Martian, Stet's already mentioned the sendmail is choking and slowing that down.

Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen. I'm looking forward to getting used to it...

I guess I understand this, but what's the point of unveiling it early when it's still a literal eyesore? It's not like we can SEE the functionality.
― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link
I can't speak to the whys of it being put out there now, but just go with the flow, you know? I'm sure all will be worked out in time.

it's completely new code, built entirely differently, the biggest change ilx has undergone since leaving greenspan. this is more about making sure things work as planned rather than impressing us.

What's sarcastic about that? It's pretty much what I've been wondering throughout this entire thread.

So you mean it was unveiled early so that people could get test posts in, make sure things don't fuck up? I guess that makes sense. I'll just leave it to you and Ned to make all of them.

That's not true. Old ILX was bust to fuck. Before we left Australia, it was poxy fuled almost every day, purely because of the load. The new server bought us some time, but even then within about a month it was hitting the limits and timing out. I raised the limits twice, and it still kept growing. By June, I estimate, it would have been dead in the water again.
Sandbox ILX works because it has virtually no threads.
Both have huge security holes, which drives Jon crazy with temptation.
Appearance: the new stylesheet will slowly move closer to how ILX looks right now, I promise. But using stylesheets lets us have a preference for how you want ILX to look, so people who want old-school work-safe can have that, and someone who wants prettier versions or a version tailored for blackberries/phones can have them too.

Exactly.
and we've been talking about it throughout this entire thread!
All you've said is that functionality is more important than presentation. I'm saying we already have a template for presentation -- why go to the trouble of creating a new one? Or are functionality and presentation inextricably linked?

Okay, that's kind of cool. Not to get all Tuomas, but I don't know what a stylesheet is -- are you saying Nu-ILX has them and Old-ILX didn't?
― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link
Yes: old ILX hard-codes what it looks like, so it's difficult to change. New ILX can have a zillion different appearances. The one that's there just now is NOT FINAL.

close, they are separate. pages in old ilx are built by php, nuilx, by java. they will be rendered differently and the onion-skin layer of presentation isn't an issue (nor should it really be) at this stage when the code and db elements are getting worked out. also stet has spoke to some of this on the thread on nu board.
