ILX 2.2

keith knows how to make a ddos less trivial!

I will give props in tallinn next week

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)

Hah, that's exactly what I was looking for too.

YES ME TOO LINK?

(looking at it logs you out of here though, bah)

thanks!

BYEEEE

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

er, the data involved eat up a lot of server space, that is

so many punchlines are lost by having the registered name instead of the joke email showing on old threads

guys, we have auto-jagger googleproofing, let's cut some slack

wait do we really

Type his name and see what happens.

Ned this is the week of walloginas.jpeg.

I trust no one.

MODS PLEASE GOOGLEPROOF L0u1s J@gger BY USING WALLOGINAS

Check out a recent build and STFU already.

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?

And can we have the random button back please?

i would like a cornetto.

mmm, sticky moon...

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).

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?

the bookmarks are a decent enough replacement for that, surely?

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)?

What are the chances of the RSS feed for new answers coming back?

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?

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?

Posting from another site you mean? No. Just ilxor.com. At home, this works on my Mac -- but not on my XP machine.

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.

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...

Wonder if his ISP is rewriting refers which would be mental. Also this -- http://www.eff.org/testyourisp/switzerland

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.

GET RID OF TRACKMENOT

What does that mean, Tom?

We're going to have animated avatars, I just know it.

Tom wants him uninstall the bugmenot extension

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.

lol Keith you have to reach back in your memories
or click on the red bar and ctrl+f "referrer" etc

Let's see if this works...

Yay -- it was the Symantec firewall.

Wow, so it must've been stripping out the referer. What a cheeky monkey.

Is it an SGS?

While we're at it, I've noticed this bug in ILX: when I accidentally mistype the BBcode, the site is nice enough to tell me I've mistyped the code, and gives me the chance to correct it. But when I do that and try to repost what I've written, I always get an error message and the post doesn't go through, even though the BBcode is now corrected. This happens with both IE and Firefox.

The error message is like this:

HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message Access to the requested resource has been denied

description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.

yeah i get that a lot as wel
