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

Stetlock Holiday

so that's a "post new question is down" for everybody then?

I can click on it and that screen comes up. Haven't tried actually posting yet. Does it say TURN BACK YOU POXY FULE when you do so?

yep

Okay. I am about to try, before you can say...

Turn Back You Poxy Fule

An error has occurred; please try again shortly

this is a feature, not a bug. ILX is now sentient and has to pre-approve new threads

so now you can't make regular threads, but you can make polls

what a nightmare

SAD!

no new threads are needed

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Oh mother, I can feel the POLLS falling over my head

Ilx is dead

Long live ilx

Oops! Sorry. Works now.

thank you!

gracias

is there any way to not get these video ads even while logged in? They keep crashing my browser

When you're seeing the ads, can you try opening the Preferences page and let me know if it comes up normally?

yes, it seems to come up normally

https doesn't load stylesheet?

Would the mobile.css be coming any time soon?

Not till I get back from holiday next week. Buy Zing.

Tombot: does for me, any browser unusualness?

yes massive browser unusualness since I posted that. having a great internet day over here in fact.

Since my https://badssl.com/ results are very different (and worse) on this machine than they were last week, I'm going to go ahead and assume my office is fucking with the middlebox

install the Stylish add-on to firefox and add the following css file

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/mobile.css

but i think it will be applied everywhere (see above for the changes)

hi stet - ive been working on a silly project, its a blog that uses an ilx thread as its backend, im almost finished with it, just wanted to make sure it was cool with you, i was planning on releasing it into the wild in case anyone else wants to use it, which im sure they wont

its just a lil ruby script that scrapes a thread once an hour then tweaks it into blog form, i cn show u the c0de if u want

anyway let me know if that sounds ok with you

Which thread

Is it the rolling admin log o_O

Seems OK as an idea though. You could in theory do it all with an xslt too lol xslt

cool ha, its gonna require a new thread, u cant just use it on any existing thread cause i made it so a post with underlined text by the thread starter is what makes a new blog post, then the rest of the posts are comments, dont think theres anyway to really make that distinction besides putting something specific in the post, unless u wanted every post by the thread starter to be a new blog post, been testing it w this thread the most advanced blogging platform i have the main scraping/output functionality done i think but still have to do the css/scheduling/etc

What happens if the underlined text isn't the first thing in the thread post?

still a new blog post, i thought abt making it only work if it was the first thing but then decided to be lazy and say only use the <u> if u want a new blog post, might clean that up at some point idk

the upside is in this innovative new platform u can have the title in the middle of a post!

lol yes i just tested it and yes u cant put the title in the middle!

lately i can't start threads on web ilx, can't post on zing, can't search (even My Recent Posts, which had worked while search was down)

anything i can do about any of these?

Ur fpd

ilx is slowly breaking

save the women and children first!

can someone write a simple script that flagposts everyone in a thread

flagpoll

Test

Right. Stet/keith or whoever is in charge of code these days, i am unable to post or logout when not on zing. Poxy fule issues. Help?

This is why we have code freezes on Fridays...

test?

okay, just needed to clear cookies apparently.

forks did clearing cookies help you?

mobile.css now available

hmm pressing "preferences" when logged in just takes me to the login screen

A lot of these are the same bug -- the "remember me" hack is isn't quite working well. Try hitting "Site New Answers" and trying again

worked! 🤗
