Hi there,
I would like to recommend that the link: "Paste your b3.log here" be changed from pastie to pastebin

There are several reasons:

1) Pastie cuts off the lines/log at 100K, pastebin does not.
2) Pastie has those silly "use this .js url to imbed the paste" that causes confusion.
3) Pastebin is awesome?

Thanks for considering it.

I was thinking about the same yesterday, but I had to go afk for a while and forgot;)

However I had additional idea, which might be possible - maybe there is possibility to start something like pastebin but only for this forum. Often people posts logs with passwords and do not even mark the "private" checkbox on pastie/pastebin. On this forum it would be easier to react by moderators and remove such paste or edit it quickly.

To be 100% honest I was thinking of the same thing. I was going to make it a bit simpler and provide a anonymous FTP server, but if someone codes it, I think a paste area would be better.

agreed pastin > pastie

I don't think having one more tool to maintain is a good idea. Let pastbin do what they are good at and let us dev on B3

Agree. However while doing changes, maybe you could modify the line "Paste your b3.log here and copy the URL to it inside the post." to something that includes "REMOVE YOUR PASSWORDS" ?

I try to report to moderators posts which contains logs with password, but that could be too late.


P.S. Password to the database is hidden in b3.log, why not hide also username and FTP password/username ?
