feature request: i want to hide my bookmarks

cosign the bookmark hiding. i don't use them for update notification so it's a bit annoying having to scroll down past everytime i'm signed in.

people gave me shit when i brought this up somewhere but anyway, thirding this

Ability to turn images and youtube embeds on/off on a thread-by-thread basis.

HELL yeah

unban Jordan

FUCK yes NOW we're cookin with grease

i wld like to know if board-specific suggest band is feasible

would be badass!!

board specific auto adding of kaos ani to posts

i dont know if this is feasible but

it would be cool if, when youre viewing a thread with posts hidden or that you've had bookmarked, and then you post something to it, it doesnt load the whole thread again but just goes back to how it was with your post added to the bottom???

sometimes this is a prob when its a huuuuge thread with 10000 images. just asking

i think it only does the first and last 50 posts thing rather than the entire thread, but even that's a pain.

Ability to set certain threads not to Skipping 1403 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all. for certain threads...

Reason: When returning to the "80s" poll thread, the function to go to last read post doesn't work as it's in the 'skipped' section, and when after "load all", the thread thinks the last post you read was the last post on the thread, so you have to return to "somewhere in the 1403 messages"...

Oh yeah, and the "enter username/password" on the SugBan.

what the fuck is this fuckin AD at the top of site new answers imploring me to vote in some kind of ILM poll

lets put the kibosh on this asap, imo

can you make an ad that goes at the top of site new answers complaining about the other ad?

see if yall had only listened to us pollhaters this abomination would not be upon us now

unseemly imo

and could someone put an announcement on top of site new answers saying that no boys are allowed to post in the no boys allowed in the room with a picture of a male stick figure with an "x" over it?

I've always wanted to push for an ILX Treehouse, but in this economy...

could there be a cute animal of the week that appears on top of site new answers?

i wasn't planning to vote in that poll but now wild horses couldn't stop me, i'm a sucker for intrusive exhortations.

can we get various robots to read out ilx posts like on The Net starring Sandra Bullock?

i'd like them all in a 7 Zark 7 voice

it would be awesome if we could see our SB total (kinda like our # of posts on the boards page).

have people not talked about this by now? i kind assumed it would have been. thinking it would maybe open up a can of worms like trying to figure out who just SB'd you and revenge SBs and a brand new way to have clusterfuck threads. the idea sounds practical at a glance, and i dunno maybe could illuminate SBable behaviour, but makes SBing a little less opaque and anonymity seems pretty consciously built in to the SB system? or else why wouldn't have just have that feature instead of that rolling SB total thread?

arby's OTM about the dangers of an instant SB notification

Have it updated monthly instead.

weekly

make a program like the southwest air ding for the exact time when you get a sb.

i realize that would never happen, but that would be so, so great

Can I get a notification via text when I get sb'd

Can I get a notification via text when I'm used in someone's DN

you guys must have incredible text msg plans

having SMS completely disabled was my idea of an incredible text msg plan

Would it be possible to pull every post you've ever made into a word or text file or something? Or to just display them all on one screen? Like, I understand that I could search for posts by my login i.d. and then copy and paste them myself, but doing that five posts at a time would be tedious for people with thousands of posts.

but not for a moderator to code

Well, my best guess is that it would involve a bit of work, but maybe there's some incredibly easy way to make it happen. I'm not certain of what would be involved in this, is why I'm asking.

:)

Why would you want to do such a thing?

first novel

Compiling a book, obviously. Or NaNoWriMo cheating.

"Words I Have Writ" by kkvgz

xpost, gah.

lol you'll never get a novel done with that typing speed

Actually, it hit me the other day when people were talking about "oh no, I've made 10,000 posts on ilx when I could have been writing a novel." I got to thinking about how many ilx posts are lengthy autobiographical episodes and how it would be great to compile my own such posts, just for personal use. I've put a lot of time into writing such posts and dredging up old memories and if ilx were to disappear for whatever reason, all that would be gone.

Scrolling through 5 posts at a time for any reason is a real pain in the ass though.

Eh okay.

Just an idea, anyway.

No, it's kind of a nice idea, but the thought of seeing 10,000 of my own posts... *shudder*

You and me both, buddy.

thirded

I understand that I could search for posts by my login i.d.

This doesn't seem to work for me anymore - I only get posts where other people have used my full name instead. Any chance this could be fixed (or otherwise explained to moron me)?

On the plus side, my attempt did flag up some wags making fun of me on another board during my early days here. Nice touch, guys.

haha

I can search under your display name, ismael

I would like the accumulated texts of my posts to be presented in the shape of jean luc picard's facepalm pose. My guess is his would be about 3 minutes of coding.
