if you're using bookmarks then the only post you see is the thread bump so hitting home won't work.

the argument in favour of pics is the sheer amount of broken shit we get in the old threads – and the security holes when bad actors buy those domains

If someone's not going to upload a photo to imgur and use that link, why would they bother to upload to an ILX internal server?
Not talking so much about photos on your phone, but finding photo links from the web and changing the URL to those.
― pplains, Thursday, 18 June 2020 13:43 (three years ago) link
it's the "photos on your phone" case I'm mostly thinking about tbh.
― stet, Thursday, 18 June 2020 14:25 (three years ago) link
Are there any image hosts that automatically shrink phone photos to a reasonable size, for inline posting purposes?
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 18 June 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link
you can do it within imgur but it's kind of a pain (you have to hit edit after you upload and tell it the new dimensions, and plus it tends to reduce the quality of the image for some reason, even though it shouldn't)

an 'all one thread' view
― BRAVE THE AFRIAD (onimo), Saturday, 27 June 2020 15:43 (three years ago) link
How would that differ from SNA?
― DJI, Saturday, 27 June 2020 15:44 (three years ago) link
Because SNA is a list of threads not a single thread

you mean, the true giant singular thread, omino?
i would love to see that, as an experiment. many have said it wasn't even possible
― time is running out to pitch in $5 (Karl Malone), Saturday, 27 June 2020 16:41 (three years ago) link
xp!
can't claim credit for the "all of ilx is one thread" idea, although i do believe in it
someone mentioned it earlier that day and i was just riffing off of it (sorry i can't remember details)
― time is running out to pitch in $5 (Karl Malone), Saturday, 27 June 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link
Yes, just need to work out how to manage replies. Maybe set it so anyone posting to the Singularity would only have their reply only visible there
― BRAVE THE AFRIAD (onimo), Saturday, 27 June 2020 16:44 (three years ago) link
ooh, that's an interesting idea. do i have this right: you can only see the mini conversation tree if you actually reply to the post in question? and once you do, it opens up the rest of the replies to that post (as part of the infinite thread)?
if that were the case, you wouldn't be able to read the responses to ideas before throwing your own in there, which would be very different from ilx and very interesting, too. though, i guess you could just reply "-" and then see the responses.
― time is running out to pitch in $5 (Karl Malone), Saturday, 27 June 2020 16:50 (three years ago) link
oh wait, haha sorry omino. now i'm realizing what you meant (it was very clear, i'm just amped up on coffee). i like the idea of singularity-thread only posts too, heh

Maybe a board level single thread would be better because I dont think a million Beatles posts mixed with a million Trump posts would be good for anyone.

Re a single thread, I think a better idea for ilx would be for Americans to exercise a tiny bit of self-control when it comes to starting a new thread about the current neverending election that is identical to the 243 extant threads on same

you think that would be easier than reprogramming an entire message board?

The purpose of new threads is to avoid unloadably long threads

btw, this is closely related to the thread about how the mods did 9/11 (obviously true, it's more about why they did it)
