My main problem with nu-ILX is that everything is too spaced out. You can only see like 10 threads on New Answers at a time because there's a bunch of space between each one. And then within the thread, there's too much space above and below the horizontal line between each post (the line itself is too long, besides). I'm trying not to complain just because it's different, but it has the effect of making my eyes hurt, for real. I guess I just don't understand why it can't look exactly like ILX used to look. At this point, there are no significant advantages that nu-ILX has that would make me want to abandon the sandbox.

Well as has been stated, this is a work in progress and right now I believe it's all about functionality, not presentation.

You might think that. I'm down in its cogs with the grease :(

xxpost, it's already been mentioned why the sandbox is temporary and why it will eventually break like old ilx.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:35 (seventeen years ago) link

IM SURE ALL THAT SPACING STUFF WILL BE WORKED OUT NP ITS THE NAME CHANGING THAT NEEDS ADDRESSING

as has been stated, it's not functioning for a lot of people.

No probs with functionality on my end, I just ain't switching yet til the layout/spacing is tweaked/reduced.

When did Old ILX break? I thought it was taken down because of Jon's antics.

Ditto. Although I don't know anybody who has a problem with the traditional layout, so I don't know that it makes sense to make changes just to make changes.

John, don't argue about computer things, you're going to lose.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

jaymc, the pages are built differently so they aren't going to look exactly alike, straight out of the box.

nuIlx was in the works long before Jon's recent tantrum.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

ooh there's pretty blue stuff when u quote sum1??

― ogo (gcannon), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

John, JW's hacks were way down the line of reasons ILX had to go! Crikey, we've only been talking about it for years, what with all the poxy fuling of yore and the break-downs and the times when everything would just be haywire. The original code was never meant to do what it does now, and it'll always break sooner or later under stress. THAT'S why it's been remade.

Hahah SLOOOOW

hilarious thread everyone, there are starving children in africa etc.

I thought when ILX came back at the beginning of January, that WAS Nu-ILX. (Fair point, Dan.)

― ogo (gcannon), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

If we could tighten things up to something like this

I'd be happy.

xxxpost, I believe that was old code on new server.

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

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

nuILX is for the (starving) children (in Africa).

Morb, read one thread (and/or buy one bifocals) - stet already mentioned the e-mail notification bottleneck!

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

another great reason to register

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

sure you can! every time you post something, read something INTERACT WITH THE PAGE!

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.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i for one am staying right here. i've had enough of this back and forth with all the problems and complaining and jon and everyone arguing all the time and i am just staying put. ;_; for now.

― ogo (gcannon), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:51 (seventeen years ago) link

In terms of me typing an answer, pressing submit, and having it appear in the thread, you're right, it works, it's functional. But so did Old ILX and so does Sandbox ILX. What kind of functionality are we supposed to be impressed by?

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.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Why doesn't nuILX just look exactly like oldILX?

Wouldn't that have been the easiest decision as far as design?

this is going to be like when protestant churches split in two over half the church wanting to do Power Point-fuelled nu-music and the other half wanting to stick to hymns and hymnals.

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