Can I get a notification via text when I'm used in someone's DN

you guys must have incredible text msg plans

having SMS completely disabled was my idea of an incredible text msg plan

Would it be possible to pull every post you've ever made into a word or text file or something? Or to just display them all on one screen? Like, I understand that I could search for posts by my login i.d. and then copy and paste them myself, but doing that five posts at a time would be tedious for people with thousands of posts.

but not for a moderator to code

Well, my best guess is that it would involve a bit of work, but maybe there's some incredibly easy way to make it happen. I'm not certain of what would be involved in this, is why I'm asking.

Why would you want to do such a thing?

Compiling a book, obviously. Or NaNoWriMo cheating.

lol you'll never get a novel done with that typing speed

Actually, it hit me the other day when people were talking about "oh no, I've made 10,000 posts on ilx when I could have been writing a novel." I got to thinking about how many ilx posts are lengthy autobiographical episodes and how it would be great to compile my own such posts, just for personal use. I've put a lot of time into writing such posts and dredging up old memories and if ilx were to disappear for whatever reason, all that would be gone.
Scrolling through 5 posts at a time for any reason is a real pain in the ass though.

Eh okay.
― Adge Cutler & the Özils (NickB), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 11:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Just an idea, anyway.
― kkvgz, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 12:03 (thirteen years ago) link
No, it's kind of a nice idea, but the thought of seeing 10,000 of my own posts... *shudder*
― Adge Cutler & the Özils (NickB), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 12:09 (thirteen years ago) link
You and me both, buddy.

thirded
I understand that I could search for posts by my login i.d.
This doesn't seem to work for me anymore - I only get posts where other people have used my full name instead. Any chance this could be fixed (or otherwise explained to moron me)?
On the plus side, my attempt did flag up some wags making fun of me on another board during my early days here. Nice touch, guys.

I can search under your display name, ismael

I would like the accumulated texts of my posts to be presented in the shape of jean luc picard's facepalm pose. My guess is his would be about 3 minutes of coding.
― bnw, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh man, Ismael. Pretty much you only got made fun of when you first started posting.
― kkvgz, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Hm yes, seems to work just dandy now - ineptitude seems the likely explanation here
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:13 (thirteen years ago) link
i remember when i started posting, pretty much the first few years i was horribly picked on by one poster in particular, don something, i think. it was heartbreaking. he's not around anymore though.

too lazy to search upthread but one thing I'd love to see (which I'm certain we never will) is an "ignore thread" option
maybe I'll poke around the killfile script and see if I can modify that to support it
― Opinions are a lot like assholes. You've got LOTS of BOTH of them. (HI DERE), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:53 (thirteen years ago) link
what would that do- enable you to not physically click on and read a thread?
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:55 (thirteen years ago) link
It would be like killfilling a thread from New Answers. Potentially useful for reading ILX at work without certain threads popping up I'd say.

Are there bosses out there that are more likely to be more bothered by individual thread titles than the fact that you're not doing ANY FUCKING WORK?
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Cos I need a boss like that tbh
Maybe a suggest ban counter? So ilxors would know how many people they have pissed off without having to ask a mod.

This is a brilliant idea, Dan.
― kkvgz, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Yours too, Nicole, although I'm sure that's been brought up before in various sb clusterfucks.
Any mod i've ever requested an SB count from has had a gleeful, if not outright maliciously satisfied, mien.

oh no, I've made 10,000 posts on ilx when I could have been writing a novel. outside, playing.
― Ned Trifle (Notinmyname), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:03 (thirteen years ago) link
i would've loved to have killfiled the viking thread
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:03 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i would use "ignore thread" for threads I really should not be reading or posting on but I keep reading and posting because I have no willpower
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:05 (thirteen years ago) link
i think it would be more fun if people dramatically asked mods to ban them from threads, like when everyone tries to get unhooked from ilx
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:06 (thirteen years ago) link
i wouldn't give that trigger-happy bastid HI DERE the satisfaction tbh

does anyone else have this problem where you can't play ilx youtube embeds in chrome? (windows xp, up to date build, no extensions). they work fine on blogs, other fora etc
― r|t|c, Saturday, 3 July 2010 09:39 (thirteen years ago) link
they don't work on my iPhone, don't know if that's related at all? It's better that way, actually, cos they just appear as hyperlinks instead - if they showed up as embeds (which do work) it would probably kill my browser
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 3 July 2010 09:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Is it possible for a thread title change to be reflected in the bookmarks as well?
e.g. "US Politics: LOOK AT MY RIGHTEOUS [[redacted]]" still appears as "US Politics: LOOK AT MY RIGHTEOUS COCK" in my bookmarks
― sorprendentemente noioso (onimo), Friday, 6 August 2010 14:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Can you not get round that by removing the bookmark and then re-bookmarking?
― I am using your worlds, Friday, 6 August 2010 14:17 (thirteen years ago) link
being able to select certain threads not showing up on SNA would be great, but i reckon that's prob been discussed and whatnot up above.
so, i'll, er, just go check that instead.

<spoilers> BB code which lets you embed spoilers in threads, shows up as a black block of text, highlight to reveal

won't that be difficult w/ different schemes (i.e. white on black or terminal?)
