Is anyone using the alt site having issues? I suddenly can't get to it - but, I'm having internet issues generally and this problem cropped up once AT&T got my service restored. I can access the main site and .net, but once I log back in to my work server the main site will be blocked.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is anyone using Chrome seeing this?

No, I'm on Chrome, and it's normal

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Looks normal to me in Chrome.

Because books.
I use Chrome on my computer at work, and it does the thing where anything below the screen is blank until I highlight it. So I scroll down the page and come to sheer white every time.
Which is not exactly the same, but also weird.

I've seen it in Safari. It appears to be fixed in the webkit nightlies so it should be fixed in a future release of Safari.
Whether the fix made it into Blink and thus Chrome I don't know.

That's so peculiar. I'm getting it on all my laptop Chromes.
I've finally gotten off my ass and am debugging the code on a more recent version of PHP. I've migrated a copy of the code to a subdomain of one of my Dreamhost domains, so I'm testing to 5.2.17. Working my way through the big use cases, and once those have been worked out, I'll ask a few of you to register over there and hammer at it.
Once that feels good, I'll test a migration (I've just moved code, table structures, and the quotes) of posts and users and we can do a round of testing on that too.
More than once I've been asked about sharing the code. Clearly I'm embarrassed by the state of it, but you can't bring the system up all the way from the front end--it's simple enough to package the code and the table structures as well as the quote mechanisms (though you can add quotes through an interface, to add or delete shows or episodes you need SQL) and an admin user with a default password. The database connection information is in a config file, not in the code, but the groups of threads on the right side of the front page are hard-coded--the first two groups created will appear there.
Hmm. I wonder if it's worth adding that as an option for any thread group--display in right column. Fuck reordering, though. Also the archive thread is hardcoded in place...
I just want it to be tidy! On the inside too!
Also the HTML/CSS courses I'm taking on lynda.com are *not* helping things...

Because books.
I understood about 2.7% of what you just said, but I did get this: There will be a test board where we can post goofy stuff like last time? Because that was fun.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I totally get being embarrassed by your code after a while -- it happens to me after about 6 months, let alone as long as the board has been around! -- but is there anything others of us can do to help you with refactoring, updating, and general fabulousness-polishing?
