Quick find code: 261-262-33-65181208
Looking into housekeeping on the first page... you can save at least 876 characters by removing the codes below <3 and above bump in post 6. That is, whenever you remove most of them and replace them with the ones being kept. I don't think I've seen anyone request a code before though.

Also your to-do list from post 9:
- Add Cancel button to edit post — Reskin might get it. Otherwise, yes.
- Add titles to avatar (top page) — Reskin and new script are fine w/o.
- Bookmarks — Scrapped? Don't mind it. Based on quote at bottom.
- Custom skins for forums (hold) — Feature creep. We know we can though.
- Fix Cancel return location — Where are cancel options on the forums?
- Gradient backgrounds (hold) — RGBA (Reskin) > Gradient (Current)
- Ignore list (not in the future) — I can see why. Conflicts.
- Inline post editing — That's a lot of bug testing. WYSIWYG > RTE.
- Input alt codes quickly (working) — Don't know about this.
- Right click add to clan/friends list — Feature creep.
Ones you were unsure about:
- Import and update friends list — Feature creep.
- Monitor thread status (page position, number of posts, etc)
- Monitor the current forum section and update without needing to refresh page
AJAX isn't nice when the window is small unless you're playing off Wikia or Wikipedia which can handle all the requests. So I don't see the other two you were unsure about happening. Your statement of no automated requests is best kept.
There is http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/AjaxRC if you really want to build off of something for a page refresh though. Stripping the Wikia hacks and styles shouldn't be too hard if you ever decide to go this route.

I can't wait to hack into page #1 and cull it down.
I wont comment on everything, just things that may need clarifying. So the lack of comments means agreed
There is or was a cancel button on the thread creation page.
The return buttons are just return to forum. What needs fixing is if you are on page 2 or higher of a sub forum and view a thread, the button takes you to page one of the sub section rather than the last page your were on. Easy to fix just haven't got around to it.
I never wanted this. I believe any issues or problems that pertain to this topic require more than software solution.
However the new options for post backgrounds will allow you to enter you're own css rules. A list of names can be dedicated to custom css rules, {display:none} for example. Even though that wasn't intended for ignore, the extra freedom I'm giving allows for some potential creative use.
Already done it and have it working in the new options.
As you know, I'm keeping away from this.
I'd like to do something, but I'm not even looking at that. Got more than enough to do in the meantime. Big problem is everyone wants something different. If it's not one size fits all, then it's nothing.
The clan forums have all the building blocks for this stuff, since they use javascript to parse the post text and sort bb tags etc. You can get BBtags to HTML via post or from function call, but the tags are different so they don't work on these forums.
But anyway I'm not about to do it

It's a nice approach and tbh it's not an angle that I would have though to look at it from.
After you mentioned it, I was thinking sure it doesn't fix all gifs, but doing it for all imgur gifs would still be great. Since the HTML formats are better in so many ways.
My only concern is not all gifs are animated, so HTML5 fallback is most likely non existent. I haven't tested as yet, but I will. If it doesn't break static gifs I may end up doing this

That's really nice of you make a test image, thank you for that
Sadly that's what I expected.
Oh the browser doesn't exactly tell you how it is, it tells you either how it sees something or it tells you what it's done and how it interprets the page. Basically all common modern browsers lie.
View page source is a perfect example, that view isn't page source, it's the browsers interpretation of what the served HTML means. This can be seen here on RSOF. When a jmod's signature is quoted, that's the raw HTML. If you look at the page source you'll sometimes see differences in that code (most notably, errors corrected by the browser).
And here's what I predicted with the image, imgur are picking up on the incorrect file extension and rather than redirect, they serve the correct image. They are a fine bunch over there, going to so much trouble for us

It works in the browser because it's not being told to wrap the source in a video element. Where as RS Linkify only see's gifv and wraps it with video tags.
