Keith do you mind if I steal + adapt this for my tiny blog that no one reads? I would change the color scheme at a minimum.

It'd be nice to be able to see a screenshot of each stylesheet, imo, instead of having to apply each one and reload ILX in turn.

I like it a lot...except for the "Add a Post". Something less putty colored maybe?

This place just gets smoother and smoother every go-round. Thanks Keith.
My only long-running ILX dream is being able to offer multiple votes in radio button polls, not necessarily any kind of "ranked" deal but just where you could OP3 (or 5 or whatever) instead of OP1. (This would probably also necessitate the poll results also reporting how many voters were involved.) But I just saw that you've said upthread that that'd be complex to implement - so maybe n/m! Things are generally pretty great around here though.

can i ask why you have a max-height/width for imgs?
― caek, Sunday, 4 November 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
Cheers, caek. Sure, it's for a couple of reasons: for aesthetic reasons, the images shouldn't extend beyond the right hand side of the text area (you made me notice I got the numbers wrong here), just as it would be in a book/magazine/paper etc. but also back in the day when some kids would chuck their toys out the pram and when there were arguments they didn't like, or people they didn't like, would post lots of and/or huge images all over a thread, so there are a couple of things in place to prevent that kind of thing.
― Keith, Sunday, 4 November 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
hmm. tbh i don't agree with the aesthetic reasons (don't see why headings, bookmarks etc. can be wider than text, but images can't. in fact i think there's an argument for the reverse: long lines of are hard to read, and headings and bookmarks are text, but images aren't) and i'm not sure image bombing is the problem it used to be.
it's not the end of the world, but right-clicking "load image in new tab" on every post on boards like i love photography is a bit of a pain.
― caek, Monday, 5 November 2012 11:21 (eleven years ago) link
i totally approve of max-width for the text of posts btw, but if the reason is for readability rather than aesthetic then it should be an absolute measure in ems, not a % of the viewport imo. http://www.webtypography.net/Rhythm_and_Proportion/Horizontal_Motion/2.1.2/
― caek, Monday, 5 November 2012 11:23 (eleven years ago) link
Yes that's the bit I changed that you made me think about.
― Keith, Monday, 5 November 2012 12:32 (eleven years ago) link
suggestion: remove the max-width for the signature line. readability is not really an issue and the max-width makes of the bookmark link is kind of unpredicatable because some people have long nicks. minor irritant if you habitually bookmark the end of every thread you follow.
― caek, Monday, 5 November 2012 13:35 (eleven years ago) link
Yes I was considering just that. I'll try it later and see how it looks.
― Keith, Monday, 5 November 2012 14:24 (eleven years ago) link
I tried this. Unfortunately it looks pretty bad - really ragged, so I've left it as it is.
― Keith, Monday, 5 November 2012 22:34 (eleven years ago) link
for me, given this is text you click, not just text you look at, it being ragged is less of a concern than the bookmark link being in a predictable location
can i send you a swiss-caek.css which gets rid of max-width for the images and signature lines?
― caek, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
a little idea: it would be cool when searching for a thread to be able to sort the results by number of posts in the thread. so for example, i was just looking for a bob dylan thread to post on, there are a million dylan threads, i'd like to know which one is the one that people have used the most so i can continue that thread instead of reviving some random dylan thread with 10 posts.

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.

not to get all kafkaesqueesque here, but has anyone noticed that it's hard to search for a thread if part or all of its title title is in quotes? I did a search for Songs where you can 'hear the join' the other day, (my search term was "hear the join", but I also resorted to the boolean < hear AND join > without quotes) and the ilx search kept coming up empty. finally I tried google and it came up right away. the only way to search for that particular thread is to use the unquoted text (songs where you can) as a search term.
It's weird because some thread titles with quoted text come up just fine in the search. every year since 2004 there's been a thread titled "This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- [the year]", but if you do a search for "end of the year in cinema", the 2004 and 2005 threads (but none of the others) show up, in spite of the fact that the thread titles from all the years are formatted identically. weird, huh? I searched for a bunch of thread titles with quotes in them, and it seems like only the older (pre-2006?) threads appear in the search. is this a difficult problem to fix?

I also noticed that when you have images turned off in your preferences, images will still appear in the search results. but that's a whole different issue.
― garfield drops some dank n' dirty dubz at 2am (unregistered), Monday, 25 March 2013 21:56 (eleven years ago) link
(that should read "only the 2004 and 2005 threads)
