Ideas for ILX

i would think so!

I do. Still the occasional typo. :(

(xp to Roxy)

of course it is a compliment, you are the shining star of the admin log.

wow ty!!

really digging this bullet thing! thanks, keith!

^^^

also, this is just a small pet peeve of mine, but in the search page, when searching posts by a certain user, could the default be changed to "display name" instead of "email address" as i can't see who would use the email address to search except for mods (?) and lots of times, esp when i'm trying to find a certain post by someone in a rush, i always have to end up clicking back to search because i forgot to change the default

^^ Yeah, cosign that.

OH I HAVE ANOTHER ONE

okay so, could it be possible to order the list of boards on the "boards" page so that i can put the ones that i always read up at the top and the ones that i don't down at the bottom? or like, where it says "ILM Answers" and "ILE Answers" to be able to customize which boards have those links at the top?

you can do the latter in preferences!

buuuuuuurn

ah great, thx t

definitely the bigger one would be having the ablity to order the list of boards on the board page

HEY ANOTHER ONE

is there a way to convert simple html to bbcode? i've never seen that on this site before

this bullet point thing is super cool cuz sometimes... like i don't want to lose a bookmark on a thread (usually to watch a youtube) but i still want to read the thread if there are subsequent posts and beforehand there was no way to figure out if there were new posts unless you watched the thread on SNA, so this is awesome keith

Jordan, cheers, also re: the search you are spot on... I'll change it next chance I get because you are absolutely right.

"My Recent Posts" = cool. Bullets thing is kinda cool too but doesn't looks a bit off in the default style - maybe they should be squares?

Maybe the ability to edit a post? I hate reading my own typso.

This! I would like a way to Preview the post before submitting it - like a client-side check for bbcode errors and images and such to make sure you're not messing things up.

Yes I'll have a think about that - several people have asked for that.

Sorted the search defaults.

it already sends your post back if you mess up code...further than that, just read your posts.

Your post count displayed on the boards page.

oooooooohh i like

6,543. Reverse countdown, nice. Maybe I'll just stop now. Oh crap.

OK mods can now deindex threads. Note that all this does is puts something in the thread to instruct Google and the like to either not index it, or to deindex it - it'll take time if it's already indexed and there's no guarantee that any given search engine will take notice of the deindex instruction.

Ta very much, you rock.

Shudder.

I saw how many messages I posted and I about spat out my soup.

xp now I don't feel so bad

You have posted 128,089 messages

That's it?

Yes you really need to start putting your mind to this.

Wait are these stats since the dawn of ILX or just since ILX2? Apologies if that's been asked upthread, it's kinda long.

It depends really. It's not to do with ILX or ILX2, but more to do with whether or not you've been using the same email address, so yours and Ned's stats are correct for the email address/login ID you're currently using.

Is that all, guess I haven't been wasting as much time here as I thought.

Changing subject, would it be possible to have options to sort the new threads pages alphabetically?

Ah right, that is all my ILX posts ever then. Good lord.

Ned, your total is about 2% of the total number of posts on ILX!

Billy, I suppose it would be possible - might seem a little strange though - do you mean to have say the 200 most recent threads, but not ordered by how recent they are, but in alphabetical order?

Yes you really need to start putting your mind to this.

Well I'll get on that.

Ned, your total is about 2% of the total number of posts on ILX!

You have to start somewhere.

Keith, yes. Sometimes I know a thread has been updated recently but can't find it straight away, being able to place them in order could be useful in finding it.

It would be nice to be able to skip directly to the most recent time jump on a thread, rather than having to scroll up and down for ages to find it.

OK, it's not hard to sort them but might have to think about how you choose that option. Bear in mind that some threads are going to weirdly disappear from the middle when they're sorted (as they drop out of the top 200).

huh really. I thought more like 50. I'd like to think that I remain amazingly anonymous for a 500 post guy.

while I'm here, someone please tell me how to access that titleless NOT WORKSAFE topic before my head explodes in frustration. I thought I was being smart going to blog view but I still can't work out how people are posting in it.

view page source ; )

You can't, it's invite only! (xpost) (damn!)

phew.

Wow I cannot believe I have 1,454 posts on these boards, I would have guessed more like 500. I have been around here a long time but I can barely call myself a lurker with a post count like that.

Ned makes lurkers of us all.

Guys, I am closing in on 50,000.

ok, Ned and jaymc.

Between my old screen name and this one, I'm at ~8500.

how come you can't make a new poll on IRE anymore? the link at the top seems to be gone. i can still see it on 1p3.

You can turn polls off for boards, so I guess this is what's happened here. Why someone did that for IRE, I don't know... Anyone else know?

jergins!!!!!!!!

lol
