Site code

Unter den UebrigenSite code
I recently revamped some code for the site from the ground up; the net effect should be more efficient page-loads and a pleasant overall experience.
If you witness anything out of the ordinary, let me know.

MidknightUnter I have something to talk to you about the tutes pages. Next time on Vent.

Unter den UebrigenThx Mid, Shades; I'll crank my environ up to 16k x 12k and see what I can find. <div> layouts are a bit temperamental and tend not to respond to the screen dimensions in the same way tables do.
In any case, the bar should progress as low as the content and form a coherent “page within a page”; still doesn't beat a nice full top-to-bottom, though.

Dantelol, minor drama...
but it seems some of my posts have been subverted by the old msn site...i'm not kidding...
some posts i've had with titles equal to threads in old msn site have been replaced by msn thread links, as if they were the archive pages...
lol, im quite garbled as it is, but now i might appear totally psychotic, hehe...
hope i didnt f*ck anything up
Thank You postblood postThu July 03 2003, 01:31 AM

Yikes, Dante; that has to do with an old (violent) script I revived to attempt to fill out the archives. Lesson: beware of old code! Those messages are lost.
Yeah, Imp; it's probably time to crack that bug.

Dantenow i know what the oracle, or a sphinx, feels like, cracking out those cryptic messages...though its quite weird to be singled out i think...
indeed, one might even say that "its all been done before" and that we are but revisiting well-tread paths and past sentiments....well, this microcosm of creativity has progressed nicely along the lines of social evolution as far i can see...
reassuring but overall somewhat depressing thought...hmmmm...
[EDIT]: a heavy dinner can do this to me: mutation into contemplative armchair philosopher...ack!!!

Unter den UebrigenIt may be some balm to know that several of
my own posts were affected by that paleo-code.

Danteyub, so last time i checked the obsfucation count

UdUDanteManowarNuTT98very interesting and entertaining trying to decipher literally...i wonder how we weigh in posterity's eyes?

Unter den UebrigenIndeed; the negative tyranny of
lethe. At least the left's vagina isn't as strechable (try a "teststringteststringteststringteststringteststringteststringteststringteststringteststring" in the console).

MidknightI seen something else that came up.
Wed July 09 2003, 06:11 PM
Dantehahaha...i didnt see you attachment fully until i posted...
lol, there's some thing about a-o-v...he spawns bold text and "< br >"'s...i definitely havent seen that with udu....
Thu July 10 2003, 09:31 AM
Unter den UebrigenThat apparently has to do with the new fix for the long-string vulnerability: it breaks the “< br>” up, which somehow get interpreted as “<b>”. I'll see what I can cook up.

ManowarI've noticed the game taskbars don't update without hitting the refresh button on the bar and then hitting F5. I don't know how many of you have this problem either, but there's a simple setting you can change in IE to fix it.
Tools >> Internet Options >> under Temporary Internet Files click Settings >> Check "Every Visit to Page"
Viola!

Thu July 10 2003, 03:56 PM
Unter den UebrigenExactly, Mano; it's a cache-issue. Theoretically I should be able to pop an occasional command in the headers telling the browser that the cache is expired and "please reload", but from all reports it works shoddily at best. See if we can't figure something out.

originally, since the sidebar had been shortened it was sometimes a long time before i got a new update, but mano's suggestion works great!! thanks!

I had some silly IE6 certification at my last job. I guess it comes in handy from time to time.

Unter den UebrigenI'm declaring the cache problem and the bold problem and the menu-bleeding-over-its-sides problem temporarily fixed until we can produce some more screenies to the contrary.
You can also take your browsers off “every visit to page” mode, as that will have negative performance effects; it should now recash immediately under normal circumstances.
