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

xp The sandbox functions just fine.

xxpost, it's already been mentioned why the sandbox is temporary and why it will eventually break like old ilx.
-- Ms Misery (missmisery7...), Today 8:35 PM. (MsMisery) (later)

or jw will actually delete it all.

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

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.

― ogo (gcannon), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

― 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...

will my firewall situation be resolved when the "front door is open"?

also RIP trackbacks ;_; i just learned abt u and was gettin used to u. i didnt know u long but u were cool and u will be missed ;_;.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

so as we can bitch abt it duh

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?

― milo (milo), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

milo, pls tell me you're being sarcastic.

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.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

and we've been talking about it throughout this entire thread!

you build a house in the jungle and then you build it in the desert why cant it look the same?

This is going to be like when hitler came to power and was like lol i didn't kill any jews, yr cache is fucked; hit shift reload

― Del Monte Young (ex machina), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

this is more about making sure things work as planned rather than impressing us.

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.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

there were four lights and now there are only three why cant there be four lights again i want my mom

― 526 (526), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

So Jaymc, since the content is the same and the appearance is slightly different, that means the appearance is the breaking point?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

But so did Old ILX and so does Sandbox ILX. What kind of functionality are we supposed to be impressed by?

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.
