If my 1 SB is older than a week, read the 9/11 conspiracies thread and KNOW that SB is busted.

there have been 14 SB's posted in the last 24 hours, so i am pretty sure that the sb function is still working. obv we need to make sure by poking around under the hood, but i'll leave that to someone that knows what all those wires under there actually do.
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
and obv i dont know exactly when yer sbs were posted, but most of the people asking about them have some that have showed up recently, so i dont think anything is out of order - def think that (as king of the stupid and overlong username) the length of yer username can cause problems. for a final test if each of you want to pick someone to test the sb on (note: not someone you may have sbed before) and tell me who it is in this thread, i will verify that it went through and then remove the sb right away.

or to make things easier, sb me or John

i'll sb NV- just make sure that the test i did on HI DERE is removed too?

I just test SB'd Three Word Username at 16:20 british time which makes it 15:20 by my ILX time. Got the odd blank screen again.
I am quite certain that I've never SB'd them before and they said they only had 1 SB so it should be easy to tell if my SB showed up or not. (if it has, go ahead and remove it.)
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link
I just sb'd jjjusten at 11:21 EST. It seemed to work okay.
― Riverside (kkvgz), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I just did one too and I think it worked fine.
― master of retardment (ENBB), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
From what I'm seeing, the blank screen means it hasn't gone through.
The last sb I see fro KDT is timed one week ago. I don't see any from NV or darraghmac.
I think it's a software bug but, as I said before, I can't dig into the back end plus I um really should be doing rl work so I can't do more than surface-testing here.
― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
OK, it's definitely not working for me then because that one should have gone through.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:28 (thirteen years ago) link
ok kkvgz and enbb, both of yours went through. do you want to keep them or should i 86 them?
darraghmac, can you take the comma out of your username and try again?
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:28 (thirteen years ago) link
or display name, whatever. also KDT, maybe try it again w/the username w/o punctuation in it?

SB'd Three Word Username again at 15:30 ILX time from a different user name and a different browser as well, but I still got the blank screen.

JJ - you can remove the one I did.
― master of retardment (ENBB), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link
sorry kkvgz i just don't like yr face i guess.
blank screen is the result

jjjusten, please delete.
― Riverside (kkvgz), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link
ok, lets give the system an hour or so to kind of catch up and see what turns up. its definitely working for some people? i am confused.
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:42 (thirteen years ago) link
so what you're saying there's a one hour sb amnesty where i can troll dmac w/o consequences?
― caek, Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Given that kkvgz did one at 11:21 EST that was showing at 28 past, there is no time lag.
Some of them are working and some of them are not. If you go back to the thread, or back to the top of ILX, it is working for you. If you get a weird blank page with the URL http://www.ilxor.com/ILX//VoteForBanControllerServlet then your SBs do not show up.
I have just attempted to SB caek at 15:48 and I am sure that one will not turn up either.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:47 (thirteen years ago) link
sbed you for that
― caek, Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:48 (thirteen years ago) link
The easiest way to test this without SB-ing random people left and right is to attempt to send a webmail, as it generates the same blank page and fail, as NV's email to me has not shown up over an hour later, and Dan's and Stet's turned up immediately.
Fairly certain it's not browser related as I've tried from 3 different browsers now.
Please can you remove caek's SB from me as that's not fair. Obviously my test SBs are not working, so I should not be retaliation penalised for them.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:50 (thirteen years ago) link
caek was joking, as far as I can tell (or else someone else is super-speedy at zapping sbs)
― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah my request to give the system time to catch up is partially an attempt to see if there are other anomalises going on here - obv the sb is not working quite the right/same way for everyone, so the reporting of sbs might not be either.
also until someone with access to the code shows up, all i can do is report that the majority of sbs seem to be working, so im not sure were going to get much done until then.
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
my sb function has been down for months, so tbh i'd be happier were i cleared of all received in the past while.
― illiterate mods are killing ilx (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
also one just appeared from 13 minutes ago (not any of the people in question here tho) so there is some amount of time lag, at least at times. xpost
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
see, if we had a suggest ban log this would all be cleared up and there'd be no problems
― illiterate mods are killing ilx (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:01 (thirteen years ago) link
hey if this means that my votes weren't counting in polls, do we get to re-run them
― illiterate mods are killing ilx (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:06 (thirteen years ago) link
hey dude, can you sb me as a second test? i think i want to try and track this a different way.
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:08 (thirteen years ago) link
be gentle
I don't get a blank screen for polls, though, do you?
I'm gonna go back and revote in one I've already voted in just to check, because if it that isn't working, it should let me vote again, and if isn't, it'll tell me I've already voted and can't vote again.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Polls are working just fine. Phew.
actually if you could go ahead and also sb me that would help as well
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link
SB'd JJJusten at 16:10 did that turn up?
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link
sb'd jj, no confirmation screen
i think i used to get one, or at least i used to get returned to SNA page or w/e, but as i say it's been months now since i started getting the blanks.
― illiterate mods are killing ilx (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:11 (thirteen years ago) link
ok, so numerically i show more sbs than actually appear on my sb page, so it is possible that your sbs are showing up but not being tracked immediately?
which is a small consolation, and maybe inaccurate, but viewed in the right light is kind of like having superpowers.
― Gerard Depardeauxnt (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:13 (thirteen years ago) link
sb'd jj, felt great

Check Caek and Three Word Username and see if there's the same disparity with their numbers?

ok caek, your sb went through right away. IT IS A MYSTERY

how bout sbans over several accounts etc, is that all still being totted up etc. you dudes are slacking imo. and have you considered my groundbreaking suggestion of adding sock sb's to the host poster
