Hide images completely hoses images over there :( So its either barrage of pr0n/ILXors, or nothing at all. Sigh oh well.

even with the font changed, I find nuILX almost unreadable. Too much space, maybe?

MAYBE

These options are all win-win!

I'd still like someone to confirm that the reason why a work-in-progress was unveiled to the public was so that it could be test-driven. Because as it stands, I don't like the fact that half of ILX is on Nu-ILX and the other half is still on the Sandbox. I wish it had been more like, "Hey guys, test this out for a day or two, let us know what works and what doesn't, then we'll figure out how to fix it so that everyone's happy, and then later we'll unveil the whole thing as Shiny Nu-ILX."

Because Jon left us no choice? He unilaterally started fucking with the old, busted code (to tell us it was old and busted, apparently). We had to take it down, because it seriously shouldn't be up if people are going to hack at it, it's way too vulnerable and I'm not having our sole server get pwnd because of some 1990s-era PHP vulnerability.

At that point, there were two options: a pile of pointless work on the old code to secure it, or a hasty slap on the new code's ass, which needed stress-testing anyway. (Or leaving ILX down for months again, which I really didn't want to do.)

When we say it's "in progress", that's a general it-will-be-improved note, not a "we're actively still adding features right now, tonight". We need to first make sure the hugely-complicated cache works properly (it seems to be) and then think about where to take it next.

I don't like the fact that half of ILX is here either. This was never meant to be a permanent site, and it won't be. I'd be taking it down soon anyway, apart from the very real problem of people who plain can't get to the new site.

Uh, OK den. I agree it's not his fault the new code isn't ideal.

I can't log in. I've tried with two passwords. Failed login each time, and I am following directions!

you gotta type out your whole email addy as your login name, smarty.

Did you register? I can't find the email you're using here in the user db

― stet (stet), Thursday, 22 February 2007 01:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I registered, tried with one password which failed, then clicked "forgot password " and got a new password which also failed. Shall I register again?

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Thursday, 22 February 2007 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

do. if that fails, email me.

― stet (stet), Thursday, 22 February 2007 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay.

THANKS FOR WORKING SO HARD TO MAKE SOMETHING SO UNUSABLE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN BACK-BREAKING WORK BUT IT'S A RESOUNDING SUCCESS.

stet, i'll try again on my home computer, if its still fucked i'll e-mail you.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Thursday, 22 February 2007 02:35 (seventeen years ago) link

1) it will not let me post messages on nu-ilx. says "message failed" or something.
2) i want to change my login name because i chose something stupid in error and now i want homosexual II back.

― maunders (maunders), Thursday, 22 February 2007 03:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, not even opening for me.

xxxxxpost to Keith : I have managed to register from my work computer this morning, so all is well. I wonder though whether I will be able to access nu-ILX from home (I had trouble posting on certain threads on old ILX from my home computer because my address had been caught up in an IP ban on someone else. It wasn't much of a problem as I don't often post much from home anyway, but if I am now going to be excluded from nu-ILX completely at home, I will make a sad face).

― C J (C J), Thursday, 22 February 2007 09:33 (seventeen years ago) link

stet, i still haven't received my password via email.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 22 February 2007 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

If only there were some sort of organisational method one could employ to solve this e-mail backlog.

― Michael Annoyman (Michael Annoyman), Thursday, 22 February 2007 11:41 (seventeen years ago) link

stet the new board freakin ZOOMS! however...

1) the design
2) search
3) trackbacks
4) rss
5) settings
6) user info page
7) stats cock
8) bookmarking boards

are all missing! ;_;

it really feels like there's a tiger in the tank now, though.

i also now realise i am just repeating everything everyone else has already said a million times. sorry dude.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 22 February 2007 12:35 (seventeen years ago) link

are the majority of people back in the nu ilx these days?

ILM is a ghost town.

I nearly typed goat town there.

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 22 February 2007 12:37 (seventeen years ago) link

1) the design

dude, WHAT design?

surely you realise these things are all in the pipeline anyway

― resumo impetus (blueski), Thursday, 22 February 2007 12:38 (seventeen years ago) link

1. I know. I welcome all attempts to help!
2. There's a balance here between server-killing super-search and hard-to-find little search. Still it's better than what we've had all year, which was no search at all!
3. Not gonna happen
4. Maybe in future, yeh.
5. This is a per-user thing, and that's bad voodoo for the cache system, which is where the speed comes from
6. See above. I could make something static, I suppose.
7. Actually, incredibly resource-intensive. Used to kill old server, even after turbo button pushed.
8. Yeh, I know. It's a per-user thing too though (see above). A default set like ILE/ILM should probably be put there. For the rest, browser bookmarks will have to do in the short term.

I am liking the speed, tho.

PEOPLE WITH TROUBLE EVEN GETTING TO THE SITE
We know why this is, and will fix it over the weekend.

DJ Martian: I've cleared out the backlog. Try using the forgotten password link, and I'll watch out for you in logs.

― stet (stet), Thursday, 22 February 2007 12:39 (seventeen years ago) link

sandbox and nu-ilx are equally quiet (relatively)

― resumo impetus (blueski), Thursday, 22 February 2007 12:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd argue in favour of an old-skool link in the top-right corner, when you could easily jump from ILE to ILM. Maybe a ModRequest link as well.

I would help w/ design but I do not know how to help w/ design

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 22 February 2007 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Can't get into Nu-ILX from work's PC. And I'm not allowed to change my Interweb settings at work. Will I be in exile forever?

Presumably all of this is in hand...But I felt like complaining anyway.
