This pissing and moaning is hilarious, dudes! Keep it up!
CJ, just FYI: when my login was failing repeatedly it was because I was putting my screen-name in the field instead of the email address as requested.
when you get banned it should have a huge ;_; and say like u banned! or something.
Well, that was one of the reasons, anyway. But the other one was ALSO my own fault.
guys jhoshea is otm
this board is full of whiners
in the meantime i will produce a serious magick greasemonkey thing for this but i need only ONE (one) feature request—allow new answers and actual thread pages to display post times and dates as absolutes (or even absolutes relative to current user time) as opposed to relative (i.e. “2 minutes ago”). Alternately, I note that msgs in each thread are given a messageid relative just to that thread — plz to also display (in a hidden html element even, like, uh, a hidden form element maybe, or in the “name” attribute of the anchor links) in the new answers page, the msg id of the last post in each thread.
Should be relatively low overhead and it will let me script up a quick user-side “unread answers” functionality (which will be coupled with user-side “#unread” functionality too!)
also yeah i will make a greasemonkey stylesheet thing to make this look super like the old ilx.
I am ip banned and cannot register an account on any email or even reach a login form. Have fun with a boring board with shitty code, lying nazi admins and ugly fonts! PEACE
Jon, isn’t this ironic? Don’t you think?
i accidentally s=typed my email address wrong and had to settle for jh0shea in the do over.
and while we’re making suggestions you should make it so everyone can change their names all the time cause thats one of the fun things.
Sterling stop being constructive you fucking hack!
UH, no, you paypalled it so we could buy a server after Andrew took his old one away
Wait—wasn’t that one funded by ILDonations?
the def of “ready” is even more elusive than “a couple of days” ’round here
jon it is just the internets, be cool
ha look i made a typo when i was talking abt the typo i made before
I found Jon’s choice of hack banning quite amusing but must say the irony of his banning is even better.
also can you add “unasked questions” next to unanswered questions? That way I know what we haven’t talked about yet.
Jon, none of those things are true. I’ve unbanned hstencil jr to be certain.
DONT WORRY HES FROM THE IT DEPARTMENT /cat.jpg
I still don’t understand why Jon insists on fucking with the admins and/or doesn’t just set up his own noize board elsewhere free from Britishes interference. Obviously he’s capable of doing so.
he’d like you to think so
it seems more obvious to me that he’s quite clearly incapable of that
sandbox noize board now locked?? ;_;
NEW FONT
WE BANNED
can we put my ilx meme collage on the home page and add a new board where we can discuss suggested additions plz
oh noes i think i saw a tear on the ground. hope you are going to be ok everyone!!!
maybe those that don’t make it through, could stay back here in the sandbox.
im sure it’ll all work out for you guys in the end though. i’ll be thinking of you!
not really
hstencil was banned?!? :(
xp to myself
Thanks for the help, Laurel, but I’m still getting this error message :
ILX 2
An error has occurred; please try again shortly.
ok, I overreacted.
i just tried to register & it wouldnt let me
fuck this
haha xpost
Ok, I guess I’m not banned despite not being able to register accounts on my domain or my employers domain and all the banned messages? This is a little weird though.
ok, I overreacted.

So secure that 50% of people can’t login!
I can login now, I forgot I wasn’t using my new password.
Does mean the Bambi on Ice show is over? :(
It’s rather impossible to intuit what to enter here on Login page—
User Name (email address):
New board has un-American style of showing dates!
U SHOULD PUT THE ROUND PARENTHESIS BACK INSTEAD OF THE SQUARE BRACKETS (((((]]]]]]] AROUND THE THREAD INFO
[haha im just funning w/u]
Oh, it’s fucking sendmail choking. Some passwords might take a while to arrive.
Also, we can’t changes display names? I don’t want to be hstencil junior.
Morb, it’s not if you read the registration page, & made note of the bit where it said your e-mail address IS your logon name. It’s not flashing in neon or wearing pasties, but it’s there.
I need neon pasties, bub
It’s not flashing in neon or wearing pasties, but it’s there.
then why would he have seen it?
xpost- see?
what am i doing wrong?
I don’t want to be hstencil junior.
SELF INFLICTED WOUND
OK WHICH LOGIN LINK AIN’T BROKEN
Rick, temporarily, this is running on port 8080, and it’s likely that your firewall isn’t letting it through...
CJ—are you going to the right URL? The old ones won’t work:
BEST THREAD EVAR!!!!
Morb, it’s not if you read the registration page, & made note of the bit where it said your e-mail address IS your logon name. It’s not flashing in neon or wearing pasties, but it’s there.
Morbs does have a point in that its bad UI design. It’s like clicking on “Start” to shut down your computer, or having a field label that reads “City (Zip Code):”.
Is it just me or is the linespacing a bit much?
my firewall let me go to ilxor.com all the time before nuILX.
kingfish otm. i finally managed to find some working links though
any chance of getting the urls canonicalized to just ilxor.com¿
password change page does not * out pword
Y IZ NOIZE BOARD LOCKED?
My main problem with nu-ILX is that everything is too spaced out. You can only see like 10 threads on New Answers at a time because there’s a bunch of space between each one. And then within the thread, there’s too much space above and below the horizontal line between each post (the line itself is too long, besides). I’m trying not to complain just because it’s different, but it has the effect of making my eyes hurt, for real. I guess I just don’t understand why it can’t look exactly like ILX used to look. At this point, there are no significant advantages that nu-ILX has that would make me want to abandon the sandbox.
i turned my firewall off and still can’t connect.

Well as has been stated, this is a work in progress and right now I believe it’s all about functionality, not presentation.
xp The sandbox functions just fine.
xpost Ms Misery OTM
xp The sandbox functions just fine.
You might think that. I’m down in its cogs with the grease :(
xxpost, it’s already been mentioned why the sandbox is temporary and why it will eventually break like old ilx.
IM SURE ALL THAT SPACING STUFF WILL BE WORKED OUT NP ITS THE NAME CHANGING THAT NEEDS ADDRESSING
NEEDS TO BE LIKE NOW WHERE U CAN CHANGE YR DISPLAY NAME BUT ALSO PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE TO SHOW YR LOGIN BUT THOSE WHO DONT KNOW ABT THAT PART GET CONFUSED AND ARE ALL WTF IS GOIN ON HERE AND THEN YOU GIGGLE CAUSE UR L33T
Well as has been stated, this is a work in progress and right now I believe it’s all about functionality, not presentation
as has been stated, it’s not functioning for a lot of people.
No probs with functionality on my end, I just ain’t switching yet til the layout/spacing is tweaked/reduced.

When did Old ILX break? I thought it was taken down because of Jon’s antics.
xp The sandbox functions just fine.

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.
it broke like everyday u poxy fule
xp
Not lately.
John, don’t argue about computer things, you’re going to lose.
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.
ooh there’s pretty blue stuff when u quote sum1??
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.
I thought when ILX came back at the beginning of January, that WAS Nu-ILX. (Fair point, Dan.)
been waiting 10 minutes + for my password email
anyway NICE WORK stet et al, thx much.
the spacing and the username stuff has to go back the way it was tho, srsly
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.
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!
another great reason to register
Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen. I’m looking forward to getting used to it...

Ha—slip on my part, confusing Martian w/ Morbius. SQUEEE
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 ;_;.
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.
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.
so as we can bitch abt it duh
xp
DON’T ASK QUESTIONS JOHN.
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.
