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

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.

i'm curious to know who's claimed identity: tuomas.

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

why not? cinderblocks are cinderblocks be they in the jungle or the desert.

xxxxpost - the last consideration shows how ilx has truly arrived!

I briefly considered claiming something masonic but didn't really want to bring a shitstorm upon nuILX.

yea whats up with that i want my treehouse in the desert maybe if i cry it will come

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?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

no one has answered john's question yet i've noticed.

― chicago kevin is still a little dizzy (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

it will have windows and i can peer out and stick tongue out at tuomas as he looks around and says what is a desert my shoelace is undone

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

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?

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.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

So how do you tailor these stylesheets? I have little idea what they are or where they can be found.

seems the easiest way to avoid this entire thing would've been to title this thread "The new I LOVE X is up but not ready"

Front door is open. I'll look into your troubles.

No worky on my cell phone, unfortunately. Don't know if this has been mentioned on this thread (can't read more than about 35 replies, and certainly not when people post pictures, internal memory too small), but I can register (can't select my time zone because there are like eight hundred of them and the page stops at the tenth Argentina one), but when I then try to log in it first warns that my password is being sent to another server and then "invalid web address" and (retry) "page not found". Will try again tomorrow at work (only have internet on my phone at home at the moment, just moved, won't have cable until the end of the month). Other than that, everything looks fine!

OMG does that mean I get to use AVATARS NOWWWW??

Using stylesheets is all well and good, but why not just graft css class names onto the old layout and then let people go wild with sheets

― Del Monte Young (ex machina), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

also can't load the page, and I'm not about to go messing with firewall settings at a freelance job's computer.

Why not have a style sheet that looks just like old ilx? Or the latest rage: style sheet option buttons so the user can change his own personal experience?

if you live on the East Coast, your time zone can be America/Dawson-Creek

Both things are the plan. If you want to work on the first one, do so and send it to me!
