Ideas for ILX

(but only because ILX is set up for a specific youtube link format. it could be change to (or to include) the new shortened urls too, but i'd prefer if it didn't.)

And so many other messageboards.

As long as they're not autoplaying, they've never bothered me.

You can still get the old format url in the address bar of your browser, but I don't know whether or not they're just going all youtu.be in the future or not.

It'll suck for them if the dictator of Belgium ever gets overthrown.

Cheers sunny. I've got Atomic but don't use it due to it rendering all sorts of websites stupidly.

Scrap the radio-button polls and introduce rank-your-top-3-choices.

let us embed a lil jquery in a post plz

next ilx music project should involve songs based on ilx memes. i want to compose a tearjerker called "I can't turn my face into a heart"

YES

I reckon we could get a good rave tune out of 'Tuomas Sundae'.

a high calorie version of ruby tuesdae

some sort of dance track called "Classic or Dud" could be the next "Born Slippy"

DO IT DELL, MAKE IT HAPPEN

is it possible to do automatic embeds for other sites the way we have for youtube? mostly thinking soundcloud and vimeo

not at the moment

vimeos would be lovely

I call "Str8 Furnace"

vimeo and soundcloud both would be fantastic.

Would RSS feeds for individual threads be a "big ask"?

would be grebt if you could do a threads search ordered by last updated date, instead of created.

^^^^^^^^^ THIS

ILX+

MAKE IT HAPPEN INTERNET 3.0

When creating polls, maybe the end date could be changed so that instead of putting in an absolute end date, maybe the user could put in a relative end date (i.e. 7 days from now)? </provincialist American>

ability to automatically suggest ban anyone who ever posts in a specific thread

Bookmarks that only come up for poll results and not for all the inane chatter leading up to it.

"Find posts by user ___________ in threadid _________"

Would streamline the "fuck you, I didn't say that, show me where I said that" process imo.

I'd be down for that too, but in the meantime, text:"stripper" AND displayName:frogbs still works for me.

sorry if suggested already but I would like something like this for windows 7

a pythonista could probably rewrite that script using the ILX API

stet, welcome to this thread!

I was totally here like 2 years ago

Any chance any of the ideas here that involve code might happen?

• get rid of SB

No way! That's like saying to science "get rid of indeterminism"

• auto SB for anybody who says get rid of SB

i will take a SB if it meant no one else would get SB'd. i'm basically jesus

some of them are already in testing. xp

I don't like scrolling down a thread and seeing thousands of Suggest Ban links, one next to every post, daring me to find fault with someone's ideas even before I've taken the time to read them. it's ugly, it's redundant, it breeds unconscious hostility. why not move the Suggest Ban link to people's profiles, so that you only see it when you click on a particular user's name?

my hostility's pretty conscious tbh.

anyhoo, let's make this serviceable thread into a 1,000 post SB clusterfuck, we haven't had one of them for a while.

you could use strategically-placed post it notes to cover up the offensive links

can i get ILXBeta

what's the criteria for sb

what, my criteria?

dunno if i've got time, Con Air's on at half past 9

I don't know who you are (should I care?) but I guess I want a consensus

I don't know who you are (should I care?)

SB'd u for that

I guess I want a consensus

possible readings

A) no such thing
B) for outrageous/offensive statements
C) for annoying people you no longer want to see posting on ilx

what's the criteria for sb

think you collected a few in the thread about annoying colleagues thread, so that's one criterium tbh

fine.

I didn't sb you, wolves. But just sayin'.
