Thanks guys.

Haha! "Track me not"!.. Yes, that will fuck it up properly. ILX checks your referrer to see if you're coming from one of the three legal URLs.

Top one, Keith!

Are the Sandbox threads not integrated with all the others? I was futilely searching for a thread until I realized it was on the Sandbox, and found it there instead.

No they're not, but I spent a very pleasant couple of hours trawling through all threads there (I was trying to find the ILX reaction to Catherine Tate in Doctor Who the first time round). Seconded for any request to move them over here (I can't remember if that was possible or not)
― ailsa, Saturday, 7 July 2007 08:28 (sixteen years ago) link
Hah, that's exactly what I was looking for too.
― The Yellow Kid, Saturday, 7 July 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
YES ME TOO LINK?

can we get back all date-related searches ordered by board then date? searching for all threads last changed on a given day or started in a given month brings back results for all boards which is too much information (have to filter out the 90% of boards you know are wrong)

We REALLY REALLY need changeable screen names back. I don't care what it takes, or even if it's not possible, but we need it anyway.

Mods and admins, remind me again about changeable screen names. Is it impossible, or just difficult? It's the best feature of old-ILX that we don't have anymore. Bring it back!

I think the thing is that it eats up a lot of data
― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 4 August 2007 01:41 (sixteen years ago) link
er, the data involved eat up a lot of server space, that is
― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 4 August 2007 01:42 (sixteen years ago) link
so many punchlines are lost by having the registered name instead of the joke email showing on old threads

Can we have the "later" link back, so we can leave a thread without finishing it and still come back to where we left off?

Another request: since I usually check out ILX first thing I do when I get up (such is the responsibilities of a board mod) and before I go to work, I demand a button that makes me a nice cup of tea (black with two sugars).
― King Boy Pato, Saturday, 4 August 2007 12:30 (sixteen years ago) link
the bookmarks are a decent enough replacement for that, surely?
― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 5 August 2007 22:59 (sixteen years ago) link
doesn't it jump to the last post you loaded when you click back on the thread anyway (as long as you're already logged in)?

Revive! I'm still having this problem w the "7648596109056869822: Failed To Insert Message" bug. I'm getting this in Firefox 2 and 3 and IE. The above-suggestion about nuking cookies didn't work.
Has anyone else figured this out?
― Naive Teen Idol, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:04 (fifteen years ago) link
That's it checking the referrer and finding that when you post a message, that the post request doesn't come from www.ilxor.com. Are you coming in from a different URL?
― Keith, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Posting from another site you mean? No. Just ilxor.com. At home, this works on my Mac -- but not on my XP machine.
― Naive Teen Idol, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, it would fail if the request looks as though it doesn't come from there. I dunno about all these browser plugins you can get that do funny stuff, or something that might actually remove the referer HTTP header before you post (some sort of super-paranoid security plugin, perhaps) that would cause this problem.
― Keith, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:17 (fifteen years ago) link
All I have is Foxmarks and adblock -- and turning them off does nothing...
Again, I also get this problem on IE, so I wonder what's going on...
― Naive Teen Idol, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Wonder if his ISP is rewriting refers which would be mental. Also this -- http://www.eff.org/testyourisp/switzerland
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Wouldn't expect so if the Mac is working and it's using the same ISP.
NTI, I can't really say much more on the grounds that I've no idea what's going on, on your computer. Maybe your firewall does something perhaps? It doesn't seem browser specific, but it is only happening on Windows, so that might be a guess. Try turning the firewall off for a bit and have a go.
Other than that, I don't know. Literally, all it does, is look for an HTTP header called "referer" and throws that error if it doesn't find it, or finds it and it's set to something other than www.ilxor.com, to reduce the likelihood of submissions of forms from anywhere.
Whatever's happening on your machine is either removing, or changing what's in that header, but I've no idea why or how.

I just looked at RetailMeNot and it actually looks like it doesn't call out remotely -- it keeps a copy of the site's db locally.
