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

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! 🤗

i've had to clear cookies a few times now. sort of kind of working i think? let's see if this posts.

You could in theory do it all with an xslt too lol xslt

ha

Test post from mobile.

nope, it didn't go through

I'm seeing banner ads for my local pizza place when logged in (on IE - it's at work)

oh shit, thanks for restoring the search function!

(now I'll just have to remember the 600 things of gross importance I intended to search for while the search function was down)

The banner ads thing should be fixed now; logout (and delete cookies) then log in again if still seeing them

Has anyone spotted anything odd with the new mobile CSS? I'm pretty happy with it but there could be corners of the site I don't use that still look a bit odd.

(The space on the left is slightly wider than the space on the right but not enough to be worth updating the CSS for on its own)

So in HTML Playground the most recently updated thread seems to break something? I'm afraid to even c+p the name. Unicode was a mistake.

What does it break for you, in which browser? It has some right-to-left fun, but most modern browsers seem OK w/that

ha well it doesn't break in a *browser* per se, oh would you look at the time

Oh! Well zing works

haven't heard of it

i'm good being un-emoji'ed whenever it's convenient

Oh god it's money time again isn't it? To the counting house

surprised we don't have an endowment yet tbrr

How I wish we had image upload

serious about the money? Can throw some sheckels in

I'm working (slowly) on image upload.

I need to do some sums on the money. Amazon has discontinued the type of server we're on, so I'll need to figure out what's next

am i wrong in saying that when you open the board up for donations, you make low expectation limits within 24 hours? Seems like we could aim a bit higher with no issues.

I have always appreciated that the site elders are justifiably cautious about golden goosism.

I will vote for DJP for Prez on the condition that he creates the Office of the Cookie Pimp

The real question on fundraising is whether they'll ever hand out gold stars again.

Neanderthal I think your post belonged on the Chapo Trap House thread but it works just fine here as well.

Stet, can you make it happen?
