A bit earlier than planned, here’s nuILX.
You’ll have to register again to post. Some things are different, including the links at the top of the page. Some things are new, like Poll threads. Some things are completely gone, like Blog view and Trackbacks.
Some things are completely unchanged, like the Question/Answer format, and calls to ban Louis Jagger.
Because this is being run earlier than we expected, there may be some kinks, and some stuff might not work as you expect. There’s also a need for polish in places (like the stylesheet!). But until we can see how well the basic stuff holds up, the code will be frozen. Give it time!
For the next few hours, the front door will still be shut to googlers and co. Get to the site

works for me but ugh, yeah the font...
still doesn’t work for me. so i guess this is good bye. ;_;
for real, that font unreadable

can we not change user name (as opposed to login) as previously?
I don’t bitch too much about ilx type stuff all that often but it is really really hideously ugly.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK TIMES NEW ROMAN
DISABLE CSS! geez people. . .
I don’t know what that means
DISABLE CSS! geez people. . .
— Ms Misery (missmisery7...)
Sorry I don’t want to have to set this up for every browser I ever use, you fucking fuck.
(um disabling css that is—well okay I know it means disable cascading style sheets but I dunno how to do it.)
ok did anyone else have troubles just registering because it is next to impossible to read the letters??
can’t login
is ugly
likely to be made worse by one of jon’s tantrums
etc etc
holy shit jon and I agree on somethin
no. bring back nothing. it honest to god is barely even readable with the style sheet turned on, if you disable it, as Ms Misery suggested, it’s practically A-OK all around.
but I don’t want to have to turn CSS on and off and on and off to use ILX and the rest of the internet. just get rid of the stylesheet altogether.
“ok did anyone else have troubles just registering because it is next to impossible to read the letters??”
yep—had to do it 3 times.

I’m sure a lot of hard work went into scripting nuILX, but seeing as it’s a crippled bastard changeling of the one I know, uglier and with fewer features and NO HTML, I don’t really appreciate the work at all!
This is good group QA, dudes.
remind me again exactly what is wrong with the lix sandbox??

It’s more secure from Jon, which means I don’t have to run around fixing old holes in code that he’s “helpfully” pointing out. It also won’t take up 100% of the processor power on the one small server we have, so we won’t be back at the poxy fule every 4pm we had late last year. The ilx sandbox is none of these things.
JON YOU HAVE BEEN FLAGGED
YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING THE INEFFICIENCY OF THE NETWORK
YOU MUST BE PURGED
ethan, eventually, once the posts build up, sandbox will be subject to the same breaks and poxyfules as the old ilx. it’s the same old, broken code.
first rule of IT: the only thing users hate more than the old system is the new system
second rule of IT: uh, ask your users about their preferences before changing things!
fuck you nazis
that’s your hstencil jr squat that was banned, isn’t it?
I can’t believe I paypalled hard-earned US dollars to you fucks so you could “protect ILX against Jon.” What a fucking scam; I am such a dupe.
Well, the one i registered to my domain DIDN’T ARRIVE.
I haven’t really been paying attention to this but I’m kinda shocked to find out that the new code’s main advantage is that it can’t be hacked by one of our own users?! wtf jon
“Protect ILX again rules of good taste”
I haven’t really been paying attention to this but I’m kinda shocked to find out that the new code’s main advantage is that it can’t be hacked by one of our own users?! wtf jon
remains to be seen
oooh get him
fuck you guys seriously.
i would rather have old ilx be up like 60% of the time and get poxyfuled the other 40% than have new ilx up 100% of the time
I can’t believe I paypalled hard-earned US dollars to you fucks so you could “protect ILX against Jon.” What a fucking scam; I am such a dupe.
UH, no, you paypalled it so we could buy a server after Andrew took his old one away. The amount of cash that was left over after that was a negative sum, so all the code and work is for free.
The old code could have stayed up for a bit longer, as the new server had plenty of headroom. But Jon fucked about with its many security holes, so we moved to the new more secure code, like he was obviously demanding.
Login failed. repeatedly. I give up for now.
Also, the default text size is too big.
If you’re going to ban me, you should be upfront instead of lying, you java-using nazis
I can’t register. It keeps giving me an error message.
ILX for me no mo :(
he demanded bookman font? JON YOU BASTARD
Login failed. repeatedly. I give up for now.
Fuck this. fuck you guys. PEACE!
CRYING EAGLE BOOKMAN.JPG
wait are you really banning jon?
this is the funniest thing ive seen in ages:D
“protect against Jon” really means “protect against any and all malicious and unauthorized use” but the only person who’s ever been so hard up about internet bullshit to actually hack this place is, in fact, Jon, plus his name is nice and short and easy to type.
bad explanation for weak sauce, stet dude. demonize jon all you want, your code still sucks choad.
than have new ilx up 100% of the time
It’s been up for less than an hour! Give it some time!
second rule of IT: uh, ask your users about their preferences before changing things!
you’ve obv. never worked in IT.
if all he’s doing is running around causing massive problems for our coders (who are working for free) than fuck yes ban him.
not that anyone cares what I think.
did you just call me “stet dude?”
you’ve obv. never worked in IT.

I wub dat painting.
Kronos cry while eated childerns.
i still cant event get the nu page to show up on my screen.
i am feeling a lot like tuomas right now.
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!
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.
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
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

THUNDERDOME

Please open up port 80. Cannot reach the new server from work...

I’m not complaining about the log-out thing though, shit, a local music messageboard I “registered” with 3 days ago has yet to send me my activation code.
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.”
jaymc doesn’t like it!
hey what are you guys talking about over there?
hello?
Is there any way to make login not time-out?
I guess there’s no more User Info page either.
Hide images completely hoses images over there :( So its either barrage of pr0n/ILXors, or nothing at all. Sigh oh well.
this is whack
even with the font changed, I find nuILX almost unreadable. Too much space, maybe?
MAYBE

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.
(grady/chicago kevin if you’re still having problems, drop me a line please will you?)
dudes cant we all be cool?
everyone have patience and stop giving stet shit abt how nuilx sux.
stet stop blaming everything on jon.
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.
I did!
failed again. nu ilx hates me.

(Save Our Beth)
Did you register? I can’t find the email you’re using here in the user db
I registered, tried with one password which failed, then clicked “forgot password ” and got a new password which also failed. Shall I register again?
do. if that fails, email me.
Okay.

I emailed you as well.

stet, i’ll try again on my home computer, if its still fucked i’ll e-mail you.
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.
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).
stet, i still haven’t received my password via email.
If only there were some sort of organisational method one could employ to solve this e-mail backlog.
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.
are the majority of people back in the nu ilx these days?
ILM is a ghost town.
I nearly typed goat town there.
1) the design
dude, WHAT design?
surely you realise these things are all in the pipeline anyway
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.
sandbox and nu-ilx are equally quiet (relatively)
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
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.

PEOPLE WITH TROUBLE EVEN GETTING TO THE SITE
We know why this is, and will fix it over the weekend.
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
grady does know that
Andrew left? I had no idea. But yeah, you guys can’t be thanked enough. Don’t take any of the complaints personally, people only complain because it’s always hard to get used to changes to things you love (but get used to them you always do in the end...)
T/S The new I LOVE X is ready. vs. I don’t think anyone’s got any priveleges on anything yet—I certainly haven’t.

i’ve tried the “i’ve forgotten” link but that didn’t work either..
Check your hotmail spam folder. Fact checking cuz had a similar problem last night; when he double checked said folder the password mail was there.
hey this is a petty question, but what of moderator powers on the sub-boards? i am too lazy to reread, i remember there was noise about the fact that mods hadn’t really been fully installed at that point, i was just wondering if/when that would go back into place as well (if there is an ETA).
thanks ned, spam folder was set to autokill. the world shouldn’t miss out on my one post a week after all :)
Last I heard mod powers will start getting set over the weekend. They haven’t even been set up for ILE/ILM yet.
