>>575(OP) Note that was not me, i have increased the limit on number of sign ups.

Note again, sign up doesn't save anything which can identify any anon irl. Consider sign up as one time captcha that's it.

On the other note, i am working on a way to ensure anons can post without login but it is under test and can't tell how long it will take to implement.

Since you guys keep going on about muh glowie, etc. etc. I am taking time to provide you the snapshot of all the user related data which is storad at BharatChan.

These are the only records which are relevant to posters.

I can't provide exact column names due to safety issues, but pic related should give you enough information and idea. Hope that helps.

Updates Regarding Ads

Good Morning saars, one quick update regarding ads. I have enabled updates on this website to make it self-sustaining but it is currently on trial basis where i am experimenting with locations and number of ads.

I understand that most of you hate ads so feel free to use ublock whatever.

If you are facing issues and really don't like the ads and wanted to add something use the suggestions thread >>577

Take care, goodbye!

>>1996

Optimized ad placement and size, also reduced the number of ads which can be showed per page.

Pic related for reference.

update regarding indiachan.in domain

Before even starting this imageboard, i bought two domains one was bharatchan.com and other was indiachan.in

Eventually decided to bharatchan.com for a fresh start and since then indiachan.in was away dormant.

At first i thought i would just list out some india related communities there so that meant .net inch domain as well as this one but based on new information regarding .net domain, i will not be listing them.

Currently it's just placeholder fun random stuff there on the website but later i may implement some sort of chat room or few more things i have in plans.

If you guys have suggestions or something feel free to email to me about them using the email

>[email protected]

Also, i am intentionally not redirecting from indiachan.in to here since i find it a bit cheap, also i feel that indiachan.in can have its own thing going. For now just bear with this placeholder page for it.

Bye!

IRC server for BharatChan is live

Good Morning sirs! IRC server is live, you can access it at irc.bharatchan.com

Over next few days, will add support for

>custom emojis in the chat

>ability to get members list command

>active members command

>different channels dedicated to each board

That be all. Sayonara!

Emoji support in Bharat Chat (irc)

Discord sisters, now you can use emojis in the chat. To get emoji codes refer to the https://bharatchan.com/emoji page.

Good Day! Back to wagie cagie.

Reduced post creation cooldown

Two important things to note,

>captcha is now case insensitive

>cooldown for captcha request has been reduced to 5seconds

>similarly cooldown for new post / reply creation has been reduced to 5 seconds.

Purge your browser cache to ensure you are having updated static files. Rest of the fix of the reported bugs coming soon.

New update - Bugfixes

Most of the bugfixes addressed by anons have been resolved, few in particular are

>post actoins button floating over Form

>not including timestamps in case of youtube urls

>captcha getting cropped in dark mode

Other than there are few style updates related to emoji.

>board reference using >>>/board_name/ not working

I have already started work on,

>add spoilers for images

>ability to have static form to ensure anons can post even with js disabled

>better buttons/icons for page down/ go to top button etc.

>archives section

>improving UI during post view, ensuring familiarity with the other chans

>reverse image search

Some additional moderation tools and maybe recruitment of few mods. Expect next update in a few days. At the same time irc.bharatchan.com is being constantly updated, soon you will have emoji section and different channels dedicated to different boards.

Currently due to spam and brigading only indians can send messages in the chat.

Note: I have purged cache which means website will be slow for few hours, ideally should have pushed updates later but since i am working on something this was the ideal time.

Take care everyone

clear your browser cache, i hate handling static files (css/js). They require that bs.

Good Morning sirs!

Stats section has been added in the homepage, clear your cache to ensure you have updated stylesheets.

Now moving on to spoilers implementations etc.

Once again cache has been purged so you may experience slowness etc. so kindly bear with it. If there's any error then share it in the suggestions thread.

Good Day, sayo!
