Put thread title at the bottom of thread's page would be nice!

is there a way of getting view previous page to work consistently when u have clicked a permalink below the fold? often i've just missed the last few msgs & don't need to read the whole thread

god, yes

how about a button on the top bar that lets you quickly switch the style to i-phone style sheet (which I use with my blackberry actually)

also, my old idea posted upthread about having a checkbox under the date range in the search menu for "search for all posts within the past week" or month or year. (so you don't have to enter the date range)

Sorry if already mentioned or technically impossible. When a thread doesn't show all posts, could the collapsed portion of the thread end right before the most recent bunch of posts? So the last collapsed post is 5/25/07 and the visible posts begin with 2/4/11.

This would be good. Sometimes you then load all 3600 messages and discover that you hadn't actually missed any messages, the first unread message was the first after the fold all along, but you had no way of knowing.

What about a separate ILX Marketplace board where people can buy/sell/trade stuff without clogging up other boards?

Groovy Goulet (pixel farmer), Tuesday, 8 February 2011 15:11 (fifteen years ago)

That would be a neat idea.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 15:37 (fifteen years ago)

We should steal an idea and implement a http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/5593/picture2gp4.png feature. Imagine the comedy we could all shovel into those jack-in-the-boxes.

Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 15:59 (fifteen years ago)

would spoil

kkvgz, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 16:01 (fifteen years ago)

hahaha, I can never resist the spoiler boxes on the 2+2 board.

Groovy Goulet (pixel farmer), Tuesday, 8 February 2011 16:23 (fifteen years ago)

Third the marketplace board idea.

Fourth. I'd use it.

Any mod-talk on a marketplace board? It's an idea that wouldn't require any new code. I'd be willing to re-enter the mod ranks to keep it de-spammed.

We could call it I Love Souks.

fyi a workaround right now is to click the permalink of the last post before the 'fold' and then you get another page's worth of posts starting with that one, then repeat ad infinitum for long threads

this usually works but sometimes i get another 'fold' just before that post?

mookieproof, Sunday, 13 February 2011 22:00 (fifteen years ago)

Seriously, the next time something gets coded in, a "hide thread" option would be so appreciated. Like, I want to read I Love Music, but I don't ever want to see the words "Gayngs Chub Licker" again.

Notification when a poll ends, without bookmarking a thread.

ability to font-inize your name, so that all the world will know me in comic sans

automatic scroller

when you open a thread it will automatically start to scroll at about 2 lines per second, no way to stop the scrolling, no way to go back up

when you reach the end you will never be able to click on that thread ever again unless somebody else updates it

Slow lorax loves getting tickled (dayo), Thursday, 10 March 2011 02:25 (fifteen years ago)

once a thread goes over a certain number of posts (like 1,000 e.g.), no one is able to make new posts anymore. instead, they must go back through the thread, find the post that most closely matches their sentiments, and c&p it. this could be combined with an incentive system where once your post is c&p'd 10 times, you lose a SB or something.

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 14 March 2011 20:25 (fifteen years ago)

I endorse both of these suggestions

ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Monday, 14 March 2011 20:26 (fifteen years ago)

I want to be able to change the date format. That is all.

Jeff, Monday, 14 March 2011 20:28 (fifteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

More poll forms would be fun. One that allowed you to rank the options from first to last, say, or just allowed you to tick multiple boxes, livejournal style.

― Gravel Puzzleworth, Saturday, August 1, 2009 3:14 PM (1 year ago)

I really, really, really would love to see this. It would make polls immeasurably more interesting and (imo) accurate.

The Louvin Spoonful (WmC), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 20:36 (fifteen years ago)

i would like an autoreplace for the word "hipster." i don't care what it's autoreplaced with.

Change date format.

Jeff, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 21:23 (fifteen years ago)

Or I need to move to another country.

Jeff, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 21:23 (fifteen years ago)

I'm in fantasy land, but as long as polls exist, it would be nice if you had to post in the thread before voting.. so that it can known that you voted for the nirvana song because it's the only thing in the poll you recognize.

blank, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 21:30 (fifteen years ago)

^^^ excellent idea

The Louvin Spoonful (WmC), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 21:31 (fifteen years ago)

Post preview before it's actually posted, mistakes with formatting images and stuff can be fixed?
Soz if already suggested.

no more (yesterday). just how many hours ago (except in the case of weeks, months and years)

burn me at the stake if you must but it would be great to page people to threads with @username

^that's an excellent idea.
