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

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
― virginity simple (darraghmac), Friday, 31 March 2017 08:15 (seven years ago) link
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
― stet, Friday, 31 March 2017 11:44 (seven years ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Friday, 31 March 2017 14:27 (seven years ago) link
What happens if the underlined text isn't the first thing in the thread post?
― Rachel Luther Queen (DJP), Friday, 31 March 2017 15:13 (seven years ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Friday, 31 March 2017 15:25 (seven years ago) link
the upside is in this innovative new platform u can have the title in the middle of a post!
― lag∞n, Friday, 31 March 2017 15:26 (seven years ago) link
lol yes i just tested it and yes u cant put the title in the middle!

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?

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'm seeing banner ads for my local pizza place when logged in (on IE - it's at work)
― (±\ PLO;;;;;;; Style (sic), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 00:16 (seven years ago) link
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)
― progge went a-courtin' (unregistered), Friday, 14 April 2017 22:50 (seven years ago) link
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.
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Tuesday, 18 April 2017 00:42 (seven years ago) link
What does it break for you, in which browser? It has some right-to-left fun, but most modern browsers seem OK w/that
― stet, Tuesday, 18 April 2017 09:50 (seven years ago) link
ha well it doesn't break in a *browser* per se, oh would you look at the time
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Tuesday, 18 April 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link

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.
