Any chance of making the pic on this thread here: Black Nasty: C/D? into a link?

I flagged the subject line instead. Though admittedly it's pretty dumb and may be a good candidate for outright deletion.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 03:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Delete the fucker. Delete all hipster dorks while you're at it.

doomie?!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 04:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

ah good times

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 04:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

i've fixed the editadmin problem. sorry about that -- don't know when that sneaked in.

I also added the ILF admins asked for.

If you send me e-mail usign ILX's webmail link (registered users only) it comes to my private address here at work -- if you use the yahoo one, I don't check that so much. I'll check it more often now though (naughty me).

i've fixed the editadmin problem. sorry about that -- don't know when that sneaked in.

Is that the one I was mentioning, Alan? Because I just tried to edit the same message I had in mind when I made the observation above:
http://www.ilxor.com/adminmsg.php?msgid=3524154
and it gave me the same problem. Maybe I'll try logging out and then back in to see if that fixes anything at this end.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 13:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Nope, no dice. It just sits there, witless, after clicking the "submit" button on the admin msg page.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 13:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, sorry, that was a correction to the code/page to give admin priveleges out.

Editing that post worked fine for me here (I added some text, then removed it) -- I can't see what the problem might be. Other mods having problems? (If so I'd better make myself a regular admin login to check)

I could edit the post for you, but I'd rather fix the problem of course

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Let me download another type of browser to see if it's strictly an IE issue for me. I know that it's probably nothing to do with the message ITSELF, because I tried editing another message once upon an age to fix up some table-tag wonkiness, and got the same problem; Noodles was able to log on and zap the bugs without problem (I think).

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 13:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Worked in Opera. Huh.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

tada. thanks. name and shame that browser.

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 14:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could some kind moderator delete my two latest failed attempts at posting a picture on the punk as fuck thread for pictures? I fucked up posting an image twice till I finally got it... actually the first time I've posted an image on here, so it took a couple tries

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 15:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Done.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 18:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

So, if I change my name on ILX but keep my email address and my login name, will I lose my stats? I don't want my statscock to go flaccid.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 18:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think they stay with the login, Nick.

I've always wanted the ability to read threads in a "paged" mode, so that very long threads can be read (e.g.) 50 at a time, with links to each page of 50, and a "Next" and "Prev". Anyone else?

It just occurred to me that this might also aid the ever lengthening threads like this one and the pic of yourself/what you listening to style threads.

I should juse get on with commenting and tidying before I start messing around, huh?

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 11:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think the paged mode idea is a good one, but what do I know?

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 11:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think it's a GREAT idea and I'm really smart

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 12:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

fair enough.

So what caused the server to run out of virtual memory, blah, blah, for about an hour there?

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 12:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

How much physical memory does the machine already have, does it have any slots free and what type of memory does it take?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

seems to have 256M physical memory,of which usually only 2 to 5 is free.
Only 14M of a 256M swap file is being used. hard disk space is no problem. Andrew is the one that knows the ins and outs of the actual hardware though.

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 14:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd be willing to donate some RAM if it'll help and if I have the appropriate type. BOX OWNAZ REPRAZENT

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 15:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Man, I'd be willing to do anything to get the hamsters on the treadmill running a little faster around here.

Is there a PayPal fund that could be set up or something?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 17:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Help! I just accidentally killed my 12-step anonymity on the "quitting heroin, how" thread: I used an anonymous name and email (as below) but forgot to log out, so my real log-in name is there grinning at everyone. Could you kill the log-in name and keep the post? Or if that's not possible, kill it all. And you'll definitely need to kill the post that I followed it up with, where I go "Damn, I just killed my anonymity." In any event, anonymity here is required, not so much for my protection but to protect the 12-step group from people like me being perceived as spokesmen for it in the public eye.

(I emailed Jess and Tracer, but if someone else sees this first, please take care of it.)

Lots of thanks.

― Atheist, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Which post? I can't find one.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Someone just took care of it. Many thanks. (Though I was expecting to enjoy my brief notoriety.)

― Atheist, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can I draw attention to the "I Hate America" board? It looks like its been set up by Sean M Hall, the serious megatroll that hounds AAD from time to time. He had apparently been unable to get on ilX for a while (he claims his IP was banned) but has found a new account and is back with us again.

Can we blast him quick this time?

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey there
I seem to be unable to moderate in a recent version of IE. Just hangs as per Sean's description above.

In other news, I'd help you if I could Lynskey.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Correction, was just a very slow response.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

(I was the one who fixed the forgot-to-logout problem on the heroin thread.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone add a not-safe-for-work note on the Sarah Silverman thread?

― amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 8 May 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

more Sean M. Hall shenanigans, as noted above. destroy please

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 8 May 2003 21:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Please, remeber if you link a thread/post here, we can destroy them quicker folks. To link a post you may have to click on show all details at the bottom left of the page.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 9 May 2003 00:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm not clear what your problem is with this, Lynskey? It may be the same person you mention, but I'm not sure we should be taking action on that basis - is there anything intolerable on the board yet?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd love to help you Lynskey but the usual gang here doesn't hold sway over that board. Gotta go right to the top on this one.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

do we want to delete that board then? i've sort of banned SMH's new login

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

i mean, i don't see anything wrong with the messages there. though i don't know what a board with that name might attract

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Only seen faux Ally postings myself.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think posing as another poster is a trigger for whatever big gun you want to pull out, Alang. To mix two different firearm metaphors.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

agreed, particularly considering the histories involved here (mr. hall and various ally stalkers)

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wait a second, where is someone posting as me?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

on the 'me no likey ammurrica' board

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's really fucking it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ally, is garancey80@yahoo.com one of your e-mail addresses?

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

it is similar to one of her old ones

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

why was that board started in the first place?

― hstencil, Friday, 9 May 2003 15:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

it was a sean m. hall ' fear me geekery' board

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

hence calls for deletion of said board

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:51 (twenty-one years ago) link
