I didn't know you could do that, thanks!

Is it *all* bookmarks though? :(

we should have one of these

oh yeah we did here you go http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?boardid=41

a search function i would love is the ability to sort by most recently updated thread

Select "Newest First".

i think that's most recently created, not updated

when you fp, return to that post instead of top of thread. thks.

someone has been busy!

I do a bit every now and again ya

Ahaha I just got this

Special "The Record" process to be initiated when anyone uses The phrase "for the record" or "ftr", involving (a) an automated response from "The Record" thanking the poster for their contribution to The Record, and (b) an actual record, kept threadwise, of those posts.

I think it a tragedy that these important contributions are not curated properly and respectfully.

Tim yr bias against longer display names has not gone unnoticed in the shadowier corners

all of ilx is the record though

otr otm

ILx is *a* record, of sorts, but if it were The Record, it wouldn't be necessary for ILxors to point out when certain posts were intended for The Record.

Unless, that is, you're arguing that such posts are being made - such markers laid down - for the particular benefit of ILx, and that saying "for the record" denotes a post setting out a position taken on ILx and not sincerely held.

Delete everything every year. An annual new start.

"ILX After Dark Mode"

According to Consumer Reports, "Sitting in front of the TV and reading e-books [or ILX--andrew m.] may seem like a great way to fall asleep. But those bright screens can fool your brain into thinking it's morning. Click both off an hour or so before bed. And try using white text on a black background for tablets and e-readers."

So yeah, view option to flip to white text on black background=well-rested ILXors. It's basically science.

Of course science also suggests having my last cocktail six hours before bed, which ain't happenin'.

I'd suggest saving big threads to Pocket for later reading, but that's one of the most depressing things I've ever thought of.

there might be a stylesheet like that?

would prefer if After Dark mode involved martinis and adult repartee

I'd like to thank the seven users who have demonstrated a keen eye for design by choosing the independently-owned and developed crimsonhexagon.css. Please forward any criticism, bugs, love letters, hate speech, and/or psychological advice to me.

My condolences, forks. :(

There's a setting on Zing that switches to white on black too

Initially didn't want to FP you but later felt that this board should exist under the rule of law

I know KenzoDB is very different from the ilx code, but it'd be cool if there was some quick/easy way to create an ILXOR map similar to the WFMU donor map -- http://wfmu.org/marathon/map.php

it'd be pretty easy using geoip services, but there's mixed utility there

might also be bad if there are some ilxors who live in sparsely-populated areas and even the zip code would give them away. an opt-in option might be ok?

Yeah, I was definitely thinking of everybody putting their own thumbtack on the map, but requiring login so it couldn't be shenaniganized.

like that's going to stop shenanigans

I see you there, WmC.

Seems like we did this once, but maybe without registration. All I remember is not tacking my city, but placing it on Pleasant Plains instead.

"The Loyal Order of Moose"

Hoping that's a sister location to the original Shenanigans.

Question about the bookmarking: would I be able to use the makeRequest() ajax method (which does a GET) to delete a bookmark, or does the request have to be a POST?

Should be able to fp threadstarter without clicking into thread

:D
