What's New (1.3.12): Finally, some new features. Members may disable viewing of e-mail an smilies, admins may edit member profiles (not just flags), age statement enforcement, new resize buttons on the applets, and a log file. Some litte bugs have been fixed, too, including some JavaScript issues, the pop-up window code, anti-spam measures, and the picture count bug. This version requires you to run the updater.

SocketPermission errors: If you're having trouble with SocketPermission erorrs when submitting pictures with the applets, try using Internet Explorer or Opera. The Firefox version of the Java plugin (versions 1.5.0_r14 through 1.6.0_r04) have been confirmed to have a network connection bug. Sun says newer versions of Java have been fixed.

Wacintaki Poteto is a CSS conversion of Oekaki Poteto 5.x. It is a complete Oekaki BBS with many new features compared to Poteto, including full support for Shi-Painter, file uploads, various fixes, and much lower bandwidth usage. Wacintaki also has a nifty resize option, which resizes the paint applet to fit your whole screen (no more teeny applet windows)!

Wacintaki includes a fully redesigned installer and updater to easily convert an existing Poteto 4.x or 5.x board, and a new installer which is much safer and asks for confirmation for most operations.

Some drawbacks are incompatibility with old OekakiPoteto templates, and the lack of a template designer (you MUST know CSS to make new templates). If you'd like an update more similar to the original Poteto, see my “Wax Poteto” mod, below.

This version is NOT supported by Theo Chakkapark or anyone else involved with the original Oekaki Poteto project. For help, please post issues with this version on the NineChime Forum.

What's New (5.6.3): Pretty much the same issues as Wacintaki 1.3.11, although there was a rather odd bug with edited comments being echoed in some cases.

SocketPermission errors: If you're having trouble with SocketPermission erorrs when submitting pictures with the applets, try using Internet Explorer or Opera. The Firefox version of the Java plugin (versions 1.5.0_r14 through 1.6.0_r3) have been confirmed to have a network connection bug. It only affects some servers, and so far, I have yet to figure out what server settings are causing the issue.

Wax Poteto is a significant upgrade from OekakiPoteto but tries to retain a large level of compatibility. As a result, it should be more comfortable for people upgrading from OP. It includes a template editor and uses the same menus as OP, while offering many of the features of Wacintaki.

This version is NOT supported by Theo Chakkapark or anyone else involved with the original Oekaki Poteto project. For help, please post issues with this version on the NineChime Forum.

New features include Shi-Painter support (including retouch), file uploads, new page numbers, avatars, the ability to enable/disable the chat room, a banner, and the ability to "bump" posts into new slots. Fixes include new menus which are more compatible with banner ads, more robust registration which keeps bad data from getting into the database, many security patches, and a problem where picture slots would skip repeatedly if they conflicted with an existing archived picture. Wax is also fully compatible with PHP 5 and MySQL 5.

To install a new board, or update an existing OekakiPoteto board, just read the included “readme.txt” file.

First release

MBackup is a script to back-up the member profiles on an OekakiPoteto or compatible oekaki board. It allows for several recovery options, and is intended as a quick, easy way to back-up your profiles, add members from other OP boards to a “master” board, or move an OP board to a new server.

It will only back-up the member profiles, not posts and comments. Use a database administration tool, like phpMyAdmin, to back-up an entire database.

New for 1.1: Updated for new Wacintaki 1.3 config file format.

OekakiBBS Import will convert an OekakiBBS v1.32 board to an OekakiPoteto, Wax Poteto, or Wacintaki BBS. Versions of OekakiBBS older than v1.32 have not been tested.
