Ideas for ILX

A link to a quoted post could be nice. It could tie in with my idea of links (buttons?) for quoting and formatting like we have on Zing. My right pinky sucks at typing brackets and stupid Chrome doesn't have a BBCode extension.

on firefox, maybe others, you can just drag the "Permalink" link to the "Add A Post" box

dude

Ideas for ILX

oh cool

also, duh

man that is my tip of the week, that Ideas for ILX

Every time I click on Ideas for ILX or Ideas for ILX, I get nothing.

this thread ending up as a moebius strip is kind of too obvious self parody

Not sure if this idea has been posted yet, but on the search results screen, it would be cool if it also listed the total number of answers for each thread. it could come in handy when a specific topic (e.g., james brown) has many threads and you're wondering which one is the "main" thread.

I like that.

Yes, that'd be cool.

Great idea.

I find it helpful to open a bunch of them and look at the tone and content of the discussion in those instances

I hate to be negative, but I would like an ability to hide specific threads. I don't know if it's feasible at all, just throwing the idea out there.

i would really like that as well

what if poll closing dates didnt turn red until x hours/days before

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?

flopson suggested this some time back and I still think this would be massively handy, if it is at all easily done.

ZING ZING ZING

we need badge notifications

and we need search function for zing

Yeah zing not having search, or the random function, is slightly frustrating for me. I use random when I'm bored but thats usually when i'm in bed and thus, using my iphone :( I know stet explained something on the zingthread as to why its not there but I forget now.

I thought of one this morning: if the default search results ordering option was "newest first" rather than "most relevant first". I dunno, I guess there could be some argument for the way it is, but that's not how I use search.

being able to hide threads from boards we don't care about (like, I really don't give a hoot about cricket, NFL, baseball etc) would be awesome.

You want this:

ah i didn't know about that, but strangely I must have seen it before because all the sports threads are unticked and still I'm sure I get a lot of them appearing in my feed. Maybe not?

I get sports threads appearing in my feed on Mobile Device Interface sometimes, but not when I'm ilxing on a computer.

zing you cant customise SNA on i think is why.

ah that'll be it

You can customise SNA on Zing -- just swipe right to left on any board you want to remove, and it'll hide on SNA too.

Still want to be able to page people to threads, by saying @stet what do you think? or something.

Also, spoiler feature.

we've asked for this before and I think Stet was ambivalent but an ipad version would be fantastic

You can customise SNA on Zing -- just swipe right to left on any board you want to remove, and it'll hide on SNA too.

This isnt doing anything for me :/ I have the original freebie ad supported version, would that be why?

Aye, that'll be it, sorry

All good! Got yr message as well, and thanks :)

ugh man pplains spoiler tags are always annoying and poorly implemented, plus then you get arguments about spoiler enforcement and blah blah, creates more problems than it solves

people should when spolarized just think to themselves 'thus is life' and proceed w/an unshakable sense of equanimity

when I read a spoiler I just tell myself "all that will be has become"

'the circle of life is now complete, jah rastafari'

How is having a spoiler tag any worse than when someone goes SPOILER

Here's the thing, dude was fucking his mother.

Also a good way to hide images. "Here's ten pictures from the World ILX Meeting you missed. Click on the spoiler tag to see each one."

OK, instead of a single "Skipping x messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all" link, maybe we can paginate them? For example, if x = 100, then we could jump to page 1 or page 2 (assuming each "page" contains 50 messages).

each page should contain at least 5000 messages tho

So hiding threads is a no go? Just curious.

would pay 20 bucks for zing iPad

What's wrong with the web site?

Be more specific?

Sorry, was reply to the late great. When I first got iPad I kept on thinking "where is app for [website x with iPhone app]?" before realising I could just use the website.

needs retina support

nah j/k

i just thought it would be cool to be able to swipe back and forth and around the way facebook works on ipad or whatever

i find web clumsy because if i miss my click-point i get an automatic zoom in on, i dunno, someone's funny emoji or a date/time stamp or formatting help

i could imagine an iPad zing in the style of the twitter app

or facebook,sort of, w/ boards at left instead of users?
