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.

i'm having problems posting to the weinstein thread - did i get threadbanned or... ?
― maura, Saturday, 5 May 2018 17:18 (five years ago) link
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.

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

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

which browser, mark? and which style sheet? (as in the 'I Want to Change the Way The Site Looks...' option in preferences)
― koogs, Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:44 (five years ago) link
(they are called 'radio buttons' btw, because they work the way old radios worked - you can only have one button pressed at a time)

browser chrome, style sheet new.css
(i choose to call them BLOBS bcz i am a poet and plus the only radio i ever loved had KNOBS aka DIALS, which you turned)
(also the BLOBS on the style sheet prefs page are in fact currently visible)

I was watching an Imagine episode about David Hockney making a stained glass window for Westminster Abbey and he was talking about how we all see things differently and why we do. It made me think of Mark's blobs.
― brokenshire (jed_), Friday, 9 November 2018 22:50 (five years ago) link
erm bloblessness this is still an issue for me, which makes the search function unuseable :(
― mark s, Monday, 12 November 2018 16:08 (five years ago) link
i've realised that i can check how mine looks because don't have a working chrome login
you could try changing the stylesheet from new.css to something else, see if that helps (because it sounds like a css problem and that'll change the css).
― koogs, Monday, 12 November 2018 16:13 (five years ago) link
i keep forgetting that style sheets exist
the idea that there are people out there viewing my handcrafted artisanal shitposts on anything other than new.css is... upsetting
― I hope your face & dick gets ripped off by chimapzai (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 12 November 2018 16:17 (five years ago) link
It's not a CSS issue, I don't think. They're not showing correctly across all style sheets. I'll take a look.
― stet, Monday, 12 November 2018 16:18 (five years ago) link
it's ok BG everyone skips them
― mark s, Monday, 12 November 2018 17:21 (five years ago) link
the idea that people read ILX on anything other than old.css is so profoundly unsettling that i literally can't dwell on it for longer than a few moments because otherwise i'd have to come to terms with the fact that people whose posts i know and cherish are actually living - indeed, have been living this whole time - in an uncouth sans-serif shadow dimension

― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 12 November 2018 19:21 (five years ago) link
yes but what he is also saying is that ilx-as-was was a serif font -- and i once knew this and had entirely forgotten and it's like redpill me now baby i want to see the matrix-vat i'm wallowing in for one brief terrible moment before the horrow overwhelms me
