The new I LOVE X is ready.

i didnt do this: http://schefterblogz.blogspot.com/2007/02/little-story-from-fan-mail-bag.html

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.

everyone have patience and stop giving stet shit abt how nuilx sux.

stet stop blaming everything on jon.

I emailed you as well.

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 nearly typed goat town there.

dude, WHAT design?

surely you realise these things are all in the pipeline anyway

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.

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

that's great news.

fwiw, i access ILX from three computers. I dont know if this will be any help or not but:

Computer A: Laptop. Primary computer. Can not access nu-ILX when connected through my office network but can access nu-ILX when on wifi at home. This computer lets me go ANYWHERE on the internet. It is a work computer but I am usually not blocked from anything. I have tried with firewalls both off and on.

Computer B: Desktop at work. I use this computer less than 5% of the time. It is on a completeley different network than computer A. I am in Hawaii but my IP shows up on the mainland. This computer wont let me go anywhere near myspace, youtube, pr0n, etc. I CAN access nu-ILX on this computer.

Computer C: GF's laptop on wifi at home. Can access Nu-ILX.

i have registered and changed my password and succesfully posted.

as far as design, just make the WELCOME TO I LOVE EVERYTHING smaller, for starters.

also, tracer OTM wrt how much faster everything loads. i think sacrificing trackbacks and personal settings and search functions and stats is worth a faster board and no poxy fules. not having the LATER function is a major bummer though. but a faster board will come in handy when ILX is doing a 900 post thread on the red carpet at the oscars on monday morning.

stet: thanks for all the hard work you put into this. seriously, knowing that Andrew basically washed his hands of this place makes me realize what a pain it must be keeping it going. I think jaymc is right that you didnt really "unveil" nu-ILX in the most thought-out way but you dont deserve all the fuck-you's you're getting. part of the reson we like ILX is because it runs on home-made code and not some shitty looking stock bbs with colors and avatars and only seven posts per page. i know nothing about web design but i do know that.

love,

grady
