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.
S.O.B.
(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.
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 emailed you as well.
Love,

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.
hahahaha jw otm
because Jon left us no choice?
omg
jon i need the lolcuetest of borg pic—where to find??!

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.

2 things:
indentation w/ bullet points = suck
lack of “—” before user names = suck
Fix these 2 things and I bet everyone will be happy with the design.
can someone look into why i can’t seem to get a password sent?
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.
Oliver, your hotcakes are ready!
