I just changed over to a Mac and now I can't open ILM on it (I am writing from work). Anyone have any ideas (non-sarcastic responses appreciated!)? Thanks in advance

Is it only ILM and no other board/page on the whole of ILXOR.com? (preferences, new question, e.g.)

I use Mac at home (and via iPhone) without a problem -- maybe it's just the browser? What do you use?

- try another stylesheet? (Preferences -> I want to change the way ILX looks)
- does Site New Answers work? (if it doesn't either, then I'm very wildly guessing that your browser misses some kind of translation thingy for plaxico's unicode/wingdings/symbol username)

Oh wait, there's no recent plaxico post on the Site New Answers page. (ignore that bit and try this ILM link from two weeks ago - that's ILM without plaxico's username. If that works, then my guess could be not as wrong as I fear)

I'm on a mac and I've had some weirdness (error messages etc.) with ilx over the past few days, fwiw

Yeah, not a problem for me either - I'm using Firefox but it works a-okay in Safari too.

Are you having problems with any other sites that you can tell? And what error message are you getting on the Mac when you try to go to ILM?

Me too -- no issues here, fwiw.

Thanks everybody, that's very nice of you. I can't remember the error message but I will note it tonight (yes, I am on Safari and no, no other problems with other sites)

iago g., Thursday, 27 August 2009 17:21 (sixteen years ago)

Don't remember my error messages either, sorry. I'll take screencaps if I get them again. (No errors on other sites. Firefox user.)

We've got some network connection problems at the moment, it might be that rather than the Mac. Are you on Verizon, btw?

Stet, I have some more possible info on this; check elsewhere

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 August 2009 17:34 (sixteen years ago)

Ned, this is very mysterious: "check elsewhere" ?

StanM, Thursday, 27 August 2009 18:07 (sixteen years ago)

Holy shit, the information is in my shirt pocket! How did you do that????

I have a set of penises leftover from some bach party somewhere (HI DERE), Thursday, 27 August 2009 18:11 (sixteen years ago)

Did you have to shuffle the penises aside?

dsl extreme

Nope

iago, would you mind opening a terminal and typing traceroute ilxor.com and pasting/emailing the result? Also it would help if I knew your IP address. Can you webmail/ email it to me stet @ ilxor.com.

Hi Stet, it works! Thanks for whatever you did...

iago g., Friday, 28 August 2009 09:36 (sixteen years ago)

thanks Stet! just got home and it's working fine now
