ILX 2.2

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

Anyway, great stuff keith, thanks!

This is a bug. It may be fixed some time.

Nice to meet you on Sunday, Tracer. Sorry I didn't get more of a chance to chat. I stupidly thought that it would get quieter, later! Some other time.

Only recently noticed the tidy little AJAX. It's so subtle! Awesome!

Yeah, I looked around for you but it was kinda.. crazy.

Yeah, it was a great laugh. Saw loads of people I haven't seen for ages.

Fields of salmon... Waht? There is no AJAX... This site is guaranteed pure Windows 3.1 shit.

Enh? But now when you post a comment it doesn't redraw the entire page! How does that work.

It does... It just does it really quickly!

Waht? There is no AJAX... This site is guaranteed pure Windows 3.1 shit.
Ahem "convert simple HTML to BBcode" cough cough we up to date with all modern techniques and that

That's more like SJA, but yes, it is certainly Javascript.

Though Javascript's really up there with Windows 3.1 shit I suppose.

Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, but if I look at this poll thread:
PIXIES Poll: The best track on Trompe le Monde
with images turned off in my ILX preferences, the first post just appears like this:

http://i36.tinypic.com/280tvua.jpg, Monday, 15 December 2008 01:55 (3 days ago) Bookmark

all on one line, so the text before the image, the poll options list and the post attribution have all disappeared. Thought I'd raise it here in case any other polls-with-images are also broken.

(Also I was logged out when I first clicked on an option to vote, and after the login page I got some kind of error message which I've now lost which basically told me there was an unspecified error and try again in a minute, but I don't know if this is related or if I did something else wrong. Might've typed my password wrong, I often type my old ILX password in by mistake still)

(PS I'm using a slightly old version of Opera on XP, if that's of any relevance, but I've viewed source and the missing stuff really is missing, not just been eaten by an unclosed tag or anything)

It's the same with me: I have images turned of, and the first post is totally invisible, I see only the same thing as Spacecadet. I'm at work, so I'm using IE.

These polls both have images in the starting thread and still work for me with Show Images off, so I've no idea what the problem with the Pixies one is.

everybody has their own opinion: the jane's addiction NOTHING'S SHOCKING poll
jay reatard matador singles '08

Can't find anything else of the form [internal ILX link, text, image, poll] like the Pixies poll yet so maybe it's something about that combination which does it.

I'd suggest starting a thread on the mod request forum or something about this.

Will do, thanks. Wasn't sure if it was just "please edit this, thanks" requests there but now I see there are some other code/bug-related queries too.
