max_id is not yet implemented, as it'll need support added to the search backends. (since_id we get 'for free' by just cropping off the list, it'll do for now)
Code was doing a batch call to $avatar->delete() which fails to properly engage the file deletion code. Calling the existing profile->delete_avatars() function deletes them individually, which makes it all work nice again.
- "To" drop-down list now defaults to showing "Select recipient:" instead of the first person on your list, reducing liklihood of accidentally sending a message to the wrong person.
- When there are no mutual subscribers to send to, instead of an empty list the list now shows 'No mutual subscribers.'
In both cases, attempting to send when the default is selected displays an error message.
I'm not disabling form elements in part because our themes right now don't show disabled button state correctly; we might want to tighten that up a bit more once fixed.
The Meteor realtime plugin sets document.domain to the common prefix between the main server and the Meteor server's hostnames, which overrides the same-origin controls on JavaScript DOM access so the two parts of the app can speak to each other.
This unfortunately causes "fun" side effects for XMLHTTPRequest access to the main domain... if the new domain doesn't match the actual host (eg 'status.net' instead of 'brion.status.net') then we can't access the XHR's responseXML attribute, which holds a DOM tree of the parsed XML return data.
As a workaround, if we can't get at the contents there, we'll parse a fresh DOM tree in the local context from the responseText property, which remains available.
In the longer term, recommend retooling the realtime stuff so it's not fiddling with document.domain. It could also be an issue as it could allow local JavaScript XSS attacks to migrate to subdomains in other open windows.
This option may be useful for intranet sites that don't have direct access to the internet, as they may be unable to successfully fetch those resources.
