New ILX functions - can I hide them?

buffer.append("<div class='thread'>");

Tell that buffer to stop appending that. It's adding zero.

Ledge is right, though, the spans that are separating and defining the various parts of the metadata... yeah. Those are useful, or might be useful at some point, especially for xhtml and rss purposes. Anyway that aren't hurting anything. The trouble is that some of them are carrying weight, which spans don't really do... oh it's so late.

there s to b a couple of new functions on ilx.... just wanted to ask about it.

I like the "my recent posts" feature -- it's likely that I'll post to a thread and then totally forget what it's called a couple weeks later when I wonder whether anything has happened on that thread.

Yeah, that's what I use it for, though hours not weeks. I like it a lot. "What have I posted on lately and has any of it made anyone call me a jerk?"

Is there any way - sorry if it actually already does this, or if the lookups would be a terrible resource-drain - it could mark which of the posts are on threads which have been replied to since you looked?

Isn't this what bookmarks are for?

bookmarks are too too much. i don't want in-yer-face notifications every time every thread i post to gets updated.

too too - unintentional use of double intensifier

But the "My Recent Posts" thing doesn't tell you when a thread has been updated. It only shows your recent posts, not the posts that might've followed them.

Still think Keith should just refuse to implement some features (not even as a preference), but if not then perhaps these new features (and all the menu items in fact) should each have a unique class name (e.g.

menu-myrecentposts

menu-sortalpha

display: none

(also code should perhaps apply the html code tag, not the pre one so things like that don't happen!)

I can see it being useful for "How drunk was I last night?" analysis.

I like that the 'site new answer' is on the bottom of the page!

I find my recent posts nifty, fwiw. Its a nice simple reminder of threads you've been active on without having to recieve constant updates in any other form. Its controllable, y'kin?

And Kenan, <3 you darl but you shot yourself in the foot asking why the alph feature's right up top, when you missed site answers and the point thereof: if new features werent in peoples faces most people wouldn't know to use them maybe.

Hmm actually: what about a "new features!" link instead that bolds up when Keith's added new things? S'just a thought.

Oh wow, "My Recent Posts" is gonna be totally awesome the next time I get so drunk I can't remember what I did the night before.

Its funny because its true ;_; (for me)
