Ideas for ILX

That's right, some dude. Some people don't use bookmarks at all.

lol

Wish I could be like that. Why did I link to a thread about "Matt Taibbi"? Who's that? Who gives a shit? There's a thread in there called Penis. No way am I clicking that. "Which fictional character is your hero and why?" ttthhhhppppppppt. I have horrible bookmarking habits.

Think of it as having faith in the ability of ILX to turn threads around!

thanks ledge! i am not fussy about a toggle so if that works then that'll do me fine

(btw if it has any bearing when i said gmonkey script i was only gonna whack it into chrome?)

There is something about view previous page that's a little off but fecked if i can remember what.

people who use bookmarks to alert them when threads they've already completely read have resurfaced.

? Why would you use a bookmark for that when the open-circle thingy indicates it already?

... idk about that, only been testing in firefox. And I forgot to make it work on thread pages, add these two lines in the comment section at the top for that:

// @include     http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet*
// @include     http://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet*

And here's a version with fancy toggle, but it doesn't always work when you refresh...

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Hide ilx bookmarks
// @namespace   http://tom.ledger.name
// @description Hide ilx bookmarks from new answers pages
// @include     http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet*

var bm = document.getElementsByClassName("bookmarks")[0];
bm.style.marginBottom=0;
var elem = document.createElement("a");
elem.setAttribute("style", "margin-left: 2%;");
elem.setAttribute("href", "#bmhide");
elem.innerHTML = "hide bookmarks";
elem.addEventListener("click", toggle);
bm.parentNode.insertBefore(elem, bm.nextSibling);
if (GM_getValue("hidden")) hide();
function toggle()
{
	if (GM_getValue("hidden"))
	{
		show();
		GM_setValue("hidden", false);
	}
	else
	{
		hide();
		GM_setValue("hidden", true);
	}
}
function hide()
{
	bm.style.display="none";
	elem.innerHTML="show bookmarks";
}
function show()
{
	bm.style.display="block";
	elem.innerHTML="hide bookmarks";
}

The open circle is very small and I really only get to the ophthalmologist maybe once every presidential administration.

i use bookmarks for the odd rolling tv show thread when i might not watch something same time as everyone else, otherwise a football or music thread i am on here enough to follow it as it goes (and i happily accept this is disgusting savagery in the grand scheme of life)

Real answer: if I'm away from ilx for a day or two, the open circle thingy will slip back down sna along with the thread, but a bookmark alert will stay there until I do something about it.

hl my eyesight is shot to shit and I manage it fine but i donno.

but tbf, I dont heavily read ilx. I dont real ILM at all, and the rest I skim, so.

I browse individual boards/sna maybe twice a month these days

without bookmarks I'd probably give up

people who use bookmarks to alert them when threads they've already
completely read have resurfaced.

? Why would you use a bookmark for that when the open-circle thingy indicates it already?

Because then if you don't look at ILX for a day and the thread gets revived you get an alert even if it's fallen off Site New Answers?

Also because the open-circle indicator expires every so often, or occasionally they all get reset. Plus if you click on loads of threads but only bookmark a select few it's like the next level up of might-be-interesting.

think koogs is otm in that the toggle version would need to remember the last state

honestly though i don't need more than v1 cos i know what handful of threads i have bookmarked and it's nothing to go to the bookmarks page from the link at the top and hit them from there

v1 is working fine for me although if i'm being a tart then perhaps there is a distraction in that i see the bookmarks for a halfsec first before they get chomped (then again i have five zillion tabs open over four windows and havent deleted cache in forever so i probably shouldnt be testing right now)

thanks again!

(i have 26 *pages* of bookmarks fwiw)

ledge's bookmark hider does maintain state, using GM_setValue / getValue. which, iirc, stores them in firefox settings - you can see them in about:config.

are gm script methods distinct from those in the original html or can you have a clash if you use the same method names?

There is something about view previous page that's a little off but fecked if i can remember what.

Would much rather have view last 100 messages than view previous page.

are gm script methods distinct from those in the original html

they are, yup.

Wish I could be like that. Why did I link to a thread about "Matt Taibbi"? Who's that? Who gives a shit? There's a thread in there called Penis. No way am I clicking that. "Which fictional character is your hero and why?" ttthhhhppppppppt. I have horrible bookmarking habits.

Stuck at the doctor's yesterday, I started browsing the Zing app that's still signed in under my old username. Holy shit bookmarks. So many threads I used to tune into that, somehow, I've lived without in the past year.

the other thing is that you still get the hollow circle for threads you don't care about any more (if you ever did). with bookmarks they are only things you are still interested in, or you'd've deleted the bookmark.

that said, i do find hitting 'bookmark' is an automatic response when i get to the bottom of a thread, any thread.

the other thing is that you still get the hollow circle of friends you don't care about any more (if you ever did).

misread this ;_;

no limit to display name length

^important idea

beta HideThreads script here, using a bunch of code from ledge's thing upthread and the kilzor script:

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/HideThreads.user.js

there's a new link at bottom of threads to hide / unhide.

threads are removed from lists ie SiteNewAnswers, NewAnswers, SiteNewQuestions only.

will still be visible in Search Results and Blog View (blog view is wildly different from the above. so whilst it's easy enough to find a blocked thread in blog view, it's hard to tell where it ends as it's just a mixed list of h3, span, p and br, there needs to be a div or something around each thread, a single thing to hide.)

hiding a thread won't remove it from bookmarks. Removing it from bookmarks will remove it from bookmarks.

^ developed on linux / greasemonkey / firefox.

I need Greasemonkey to load that script into Firefox, correct?

yes

what about something that's like flag post but you flag posts you think are really great and then after the poster accumulates enough 'great posts' they get a yellowcard that says "X ppl think you're pretty cool"

surely you meant "youre banned"

your righteous comments in political thread were the inspiration for this idea actually

aw

i have an idea it's called 'the bachelor: ilx' basically lurkers would compete (& narrowed via poll) to be contestants on an elimination-style dating show, competing for the single men & women of ilx. idea came to me thinking recently that a lot of ilxor dudes are kind of a major catch http://publicapps.ocdsb.ca/Secondary_Websites/Teacher_Res/beamtut/Images/lightbulb.gif how many ppl out there scrolling through wdyll creaming their jeans will forever remain shy, sighing before their computer screen at what could have been? + ilxors are often talking about misadventures on dating sites anyways. could maybe host it on tmi

Think you were looking for this thread: your terrible ideas

how many ppl out there scrolling through wdyll creaming their jeans will forever remain shy, sighing before their computer screen at what could have been?

lol

that seems like the kind of idea where you end up in jail but you can't pinpoint the exact moment you crossed the line

"ppl out there scrolling through wdyll creaming their jeans"

tell me more about these "ppl"

Z S are you single? dude isweartogod we can hook you *UP* bro

hahaha, no i'm happily unsingle :)

we are all going to jail

what about difficult listening hour... would be a quality first contestant imo

is this the WORST idea ever?

tell me more about these "ppl"

uh didn't stet say there are like 30 000 regular lurkers or some shit? odds are there's atleast one of em creaming their to this very thread at this very moment, i mean just strictly statistically speaking

*turns off computer, throws it out the window*

pay the haters no mind flopson this is a straight fire beautiful idea

I'm sorry, I jut came.

That would be JUST. Jesus fucking Christ, is it impossible to even make a throwaway remark without looking like a fool?

admittedly i was mostly concerned with the lols when i cooked this up but i actually legitimately believe that the winner would be a stone cold fox with really interesting opinions about sitcoms
