stet/keith question or whoever is in charge of code these days

Getting a warning from browser when attempting to open pass/agg notes fyi

Gannsdeen.com the culprit iirc

gannsdone

Link?

I'll take a look, sleepingbag. For now, does typing / first help?

nah, typing / doesn't work. this isn't a big deal really i don't know why i asked :/ my forums experience is overall a+ great. i'd say don't sweat it unless it's literally like one-click easy. thank you!

I get poxy fule error when I post Twitter links in my phone's chrome browser. Don't get this on other devices.

Nevermind, figured it out. The Twitter app on my phone adds some extra characters to its tweet links that ILX doesn't like. Deleted them and post worked.

^ thanks for that, you've solved the same problem for me

i keep getting broken image links (firefox, linux, probably others) usually embeds from twitter and imgur. the src looks ok and the link works when clicked on but it doesn't show up inline.

here's one (twitter):

the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

here's another (imgur):

bear say hi to me

the bear say hi to me imgur link posted by latham green is broken just because it points to an imgur album rather than an individual imgur image

let's see...

https://i.imgur.com/l1tmlJP.jpg

(not sure i did that the way normal people do imgur pics)

that should be the standard ilx “server is down bear with us” page

ilx it, pursued by a bear

why does the site show up as "Not Secure" in the searchbar? Using Chrome btw.

oh, it's not any more.

It'll do that if you visit a page which has an image posted that is hosted on an http site

ah, i see.

this has probably been asked 000's of times but...

what order are my bookmarks in? it seems so random.

I'm afraid it was over ten years ago I did it and I can't remember. My immediate reaction was that it would be coming out just exactly as it's stored in the database, but that's ordered by message board and then by the thread ID (just in order of the thread age), but they're not showing like that, so not sure. I could go back and look at the code, but if it's okay with you C, I can't be arsed at the moment.

UPDATE: I have just been arsed, and it gets the stuff from the database, which would be ordered by message board, but it then sticks them in to a hash table, which means that it's pretty much indeterminate what order they will be read out from.

If I'd stuck them in a list, rather than a hash table, then they would have come out in the same order as the database. It's that it is a hash table that makes it pretty much random. Can't remember why I did it that way, but there was most likely a reason, just lost in the mists of time and I really can't be arsed going and figured out why.

linkedhashmap would work, eh

so much arsing

haha! thanks Keith! Now I can forget about it rather than trying to make sense of it.

I’ve done the exact same thing in programming tbh

Yes, a LinkedHashMap would have done it, I guess, if I'd thought about ordering at all at the time, although I would also have had to beam eight years forward in time to bring it back to 2006 when I wrote it.

Keith otm

hmm yes true

i'm having problems posting to the weinstein thread - did i get threadbanned or... ?

so for awhile now i've been getting poxy fuled anytime i click on a link in a thread to another message or thread on ILX. specifically it takes me to a poxy fule page where i'm no longer logged in.

any idea why this might be occurring? i was going to try to clear my history and cache or w/e but preferred not to if i could avoid it.

ilxor.com / www.ilxor.com?

that did it -- Andrew you're a lifesaver

Sorry for downtime; back now

as always thanks for the work stet

^^^^ many thanks

Stet=best

Yer a star. The absence made my heart grow fonder as I realised how this place was the only thing keeping me sane on dull Fridays at work.

thank you stet

blessig u stet

thanks, stet

is there still a sandbox or a version thereof for when this happens?

who da man? stet da man!

if there was a prize for most times you fruitlessly went to ilxor.com AGAIN during the outage from sheer muscle memory i think i would win it

There is a sandbox, but it's hosted on the same box for cheapness reasons so it went down too. I did eventually remember to post a note at status.ilxor.com tho

I kiss you stet

PLZ TO MAINTAIN 5 NINES AVAILABILITY

has the fiddly bit that brings you to the first unread post in a previously visited thread broke

its been opening threads a good few pages up for me the past few days

also the little blobs that let you choose when voting in a poll have vanished for me (in chrome)

this doesn't matter as polls are bad (and you should feel bad) but they're also not working in the search function when you choose thread or post

great another non voter lecturing us

if polls improved ilx they'd be illegal

little blobs still not visible

is it bcz i upgraded to macOS MOHAVE on monday in which case may 'oumuamua return and rain death on us all
