking this weekend. I know how frustrating not being able to reverse it.. Hint hint TPT

     Passwords or just the username? Passwords should be case sensitive since they're hashed and salted. Usernames might be kept not case sensitive for ease of use.

     Ok i think there must be some changes like

    1)Allow users to see the subscribers.

    2)Prevent self likes

    3)Make a group system.

    4)Allow users to see the votes on save thumbnails

    5)Direct to user profiles when clicked on usernames

    6)Add user Avatars from powdertoy.

    7)Add a dislike button.

    8)Allow users to see who liked the post (maybe Don't add the ability to see who disliked to prevent haters)

    (Correct me if i miss something)

     I have plans for a lot of those things. There's various reasons why some separation of TPTAPI.com and powdertoy.co.uk is present.

     

    Avatars from powdertoy.co.uk and vote counts from saves will not be added. I tried hotlinking and a caching method, but that puts too much load on both ends. I will add a separate avatar system where you can upload an avatar.

     

    Self likes won't be removed. They don't do any harm and may be useful in some ways to allow for users to do a low level promotion when I make a proper trending or ranking algo sorted page. 

     

    Dislikes will never be added. We've had so many problems on this community and they don't make logical sense. They don't play a role in a more active stream type of setup other than blindly lazy criticism. 

     

    Like I've noted, the rest of the features are coming soon. It's in development when I have freetime.

     I remember when users would just spam the - sign here. That was six years ago! So I see your point.

    I've added unliking of previously liked posts. This weekend has mostly been organizing scripts and code for the next update in a couple weeks. The next update should add avatars, liking of replies, and profiles.

    I've implemented user profile timelines. You may now click on someone's username on a post and view all their posts. I'm working on standardizing the links on replies and single-post viewing.

     

    Some things I will implement quite shortly:

     

    1) Avatars

    2) Basic biography description

    3) Subscribe button on profiles

    4) Replying to replies

    5) Liking replies

     

    Profile URLs may change to be something simplier (ie. TPTAPI.com/u/Everyone). For now it's something like this: https://TPTAPI.com/User.php?User=Everyone

     

    EDIT: Just added a subscriber and subscribed count to the profiles. Also a subscribe button to profiles has been added. I'll improve the styling soon

     

    EDIT #2: Gravatar/avatar support has been added. Also hashtags and trending ranking will be coming soon
