Ideas for ILX

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.

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

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

Change date format.

Or I need to move to another country.

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.

^^^ excellent idea

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

html playground bro

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.

now we will need two stakes.

mmmm stake

mmm shake

- remove the cut-down iphone interface now that it's 2011 and iphones are coping with web sites
- please

- add cut-down android interface

what is android

this blunt object i am currently swinging at you runs on it

cosign!

cosign!

for the record, there are phones which are not iphones that still deal with websites poorly. mobile device interface is my savior.

also, cosign on poll ranking and autoreplace hipster.

ppl would just post 'i voted' to get around that, xp

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

the way i've seen this done on...... uh another site, is that if someone has paged you, there's a little (1) at the far right of the top links. (or (2) if two people have paged you). when you click on it, you're taken to your profile page. that page provides a snippet of each post that paged you, with a link to the thread it appears in.

okay well an option to turn off the mobile interface, then.

hey AA - my phone doesn't show a mobile interface for ilx. hmm!

Oh no I meant the cut-down thing that turns images into links and removes JavaScript bookmarking and stuff.

the ways an @ paging system would get abused would be actually pretty hilarious.

Can't help but feel Stet avoids reading this thread. ;_;

i think we should get facebook-style "like" buttons at the end of every post

and when someone gets 51 likes, um...

seems silly

*mark as spam*

well it would probably eradicate "otm" from ilxor's lexicon

It would also stop two-week-old threads being resurrected with "lol"

^^^ excellent idea

Something has gotta be done with these

otm button instead of 'like'?

idk if it's been mentioned, but the ability to embed soundclouds and vimeos.

okay well an option to turn off the mobile interface, then.

AA, pro tip to rid yrself of the mobile version:

download the Atomic Web browser on yr iphone and in preferences set 'Identify Browser As' to 'Safari Desktop'.

xp YES! In 2011, this seems absolutely necessary for ilm at least.

Fuck yes it's absolutely necessary in 2011. ILM w/o vimeos:

i think you need to be able to choose whether you're embedding or not! i honestly prefer links.

if you have images turned off, then video embeds are always links

goolole

has any idea from this thread ever been implemented?

let's find out

- ban captainlorax

The new shortened youtu.be addresses don't auto-embed, so it would be nice if it stays that way.
