Oh yeah, and thanks Dan.

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

N.- Okay, if you say so. I'm too thin-skinned, which is probably why I don't post very often.

― Prude (Prude), Monday, 14 July 2003 14:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Moderator(s) currently around, could you just take away my last post on the dinner party thread? I was good-naturedly jesting with Ally, but now I'm worried if I offended her or anyone else and it's troubling my conscience. I don't want to throw any insinuations around here these days.

Thank you.

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 14 July 2003 16:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

seems a bit unnecessary since I A) already saw it B) don't particularly care??? WTF? Not offensive to me!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 14 July 2003 16:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ok then leave it there, I quite like my work, honestly. See if you can put it up a bit higher, maybe cast it over in bold. Easy on the typing - I spent a hell of a lot of time getting that fucking spelling right, what with my typo-frequency on here!! Oh, and you can put a few emphatic spaces in between some of the words if you want to. Just be CAREFUL!!!!

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 14 July 2003 16:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

the chuy loco posts viewed here and here strike me as vaguely racist, 'vaguely' cuz chuy doesn't quite seem to have his stereotypes down ("mang" and "joo" tend to be more stereotypical cuban). anyhow, fyi

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

james i think it makes more sense to call mr loco on this if you feel strongly (the subtlety is surely over the heads of all outlander mods anyway)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 08:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

eh, my vigilante days are over

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 08:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

and to be honest it might be more due to....wait for it...oversensitivity on my part

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 08:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pls can you delete the pic I just put on the 'Best Men' thread. I could see it earlier, but now I cant, but anyways, I don't mind pics of me on the net but, well u know. Cheers! Sorry to be a pain!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

link?

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

sure thing.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thanx, you're a star!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can you remove the name of the bar I suggested from this post.

Tiga at Bugged Out @ The End: Jul19

It's meant to be a secret.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am very star.

Ed, that whay you want or did I screw it up (I saved the text just in case)

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also this

Tiga at Bugged Out @ The End: Jul19

three posts above the original one

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

wtf?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

technically its a private members' bar but they play a little fast and loose with the terms private and members'.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is that right, then?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

perfect. Thanks

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Cool.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Private members bars aren't secret though.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes I think it should be in giant flashing letters on the front page with "(ED TOLD US)" in brackets.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

All must turn up there sporting hats emblazoned with this logo.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

In addition, pictures of Ed on the hats would make things clearer.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fake lustrous blonde dreadlocks emmanating from the back of the hats would make the look complete.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

An actual shout, not taking the piss out of Ed:

IT'S ON MY THREAD, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, EEEUUUWWW!!!

In Praise of Kate St. Clair

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

you wanted hatton wall deleted? i dont understand. i dont want to go if it is too good for the general public

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've been Sp00nered. I feel unclean. GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!!!

(If this were a 50's sitcom, I'd be perched on a chair holding my skirts and shrieking about a mouse running around the kitchen.)

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

What is going on with the code? At the bottom of the "Heavens! ILX is slow and frustrating ;)" thread there was an admin log of actions taken by Graham today.

I also tried posting something in another thread and it wouldn't let me, so I was wondering if the code is being messed with.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

The general public are welcome, the licenscing authorities are not.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Heavens! ILX is slow and frustrating ;)

Didn't we fix this problem?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

It doesn't check whether the message was already deleted or not, hence the duplicate if you reload or click back or something. I guess it wouldn't be that hard to fix.

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thats not the problem Graham, care to guess again?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

You're a cunt?

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh you mean me using my software backdoor to systematically oppress comments that aren't to my liking. Sorry about that.

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Graham is your address stil the same? I would like to send you a CD.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK, rather then drag this the fuck out, why are you still holding admin privledges?
This is SHOUTING-for-MODERATOR thread pt. III!! [derailed: go to thread IV]

Oh you mean me using my software backdoor to systematically oppress comments that aren't to my liking. Sorry about that.

I don't know you, I don't put it past you.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't know. The only way to remove them is from the database and I don't have a password for that any more.

(I posted a stupid message and removed it ten minutes later. No conspiracy. I was too busy trying to make everything work to have time for back doors. About the worst I can do is kill long searches, and that gets old pretty quick)

(No Ally, I'll email you)

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Please do Graham! :)

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

regarding graham's post to that thread about speeding ilx up: if certain administrative actions are a major factor then it would certainly help to request that the 4 million people with moderator privileges don't just use them in order to tidy up after themselves. I was looking around on the log page the other day and a surprising number of moderator actions involved changes to posts that the moderator in question made.

although I did this a few times myself when I was a moderator I must say, besides the extra load on the server this just does not seem that cool.

― Josh (Josh), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 20:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am am bad culprit of this (tidying up typos, making wording better immediately after posting, though not later cause that seems like cheating). I did not stop to think that it might slow down the server. I will stop.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 21:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Good show, old boy, have a slug.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes don't do that moderators, he says hypocritically. (I didn't do it much, actually, and certainly not for typos.)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 17 July 2003 07:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Just a question, are there some scheduled tasks on the server that occur between midnight and 3 aussie time, because that my explain the slowdown around this time. (and of course, the meeting off last hour of UK work, NYC lunchtime and just in the office westcoast)

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 17 July 2003 08:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ah crap, I'll stop too

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 17 July 2003 08:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

the long searches are the real pain, they accumulate, then they slow down the newanswers caching, and THAT then slows down all requests based on newanswers, so all these things snowball into a, er, logjam (can you snowball into a log jam, mm jam. paper jam is my favourite)

― Alan (Alan), Thursday, 17 July 2003 08:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are all searches long searches, or are there any tips for getting them quicker? Because it's not like the punters are crying out to be staring at a blank screen for minutes.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 17 July 2003 10:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

The more common the word and the more search terms you use, the longer the search. Try to think of one unusual word that appeared/might have appeared in the thread you're after, if possible.
