Hello all, Just a quick note: Whether you agree or disagree with the use of AI tools, this thread is perhaps not the best place for that discussion. If there's anything the MLA is about, it's having fun with your old macs. Some folks enjoy making museum displays, some need to complete their...

This is awesome! So fun! Great job!

Yep, you’re on the money! I need to add some features to catch those and handle them

Tested this with MacWeb, seems to work now!

FYI all: Moved classic.68kmla.org to point at a container with a public IP instead of a load balancer/WAF, at IP 76.164.192.221 which answers with the classic site as the default server, so even browsers that don't send the host header (like MacWeb) have a shot at loading this. You may need to...

Hello all, We've purged the approval queue! If you didn't meet the deadline, please re-register! Thanks, //wthww

Sweet!

More brains (and eyes!) are better than one. I plan to implement the permission checking this weekend so I can display a message similar to what you've suggested.

These machines are certainly the right age! The other thing I run into often with PPC machines of this vintage is that they need nvram patches to do some of this and it's easy to displace them.

Hello @CC_333, The permissions one is in the list already, I just haven't gotten to it yet! In re styling, we're actually pretty close in terms of table layouts. I'd like to understand what you'd like to see here. More consistent styling at the top of the page, different header/footer styling...

Awesome work!

Update: added simpletext newspaper readme icon as placeholder.

Updates on testing: Confirmed good on: Navigator 4.61 Navigator 3.01 Gold iCab IE 4.5 IE 5 Confirmed not good on: MacWWW (doesn't support vHosts)

Hello again, Last deploy of the night: Added recent page to make recently bumped threads work on classic! Enjoy, and have a good night! //wthww

Thank you for trying this! It's probably because MacWeb doesn't send the host header (not http 1.1) to tell the webserver which site it wants. Next weekend I'll swap the classic site to he hosted on a machine without any vhosts configured. That should make the classic page load instead of the...

Hello MLAers, We've setup a new web frontend to the MLA designed for use with your favorite vintage machine. You can find the 68kMLA Classic interface here. Meta-discussion in this Hacks and Development thread. //wthww

Question for folks: Would you enjoy the ability to post from the classic page? I was thinking it could be implemented by using aTOTP authenticator on your MLA account. We'd also add a permission option in user preferences. The option would look like this: If you clicked "reply" you'd be...

Updates as of 2025-12-19 17:24 PST: Updated colors and fonts to be a little easier on the eyes. Added basic pagination controls.
