Ideas for ILX

I thought images were already limited to 600 pix wide.

If it's any larger, it gets compressed.

1920 x 1080

depends on your stylesheet

caek.css allows huge ass images

Still hoping for "hide thread" and also a way to "mark thread as unread" or whatever's needed so I can get rid of the little circles instead of dots next to threads that I never wanted to look at but clicked accidentally.

caek.ass

I am always confused when people say "sorry hueg," bc images are never hueg for me. Sorry if I unwittingly poest huegs.

Can we also auto correct hueg to huge?

Similarly, cuet to cute.

or Jeff to ban

"Ban, Ban, It's me Ban. She can't see me Ban, only you can Ban, only you!"

I'll take it!

Would give $20 right this minute for a "Hide Thread" function.

Make it $40

easy enough with a greasemonkey script.

but for a quick fix if you're using firefox install 'adblock plus' and 'element hiding helper' and use it to block the <a> tags with the thread titles in question.

great

now i just need a 'translate post' functionality

Skipping 769 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

Um, how about an additional ".. or click here for the last 100 messages"

Because I just wanted to see what was said about "Get Carter", not 769 more messages with loads of d/l pics, etc.

permalink post just after the break then click on previous page. but yeah, i agree that an option like the one you mention would be nice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

xp

permalink trick doesn't always work for some reason

I did search for "Get Carter", dated yesterday, posts only, and got pretty much the functionality I was after.

That's all right, but other times you aren't going to know what was said on the last few messages before the 'Skipping' bit ends.

> I did search for "Get Carter"

i'd like the text box to get focus when clicking onto the search page.

could "show images" be on-page rather than or, in addition to, being in preferences? i shift between the two very regularly either image or youtube-heavy threads. maybe others do, too?

Actually that is a good idea yeah

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

how about 'click here for the last 100 messages not counting ones that just say ^^^^^^.'

More than one bookmark to a thread, like you can do with a book. Sometimes I want to keep my place, sometimes I want to mark a post to go back to.

I think the current implementation for handling long threads works just fine - i.e first 50 or so posts, the big red box with "skipping 769 messages" in the middle, and the last 50 or so after it, with the option to get the whole thread both at the top and on the skip bar. If the post I'm looking for isn't already displayed, I'm probably not going to know if it's in the last 100 or the 100 before that, so I'd want to load the whole thread anyway.

Well on that note, a tagging system of some kind could be handy. Or bringing back the categories, at least. xpost

a tagging syste of some kind = bookmarks?

No I mean tags like word/subject tags.

unless I completely misunderstand how bookmarks work (i've nevr used them)

no, that's not how they work

maybe i don't mean multiple bookmarks, but something like starring in gmail so i can easily view those posts later

I'd like to like comments.

Cosign on the load last 100 messages idea. Some threads get restarted and I'll see xxx thread has 122 new answers, would love to go to the start of the revive in that case without loading a whole thread.

Display messages _____ to _____

...could be a thing, i dunno

Option to always display everything. Especially on mobile.

could "show images" be on-page rather than or, in addition to, being in preferences? i shift between the two very regularly either image or youtube-heavy threads. maybe others do, too?

I like this idea. I've wished for something like this when I accidentally clicked the rip nsfws thread at work.

that would be very useful

imo that would solve the "load back 100 pages" problem, as well: there's virtually no wait time on even the longest threads with images off (especially on the new server)

no but you still have to track down where the 50th most recent message is and work backwards from there

I still want a spoiler tag!

free doughnuts on mondays

it would be very cool if there were a box, somewhere near the "submit post" button, that i could check that said something to the effect of "update bookmark" or something - the issue is that there are times where for whatever reason i haven't read all the most recent posts in a fast-moving thread, but i want to make a quick comment or respond to a particularly recent post - it is currently impossible to do this without losing my bookmark some x posts upthread, since posting in a thread which i've bookmarked automatically moves the bookmark to my post. i want there to be a way to make a post without losing my place, so i think there should be a box (and 'checked' should be the default) that gives me the option to keep my bookmark in its place and still post a message

There's a workaround for that, no? I.e. load your bookmarked thread, open the bookmarked post's permalink in a new window/tab, make yer post, then go to new window/tab and re-bookmark.
