On Sunday we rolled out new HTML for 4chan's imageboards. The new code validates HTML5/CSS3, the design should appear exactly the same, pages should load slightly faster (especially long threads), and extension/user script/archive developers should have a much easier job parsing our pages. This is the first time in approximately ten years that it has been updated.

If you are using an extension or app that has not been updated for the changes, some features may not work—you will need to wait for the developer to update their extension/app to be compatible with the new HTML. If you haven't downloaded it already, try the Official 4chan Chrome Extension.

The most significant changes with the new HTML are a new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features. Check them out by clicking [Settings] in the upper-right (make sure you don't select features that conflict with those from an extension though), or visit 4chan from your phone!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

>How close are you to being done with your cosplays?
I still need to put together my /g/ computer backpack, but all the parts are ready, just waiting to be tied together. Maybe make some accessories for it? we'll see. I suppose i'm doing a second 'cosplay' on Sunday for my Retro Games panel, i'm dressing up like cheif Arino from Game Centre CX. I already have the tacky pants and dress shirt, I just need a plain neck tie and those crazy migraine pads.

>Which hotel are you staying at?
Maison Corky

>Biggest fear for the /cgl/ meetup?
Hmmm, I've met up with Internet people before, so there are plenty of concerns. That said everything I'm worried about is social. Things getting awkward, being too shy to break into someone's circle of friends? things like that. The last time I met with a group of people from ~the internet~ the stress from not knowing where to sit was enough to make me feel like spaghetti pockets 3000.

>Will you be ready for that blaring heat?
I will be! I'd rather it be hot then raining. That said, i'd rather be cool then either

Im going to have to go to fabricland tomorrow way north of the city and pray they have the right green fabric. ive gone to every place along Queen West, as well as the few warehouses I know of, and cant find the right color ANYWHERE. Ugh.
>>
>>5865494
It doesn't have to be that exact color, does it? :/
>>
I'd go to all your meetups, but I highly doubt my friend will wanna go. Plus i'd just be akward being there, I know no one plus I have no costume, busy as fuck working forever so I barely had time to even book a hotel/get train ticket
but anyways will be there, can't wait as I've never been to a con before.

>>
>>5865498
>>5865506
You should come anyway just to say hi. The photoshoot or the picnic on Friday will probably be the one where everyone is getting to meet each other. Does your friend still go on 4chan? He is still welcome to join, I know a lot of people go to different boards so it's not like he should feel left out or anything.

just putting the final ver. of the /cgl/ guide. Any problem with making the red circle
(>>5865371)
our meetup spot for the whole weekend? for the fri/sun meetups and whatnot?

where do the Jack Astor's people want to meet?

Anything else to add the the tiny events? can I put DQ's mob on there? or is that cancelled?

any more people we know with AA booths?

We need a common location inside for rainchecks, can anyone think of some good places that aren't usually too busy that we can try to converge? We don't need to stay there, just organize

I'm thinking either:
• Back of DT, by the tiny elevator and the twin stairs
• The unused entrance of the DT (facing the Sheridan)

So, I used to live a 5 min drive from the double tree hotel and i didnt even know that is where anime north takes place. I remember seeing people dressed up in costumes in the summer and i would be so confused. Anyway, now its like a longer 15 min drive

Anyway, is Anime North focused on new animes or does it have a lot of old popular animes like dragonball z and inu yasha? Also, is it only about anime or do they have video games and western cartoon stuff there too? Would there be avatar stuff?

>Anime North focused on new animes or does it have a lot of old popular animes like dragonball z and inu yasha?
It has both old and new. Mostly new but there is always cosplays of older animes as well as merch.
>Also, is it only about anime or do they have video games and western cartoon stuff there too?
Yup, tons of western stuff and video games.
>Would there be avatar stuff?
More than likely, especially with the Korra fanbase.

A friend of mine went last year and when I went to meet up with him just as the panel was (suppose) to end, and there was a huge line with security at the door not letting people in because they hit capacity, even with the biggest panel room AN had.

Trust me, its a shit show to get to the actual convention center by bus/train from the falls. It will probably take you around 4 hours to get to the con. Use the google trip planner, http://gotransitnlb.gotransit.com/public/en/schedules/google.aspx it will show you were you need to walk/take the bus/train.

Its supposed to... go transit is shit if you need alot of transfers. Check out megabus.com you can take the bus from the Niagara falls terminal right to toronto without any transfers. But then once you're in toronto you need to take the city service to the airport.

I dont know the TTC schedule and how to get from downtown to the airport but maybe someone else can help with that. But anyway maybe the bus is a better idea then the GO service.

Ninja! Be a tshirt ninja then all black

Or do something clever like dress up like a pig and carry a sign that says "swine flu".
A suit and Guy Fawkes mask. Or a suit in general would be good.

Stay on the 401 to at least Mississuaga, worst case scenario get off at the Mississuaga Road exit and pop onto Steeles just one intersection North and you can ride in slower, but less traffic.

This will be my fourth time at AN, and thus far, something in the planning has gone horribly wrong every year. So, being as how I'll actually be at the centre/my hotel by around 1/1:30, and can get my badge at a decent time, what kind of lines should I expect (for pre-reg)? Do a lot of folks have the same idea to get there when the line is early, or do more show up around 4/5 when the con gets going or...?

I can either get them at around 1:30 when I get there, or wait until whenever, so

tl;dr best time to get in pre-reg line, based on past experience?

on a semi-related note, horrible con experiences?
>>
>>5871118

He's also done a number of remixes for Panty and Stocking. Here's a video of one his remixes. He happened to play this song while I was at Nocturnal Comission's "Touched by his Noodly Apendage". One of my favorites personally. Expect much from him.

Yeah, the indoor rave is free, I do believe there is a fee for bag/coat check. Last time I went it was $2.
And yes, the indoor rave I believe starts at 8, but you'll want to get in line as soon as you can. I think the longest I've waited in line to get in was an hour and a half. Any longer than that, and it's really not worth it.

Does anyone smoke? I need a cigarette for my Shizuo costume. I don't intend to light it, as I don't smoke. Alternately, where could I get a prop cigarette, or what could I make as a facsimile?

I've just been planning to use a sucker, but if I can get something more accurate, that would be ideal

So as soon as I took this picture I realized how cracked up my boots are. I'm gonna try to buy some sealant tomorrow, and I added more hairspray to the bottom which apparently continues to be sticky. I also attempted to iron my shorts which did not go well, I need to google how to iron dyed clothes

Generally browse /a/ but I'll be going. Last minute shit Hanten Shiranui getup is what I'll be going in.

I plan on actually planning something out for next year.

If you see someone with this jersey and blue duct tape trim, gimme a shout!

Might I be welcome to one of the meetups and see some of the awesome work some have put into their outfits?

I have a huge craving for spaghetti and garlic bread. Anyone know which nearby restaurant has the best? I'd prefer somewhere that's not gonna be fucking packed all weekend (like the restaurant cluster by the TCC always is).

They don't search bags in any con area in my experience. But don't bring anything into the jpop dance/rave if you were thinking about going. They are hardcore with that event.

Is there a secret meeting only cool people are allowed?

Always and Everywhere my friend. I wasnt stopped or searched at all in any of my escapades. As >>5872529 said, dont run around screaming and raping people and you will be fine.

I went into the rave last year with alcohol, but i had a media pass so i guess they dont care, they didnt even search me at all at security, just let me right through.

>>5872567
A bar and grill.

>>5872574
Yeah but I mean, is there any late night party or some shit?

>>5872577
Is there a dress code? I might be interested, but fuck me if there's a dress code because I can't be bothered to bring one of my decent looking suit there.
>>
>>5872567
Pretty standard bar/grill food. Hamburgers, pasta, chicken strips, salads, pizza, and they are have few asian styled stir fry dishes. Something for everyone probably. Average cost is probably around $20-30 including drink + tip.

I didn't sign up to go because I have a group of non-cgl friends that probably wouldn't wanna come, but I love Jack Astors even though all I eat is chicken strips. Their Jackarita's are delicious slushie alcohol.

Anyhow, is the opening ceremony this "AMAZING THING YOU HAVE TO SEE" or it's meh? I have ~11 hours of car to do (900km) so I have to plan accordingly, and I will most likely get some shit thrown at me, traffic and whatnot. I don't really want to leave my home at 2am, because I'm the only driver.

Yes, it's hell of a ride.

That's quite a long trek just for a con, but it's worth it!

I'm moving in Montreal however for next semester, I'll be wayyyy closer.

Ooh, I've never been to Montreal. I wanna go there one day, though.

I say it`s a lovely city because I can in both French and English(French being my first language)...

I hate the fact that some people just can`t speak english because the school system regarding ESL is awful as shit... and old folks often just don't give a single shit.

But all around, it`s a really welcoming place with tons of stuff to do. You're from Canada?

I'm cosplaying all Homestuck characters, and I probably shouldn't say that considering /cgl/ seems to dislike Homestuck a bit. On Friday I'm cosplaying Female!Hussie, on Saturday I'm cosplaying Human!Vriska, and on Sunday I'm cosplaying Dave Strider.

I've checked other weather sites for the forecast, and I've gotten mixed results. A few said that it looked clear, slightly cloudy on the weekend and that the rain was happening tonight (Thurs), but I mean, the Weather Network is like... The Oprah of weather networks, so I don't know how reliable my other sources are.
Anyone in TO heard a forecast?

Also just rechecking TWN, Friday is showing the rain in the morning/afternoon, so hopefully we're good for the con that day. Saturday is still showing sun, and 'light rain' on Sunday.
>>
>>5874479
Some people are leaving early Monday instead of late Sunday. It gives them time to organize things and rest and whatnot.
