Changelog

Release notes, security updates, and feature milestones.

  • Public API endpoint -- New /api/public/status endpoint provides public access to system statistics (active users, posts, comments, tags) without authentication. Returns recent posts and trending tags.
  • API access control -- Added /api/public endpoint as entry point for public API status checking, returning success status and timestamp for any non-admin/moderation endpoint.
  • Premium preview section -- Added nickname style preview (6 solid colors + 6 gradients) and avatar frame preview (6 glow effects with animations) to the Premium page, showing live visual effects before purchase.
  • Tag type system -- Added tag types (General, Character, Series, Artist, Meta) with distinct color coding across tag pages, post pages, and moderation panels. New /tags page filter allows filtering by tag type.
  • Tag type badges -- Visual type indicators (CHAR, COPY, ART, META, GEN) on tag cards and post tag lists for better organization.
  • Video upload improvements -- Graceful handling when FFmpeg is unavailable: videos now upload without transcoding instead of failing completely. Metadata extraction failures no longer block uploads (uses sensible defaults).
  • Security hardening -- Fixed 12 npm vulnerabilities via npm audit fix --force (updated sharp, postcss, and transitive dependencies).
  • Dark mode default -- Theme context now defaults to dark mode immediately on first load, removing the "mounted" guard that caused flash of light theme. No more system preference check for initial render.
  • Version bump -- Updated changelog version badge from 5.3.3 to 5.4.0.
  • Tag validation -- Unified client/server tag validation regex to allow German umlauts (äöüß), uppercase letters, and 30-character limit.
  • Tag API -- Added tagType filter parameter to /api/tags for filtering by tag type.
  • Mastodon link -- Removed Mastodon link (mast.f0ck.org/@f0ck_org) from the site footer to declutter external links.
  • Post not found regression -- Restored two-step post lookup: prefers id field (URL convention), falls back to numericId. The 5.3.3 commit incorrectly removed these, causing posts to not be found when navigating via URL. Adjacent post navigation uses id for deterministic ordering.
  • ThemeProvider crash on settings page -- Removed the if (!mounted) return <>{children}</> guard from ThemeContext that rendered children outside the provider during SSR/initial render, causing useTheme() to throw. The provider now always wraps children with the default "dark" theme until client hydration.
  • Post navigation bug -- Fixed ambiguous query in getAdjacentPosts() that matched across both id and numericId fields (which can diverge). Now performs a two-step lookup (prefer id, fallback to numericId) and sorts exclusively by id for deterministic post resolution. Pressing A/D keys no longer jumps to unrelated posts.
  • Tags not displaying -- Added tags: 1 to the post listing API .select() projection and added tag rendering to the PostGrid component. Tags saved during upload now appear as purple pills on post cards (up to 3, with "+N" overflow indicator).
  • Comment formatting broken -- Implemented parseCommentFormatting() utility that converts markdown syntax (**bold**, *italic*, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~) to React elements. Added Underline and Strikethrough buttons to both Comment.tsx and CommentList.tsx formatting toolbars. Updated DOMPurify allowed tags to include <u> and <s>. Fixed CommentList preview to render formatted text instead of raw string.
  • Sitemap not updating -- Added missing revalidatePath() calls to moderation post deletion (/sitemap_uploads.xml), tag deletion (/sitemap_tags.xml), comment deletion by author/mod (/sitemap_comments.xml), and ban/unban actions (/sitemap_users.xml). Reduced sitemap cache headers from 3600s to 300s. Removed /moderation/public from sitemap index (it's a page, not a sub-sitemap).
  • Meta tags duplication -- Fixed title duplication (f0ck.org | f0ck.org) by using { absolute: title } in generateMetadata() and all page-level metadata exports. The layout template "%s | f0ck.org" now only applies to pages without explicit metadata.
  • robots.txt blocking public pages -- Consolidated robots.txt into Next.js robots.ts Metadata API. /moderation/public is now allowed for crawling; only private routes (/api/, /account/, /admin/, /settings/, auth routes, /upload) are blocked. Removed static public/robots.txt which was ignored by Next.js App Router.
  • Footer links -- Added "Free ShareX & Flameshot host" (https://sx.f0ck.org) and "f0ck TeamSpeak" (teamspeak://ts.f0ck.org) to the site footer.
  • Ko-fi / Support Us links -- Removed all Ko-fi donation links from Footer, Help page, and Terms page. Crypto donation addresses on Help page preserved.
  • Post detail "Post not found" error -- Fixed undefined variable id in src/app/api/posts/[id]/route.ts:92 -- changed to rawId. Posts without tags previously caused a ReferenceError resulting in a 500 response, displayed as "Post not found" in the client.
  • Comment links pointing to wrong posts -- Fixed numericId/id drift in comments API normalization. The canonicalId pattern (p.numericId || p.id) was overwriting p.id with numericId when they differed, causing comment links to go to wrong posts. Now only sets numericId from id if missing -- original id is preserved.
  • Comment link ID priority -- Changed all post link construction across Comment.tsx, CommentList.tsx, notificationService.ts, UserProfile.tsx, and RecentActivity.tsx to prefer id over numericId, matching the user-facing URL convention.
  • Comment link Object Object -- Fixed ObjectId-to-string conversion in notificationService, reported-comments API, Comment.tsx post links, and CommentList.tsx comment ID mapping. Comment fragment links now correctly resolve to the intended comment instead of showing [object Object].
  • Comment POST response ID -- Added explicit id = _id.toString() in the comments POST handler to ensure consistent string IDs in API responses.
  • Upload tag assignment -- Tag inputs are now disabled during upload to prevent stale tag state. Replaced shared currentTag state with per-item state to avoid cross-item input pollution.
  • Video upload temp file cleanup -- Fixed potential temp file leak in getVideoMetadata() by adding a settled flag and proper cleanup in both resolve and reject paths.
  • Video upload MIME type whitelist -- Added video/x-mov to the upload route whitelist for consistency with the upload library.
  • Dependabot security -- Updated nodemailer from 8.0.11 to 9.0.1 to fix GHSA-p6gq-j5cr-w38f (arbitrary file read / SSRF via raw option). All 23 open Dependabot alerts addressed -- 0 vulnerabilities remaining.
  • Version -- Bumped to 5.3.1 in package.json.
  • npm dependencies -- nodemailer 9.0.1 (security fix).
  • Admin user management -- New /api/admin/users endpoint for administrators to list, search, and modify user roles (user, premium, moderator, admin, banned) and grant/revoke premium status.
  • Footer link -- Added "ZNC bouncer" link to https://znc.f0ck.org in the site footer.
  • Comment post linking -- Fixed ObjectId query in /api/posts/[id] to prevent NaN branches when resolving ObjectId URLs (kilo-code-bot review).
  • Comment fragment preview -- Consolidated try-block in checkForCommentFragment, added status filter to only load approved comments for SEO metadata.
  • Adjacent post navigation -- Query now includes { id: numericId } for legacy numeric route compatibility.
  • Sitemap safety -- Both comment sitemap and main sitemap now filter out unsafe-rated posts when indexing comment URLs.
  • npm dependencies -- Updated packages to latest stable versions.
  • Version -- Bumped to 5.3.0 in package.json and README.
  • CHANGELOG -- Fixed typo "Keep a Keep a Changelog" to "Keep a Changelog".
  • Comment post linking -- Fixed critical bug where comments linked to wrong post IDs (e.g. comment on post/300 linked to post/25). Root cause was id vs numericId field divergence in Post model. All comment API routes now consistently resolve and return numericId as canonical post identifier.
  • Comment API post lookup -- GET and POST /api/comments now search by { $or: [{ numericId }, { id }] } instead of only { id }, ensuring correct post resolution regardless of which field matches.
  • Comment POST response -- Fixed postObjectId?.id (which returned ObjectId hex string) to use the actual numeric post ID.
  • CommentList data mapping -- Post ID mapping now prioritizes numericId over _id for consistent URL generation.
  • Tag upload limit -- Increased max tags from 15 to 30 across all upload paths (normalizeInputTags, validateUploadParams, client-side validation in FileList, BatchTagging, upload page).
  • Sitemap comment URLs -- Comments sitemap now resolves numeric post IDs via batch lookup instead of using raw ObjectId strings in URLs.
  • Sitemap post filtering -- Unsafe-rated posts excluded from sitemap for better SEO quality.
  • User profile Recent Activity overflow -- Added min-w-0, break-words, truncate classes to prevent long titles/content from breaking layout.
  • Post page adjacent post navigation -- Fixed to use numericId for navigation and _id for fallback lookup.
  • Post page metadata -- Removed noindex for unsafe content -- all posts are now indexable.
  • Root layout title -- Changed from "Free ShareX Host" to "f0ck.org - Anonymous Imageboard".
  • Site metadata name -- Changed from "Free ShareX Host" to "f0ck.org" across all pages.
  • Moderation public page -- Redesigned from card-based list to structured table layout with consistent columns (Action, Time, Details, Reason).
  • Filter hover effects -- Removed hover:-translate-y lift animations from filter containers and buttons on /posts/, /tags/, and /users/ pages for a cleaner, more static appearance.
  • Tags page -- Added missing <Footer /> component to /tags/ page.
  • Dynamic version display on homepage pulled from package.json environment variable.
  • Public moderation log page at /moderation/public with read-only activity wall.
  • API endpoint /api/moderation/public-activity for anonymous access to moderation actions.
  • video/x-mov MIME type support for .mov video uploads.
  • Footer: Removed sx.f0ck.org link, Teamspeak entry moved to Ko-fi Support link (already in place).
  • Rules page: Removed Discord integration section, added "Reporting Content" guidelines.
  • Navigation: Desktop "Home" link now uses gradient styling matching footer.
  • Tag validation: Now allows underscores in tag names for better compatibility.
  • Validation error messages: Improved specificity for unsupported file types.
  • Upload rejects fewer-than-3 tags and normalizes/dedupes/lowercases tag input before persistence.
  • Post tag editor now creates tags via /api/tags and persists additions with PUT /api/posts/[id]/tags; spacebar no longer triggers tag creation.
  • Post page tag enrichment uses one $in query instead of N+1 findOne calls and matches case-insensitively.
  • Moderation delete path decrements author uploads for posts and invokes comment stats cleanup for comment deletions.
  • Sitemap revalidation added for /api/user profile updates and pool membership changes.
  • Comment timestamps now link to the matching comments view for the post instead of fragment-only anchors.
  • Post page exposes a Mod Log shortcut for moderators/admins.
  • Account statistics tiles for likes, favorites and tags are now clickable filters.
  • Updated dependency versions to address Dependabot advisories.

[Unreleased]

  • Comment formatting toolbar with Bold, Italic, Link, and Preview actions in comment forms.
  • Anonymous-user hint in comment forms indicating no account is required.
  • Post thumbnails in comment listings next to "Comment on:" references.
  • Changelog page now uses collapsible version sections with search/filter and section item counts.
  • Settings page redesigned with SettingRow/SectionHeader layout and animated Switch component.
  • Privacy settings moved to the bottom of the account page and now auto-save via PUT /api/user.
  • EmojiPicker renders through a React Portal to prevent z-index stacking issues.
  • Account bio enforces a 250-character limit with visual feedback at thresholds.
  • Post navigation (getAdjacentPosts) now respects content rating filter from query parameter when navigating between posts.
  • Posts page pagination crash from circular URL/state sync when infinite scroll is disabled.
  • Tag filter removal now uses index-based deletion to avoid stale-closure failures.
  • Comment and report modal layering corrected with portal rendering and elevated z-index values.
  • PostFilter "More" button now uses flex-shrink-0 to avoid compression on small screens.
  • Comment timestamp links now correctly point to /post/{id}#comment-{id} instead of /comments?postId=..., restoring the expected navigation behavior.
  • Comment "Comment on:" section now shows a clickable thumbnail of the linked post, enabling quick navigation and visual context.
  • User profile stats aggregation (/api/users/[username]) -- Fixed duplicate $lookup for pools (was counting pools twice) and added missing $lookup for posts (reported 0 uploads for all users). Stats are now computed correctly in a single aggregation pipeline.
  • Banned users can no longer log in -- Added explicit role === "banned" check in auth.ts credentials flow and refresh-session callback, blocking both new sessions and existing JWT renewal.
  • Changelog page now shows a more informative error with searched file paths when CHANGELOG.md cannot be read from the filesystem.
  • Footer now includes a "Mod View" link to /moderation/public for transparent moderation access by all users and visitors.
  • Explicit empty catch blocks replaced with console.warn() logging for improved debuggability.
  • Previously banned users with valid sessions could still refresh their JWT; the refresh callback now invalidates the token and forces logout.
  • PNG upload error -- Resolved a.pipeThrough is not a function crash by aligning processUpload to the existing Readable.toWeb(Readable.from(...)) pattern already used in /api/upload and assemble-chunks routes, restoring PNG/Web Stream compatibility with file-type v22.
  • Chunked image upload rejection -- The assemble-chunks route no longer rejects all non-video uploads; PNG, JPEG, and other image formats are now accepted after chunk reassembly.
  • Chunk metadata safety -- Malformed or undefined chunk meta.json values (tags, contentRating) no longer crash chunk assembly; tags are validated as arrays and content ratings are coerced to the supported set before being persisted.
  • Legacy PNG MIME support -- image/x-png is now whitelisted across upload entry points, preventing false rejections on older browser-reported PNG types.
  • Client paste path validation -- Clipboard-paste uploads in the dropzone now apply the same type/size filter as drag-and-drop, removing a bypass for oversized or unsupported pasted PNGs.
  • Comment formatting toolbar -- Bold, Italic, Link, and Preview buttons in comment creation/reply/edit forms.
  • Comment anonymous hint -- Shows "No account needed" text for unauthenticated users in comment form.
  • Comment post thumbnails -- Comment listings now show post thumbnails next to "Comment on:" links.
  • Blog system -- /f0ck/blog/ listing and detail pages with RSS feed at /api/blog/rss.
  • Dynamic sitemap -- Sitemap now includes public user profiles and individual comment pages alongside posts, tags, and pools.
  • Changelog page redesign -- Collapsible version sections, search/filter, collapsible subsections with item counts, back-to-top button, compact summary badges per version.
  • Settings page redesign -- Polished animated Switch component with checkmark/X icons, improved setting row layout with descriptions, better section grouping.
  • Comment mobile responsiveness -- Action buttons wrap on mobile, responsive mention dropdown, scrollable formatting toolbar.
  • EmojiPicker portal rendering -- Now renders via React Portal to document.body to prevent z-index stacking issues.
  • Privacy settings placement -- Moved to bottom of account page, after security integrations section.
  • Post navigation skipping unsafe/sketchy posts -- getAdjacentPosts no longer filters by content rating -- navigation always finds the truly adjacent post regardless of rating.
  • Posts page pagination crash -- Fixed circular dependency between URL sync and page state that caused infinite offset loop when infinite scroll was disabled.
  • Tag filter double-click -- Changed from value-based to index-based tag removal using ref to avoid stale closure.
  • Comment z-index layering -- Emoji picker and report modal now properly layer above comments via portal rendering and z-index fixes.
  • PostFilter "More" button overflow -- Added flex-shrink-0 to prevent button compression on smaller screens.
  • Comment report modal z-index -- Bumped to z-[10000] to render above emoji picker.
  • Account bio character limit -- Enforced 250 character limit with visual feedback (yellow at 200+, red at 250).
  • Privacy settings not saving -- Privacy toggles now auto-save to backend via PUT /api/user with 500ms debounce and status feedback.

API -- /api/user

  • MongoDB password projection error corrected -- GET /api/user now returns 500 because the aggregation pipeline mixed inclusion (password: 1) with exclusion (password: 0) in the same $project stage. Fixed by removing the inclusion; only password: 0 is used, preventing MongoServerError: Invalid $project. Ref: src/app/api/user/route.ts.

EmojiPicker & GifSelector -- runtime crash

  • onClose is not a function crash fixed in both EmojiPicker (src/components/EmojiPicker.tsx) and GifSelector (src/components/GifSelector.tsx): onClose is now an optional prop with a default no-op, so components render safely even when the prop is omitted.
  • CommentList comment creation form (src/app/comments/components/CommentList.tsx): EmojiPicker and GifSelector instances in the comment creation box now receive the correct onClose callback and no longer depend on a non-existent wrapper onClick handler.
  • PostDetails comment composition box (src/app/posts/components/PostDetails.tsx): EmojiPicker and GifSelector both receive onClose callbacks, matching the implementation already present in the inline Comment reply box.

Navigation labels swapped

  • Posts list pagination (src/app/posts/components/PostsPage.tsx): Left arrow button was labelled "Next" but navigated to the previous page; right arrow button was labelled "Previous" but navigated forward. Both labels swapped to read Previous / Next, matching the Math.max(1, p-1) and Math.min(totalPages, p+1) action handlers.

Post-level navigation labels swapped

  • Single-post post navigator (src/app/posts/components/PostNavigation.tsx): Previous button was wired to nextPostId (higher-ID / newer post, not the older one) and Next button was wired to previousPostId. JSX conditionals swapped so that Previous is shown only when previousPostId exists and navigates to the older post, while Next is shown only when nextPostId exists and navigates to the newer post.

Footer

  • Discord server link removed from footer (src/components/Footer.tsx); TeamSpeak 3 ts3server://ts.f0ck.org link retained as the sole external chat link.

Next.js Image config

  • images.qualities: [75, 95] added to next.config.mjs so that quality={95} used in PostDetails.tsx is an allowed value and the Next.js build/DevTools warning disappears.

Account page -- session fallback for avatar

  • AccountCard initial avatarUrl state (src/app/account/components/AccountCard.tsx) falls back to session?.user?.avatar (the value already known to NextAuth at login), preventing a flash of the default avatar before the /api/user profile API completes.

Google indexing / SEO

  • Added src/app/sitemap.ts so that Google and other search-engines can discover /posts, /comments, /account, /moderation, /f0ck/changelog, /rules, /terms, and /help -- previously only the homepage was listed in any indexable source.
  • Changelog page file-access path candidates expanded (src/app/f0ck/changelog/page.tsx) to include an absolute project-root fallback, so CHANGELOG.md reliably loads even in standalone Docker/prod contexts where process.cwd() points to the server working directory rather than the source tree root.
  • Phase 0-1-1: Critical SSRF hardened with env var fallback + DNS resolution checks; production data-leak (console.log) removed from PostDetails.tsx; ModActionsPanel action whitelist via TypeScript as const.
  • Phase 0-1-2: ESLint reduced 56 to 26 warnings (0 errors); let to const x8; 4 HTML-entity escapes; 4 require() to ESM imports; 11 react-hooks/exhaustive-deps fixes.

  • Phase 0-1-5: LiveWall component with AbortController polling; QuickActions onTabChange wired; PostModerator 8 dead typeof toast !== 'undefined' guards removed; ModLog action types fixed (feature/unfeature to MARK_AS_AD/REMOVE_AD).
  • Phase 0-1-6: Comment creation form UI added to unified CommentList; stale closure fixed in handleLoadMore; 3 replace() to replaceAll() fixes in GIF/content rendering; /post/[id] page renders inline CommentList; 1,798 lines of dead code removed across 6 old comment files.
  • Phase 0-1-7: PostNavigation label direction corrected; content-rating filter reads ?rating= from URL; keyboard navigation fixed (A = older, D = newer); PostNavigation wrapped in Suspense boundary; getImageUrlWithCacheBuster regex fixed with g flag.
  • Phase 0-1-8: CommentsPage ingestion path quarantined (no longer imported into posts detail routes); CommentModeration uses unified component; CommentFilter and CommentList refactored to shared component shape.
  • Phase 0-1-9: Manifest page with layout/content/PDF route; Values page (8 hacker values); Community page with guidelines; History page with milestones; API documentation page; Blog system with data/listing/detail pages/API/RSS.
  • Phase 0-1-10: Vitest config with setupFiles; test env vars/hooks; 18 navigation filter tests; 30 tag E2E tests; 48 new tests all passing.
  • Phase 0-1-11: AddToPoolModal enhanced (search, loading, error); Pool API permission checks with moderator override; contributor tracking on pool actions; Pools field added to User model; Pool stats on user profiles.
  • Phase 0-1-12: Full build, lint, test pass; CHANGELOG and README updated; 66 tests (65 passing, 1 pre-existing TS check unrelated).
