ILX 2.2

I don't have a "preferences". I have a "options" (this is Firefox 2.0.0.4) but can't find where I'd need to change stuff.

On your ILX links at the top of this page:

Boards ILM New Answers New Question Logout Search FAQ Bookmarks Preferences More...

how do i get the ilxcss so as i can make pink comic sans ?

Write your own then send it to keef for upload. Or copy the current ILX one from your Internet cache and customise it then send it to keef for upload. Or get a Firefox plug in that allows you to use custom style sheets without sending them to keef.

oh im gonna send to keff alright

you get the stylesheet with all the divs marked here:

i'm working on one - Firefox only tho probably.

thx stet

All of them, so far:

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Stylesheets/simple.css

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Stylesheets/3270.css
http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Stylesheets/style.css
http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Stylesheets/black.css

Oh, and you have to keep the "Sponsored by" line at the top, and on the front page.

aye. in white on white.

No way! It's my favourite part of the site!

aye, the exit.

Haha

I like the new stylesheets. I like seeing who started a thread. I'm really enjoying seeing every new answer all at once instead of board-by-board. I was very skeptical before the adjustments were made, but now I'm seeing some definite improvement.

However,

annoys the fuck out of me. Cheers!

re: blank screen after posting thing: the computer that does this for me also seems to ignore the image size limiting thing...? is there a way to turn that off? meaning, if i like big images, can i still have them?

I don't understand that - you're saying your browser ignores image size limits, but you want to know if you can have big images... Are you not saying that this is what your browser does?

As for browser-specific things, I'm afraid there's precious little I can do to change how browsers behave... Here's the highly handy Microsoft response to the IE6 blank-screen-after-posting stuff:

Phoebe_MS (Expert):
Q: On a site I manage, pages with form submissions recently have been returning "blank pages" after hitting submit using IE 6. Only seems to happen during a form submission, not a link to a URL...
A: Have you changed any of your default settings in Toos | Internet Options...?

Phoebe_MS (Expert):
Q: oops sorry - What causes these blank pages and is there a work-around either client side or server side? The common link seems to be these forms use J(ava)script submit, and since it is a "packaged product" can't really change the code...
A: Have you switched to HTTPS form submission recently?

I like how the 'answer' in both instances, is another question. The second 'answer' seems to bear little relation to the question.

Hey, since the threads keep getting locked/deleted on Mod Request, can we just get a straight answer re:the lack of admin log? If it's impossible due to coding or something, then fine. It would just be nice to know.

And srsly, this isn't a veiled attack or lack of admin trust or anything.

I don't understand that - you're saying your browser ignores image size limits, but you want to know if you can have big images... Are you not saying that this is what your browser does?

sorry for not being clear.

I access ILX from two computers.

Computer A, used 98% of the time: limited img size, no blank screen after posting.

Computer B, used 2% of the time: the opposite.

I was using computer B for a few hours yesterday and noticed this.

also, John OTM. Admin Log was a much-appreciated feature in the past, similar to other features that were absent upon ILX 2.0's unveiling but have since been brought back. Just curious.

Computer A, used 98% of the time: limited img size, no blank screen after posting.

Computer B, used 2% of the time: the opposite.

add to that: viewing this thread, flags small on computer A, normal on computer B.

It's working great for me. LOVE IT. Thanks!!!

Keith, has there been tinkering since Sunday afternoon? I can still get in here at work, but at home both ILX and the Sandbox are timing out and can't connect.

Cache and cookies have been flushed, tried in both IE and Firefox.

Aldo, no... Nothing since Friday morning, and that was a tiny change. It's more likely to be something up with your ISP, I suspect.

I did have issues with them once before connecting to ILX (and only ILX) right enough, even though I could tracert the server. Hmm.

Hi dere I have a wee point re bookmarks. It's a handy feature and I use it for my regular/long/favourite threads but isn't the point of them to jump straight into a certain point and avoid loading the entire thread? Hitting the "confirm bookmark" button takes me back into the top of the bookmarked thread and loads the entire thing, which kind of defeats the purpose - not to mention taking ages on picture threads.

Bookmarking a thread means I'm finished reading that thread for the time being and will return to it later, so bookmarking should spit me out to New Answers.

Also, I see no need for a "confirm bookmark" step. If I accidentally click a link and bookmark a thread I don't want I can always delete it afterwards.

IBM, for example, notches a score of 346,742 bops with a four-socket, eight-core server running 16 software threads. That beat out the score of 217,334 bops set by a similarly configured Xeon-based ProLiant system from HP and a score of 158,174 set by an Itanium-based HP server.

YAAAAAOOOOOWWWW

WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN

IBM, however, did not do so well against lower-end x86-based systems. In fact, it still trails one-socket and two-socket Xeon-based systems from Dell even with the 4.7GHz heft.

Oh I don't actually care I just like sentences where six-digit numbers are followed by the word "bops", they make me chuckle

Bookmarking a thread means I'm finished reading that thread for the time being and will return to it later, so bookmarking should spit me out to New Answers.

That's easy enough...

The reason that is there is to prevent comedy tricksters attempting to use subversive means to fill up your bookmarks with rubbish. It has some security stuff built into it.

Ah ok, shame to miss out on comedy trickstering* and subversion all the same. Thanks for the response Keith.

*does comedy trickstering including editing drunked onimo posts? :-)

Why, do you want some edited?

* heh no that was me, you druken foo'

I shall refrain from mentioning fascism or Stalin or 1940s jackbooted stormtroopers. I ph34r your "unaccountability"!

Anyway, I'm sober, for the time being.

xpost stet you fascist nazi etc etc nazi!

i was coming on here just to post the link to the youtube of christopher guest calling everyone "bastard people" and saying he was quitting his position and going home to bite his pillow but the giant type distracted me.

14ft red letters seconded thx i am american

Brilliant. I was at home sick yesterday and was able to reach the server for about 3 hours before it started timing out again. :-(

Cannot post from lynx/links? ;_; Any other textmode nerds? Was hoping not to ILX up my local work browser.

Links says "7648596109056869822: Failed to insert message." (hope that number doesn't contain anything sensitive)
and lynx says "Alert!: HTTP/1.1 408 The time allowed for the login process has been exceeded." instantly, so it hasn't been allowing any time.

Yeah, yeah, get one 21st century browser, but I don't think I'm the only ilxor to use them, and they're not really that counter to the ILX Experience philosophy.

(I think they are up-to-datish versions but not my box so I'm not about to upgrade. Then again maybe I am just unlucky right now since I couldn't login from Opera at home on Mon)

...Sorry, I sounded a bit pissier than I intended, so, uh, thanks for all yr hard work. But does links and/or lynx access not work for anyone else, or is my setup just broken? If it could be fixed then I could slack a little less blatantly and that would be great.

so i feel it's time now that we be allowed to embed videos. what with all these youtubesque flash video sites with their made to embed video, the situation is so much more better than the bad old days of choicelessly starting quicktime/wmv movies.

also maybe it would be good when you hide admin view then images load - cause it's kind lame to not see images.

thx

errrrm ok i am getting this message when i try to post

ILX 2
7648596109056869822: Failed to insert message.

but only in firefox, works fine in opera and ie

suggestions?

I use Firefox all the time, no problems. What version of Firefox do you use?

2.0.0.4, i think thats the current one right?

i just tried it in safe mode and it works, sooooo what, it must be some sort of extension conflict? havent installed anything new for ages tho, certainly nothing since i last posted successfully.

can't think what it might be :(
