if the JSON shows a real ID then that ID is what is in the backend database for that resource/document (post). if that's the case, then "TOR posting" is just front end code masking your real backend ID with 000000. "on hover" is a front-end CSS property. if they're only masking it in the bread but aren't masking it on hover, that would explain the difference.

>I don't know where the ID actually comes from.

probably just a random hex function that then gets rendered into color for boards that have that option turned on

if that's the case, then the JSON data wouldn't show a unique ID for TOR posters, would it? the JSON data is being transmitted from server side/backend to front end (html/css). the backend ID property should be 000000. a unique ID should never be created for the post if the server-side logic that creates the random ID accounts for TOR posting. something like a conditional - if TOR, then ID = 000000, which would then be transmitted to front end via JSON and rendered through html/css. instead the post does have a unique ID - it just appears to be hidden. but the logic for creating the ID has to be handled server side. unless i'm missing something, haven't actually looked at the source code, but that would be the common sense way to do it, imo

>the HTML contains 000000

not on hover….

>the masking step is being omitted for the JSON format

obviously the masking step is being omitted for JSON - JSON just holds the data for the object. there's no actual logic in the JSON. and there's no "isTORPost" property on the post, see picrel

>The server does the masking before sending the HTML

we're in agreement that this is how is SHOULD be done. but i don't think that's what's happening, or else the rendered HTML would have no access to a unique ID on hover… where is that ID coming from? it has to be backend server side logic.

is there an updated repo somewhere? this github doesn't appear to match the files in dev tools
