Ideas for ILX

k3v zing is really the best.

i don't really know where to put this and it's not really an idea for ilx but i switched to keith's newold css thingy and i'm getting quite used to it. actually, i quite like it. it's the first stylesheet that hasn't sent me back running to old.css. i just have one slight quibble: for threads longer than 100 posts, the whole "skipping x messages" is barely different from the rest of the text, so when you're quickly going down the page you miss it. and for words in quotes, the ' is written over the first letter of what's being quoted so you can't really see it.
anyways, cheers keith for newold.css, it's nice !

^agree with that, the compliments as well as the tiny nitpicks

I will never stray from keith.css. I don't see how you can read ILX without the highlighted div's.

can already see who the divs are just fine

still on swiss

Did the hollow bullets for threads you've read get turned off?

(I seem to remember this happened once before and there was a reason for it but I'm not finding any posts about it with a quick google so eh)

OK, never mind, they just got reset, as happens fairly often, and I am being too tired and dumm to notice that my threadkilling spree is insufficient to make the newly-visited ones hollow

(coughs, shuffles out)

it would be cool if we could drag pictures into the text box like imessage or gmail

I would like to be able to change my associated email address. Ilx is the only place left where I use the damn thing.

I agree, Jeff.

I tried emailing Keith about it but never got a reply.

messaging Keith*

I would like to be able to change my associated email address.

Well, yes. There's that. Me too. But I have a hunch that if were easy, or even just moderately difficult, it would have been done ages ago.

My ilx email address stopped working several years back. I am such a hermit it hasn't exactly cramped my style to be unreachable unless someone started a thread with ATTENTION AIMLESS in the title, but there have been a couple of times I know ilxors have tried and failed to send me email.

wait you haven't been getting my weekly tirades of abuse?

That's the postal service for you

Not a one, but from time to time I find flecks of spit on my screen. From inside. Was that you?

coudl well be, if you upgraded to hd i'd have a decent chance of getting a swing in i reckon

suggested this one before (actually before facebook started doing it!!!)

a "like" thing for the posts

when "like" reaches over a threshold, it goes automatically onto "the" excelsior thread. it would improve the consistency of the excelsior thread i reckon.

also if there can be a button to enable a "page view" mode. so you can see only 100 posts or something but with a

1 | 2 | 3 | ... | 9 | 10 | last

link to navigate through the pages? it should not be the default option to use, but would help say when trying to find a specific post that the search function doesn't find (e.g. if it doesn't contain a particularly searchable word)

or maybe a "find in this thread" option..

delete 77

I keep wanting this and then thinking it'll just become a karma-whoring mess

Xp ctrl-f?

ctrl-f only works if you load every single post in a thread?

try do this in the premier league thread with a samsung n210...

solid idea imo, I have a bunch of Bill Hicks youtubes and links to hipster hate blogs that the lurkers are gonna go crazy for

button should be OTM instead of like.

What if we called those likes "up votes" instead?

make ilf an invite-only private board

I fought for your right to exist- now follow me in the fight for independence

only if we get to take the rolling football thread with us.

ilf divided will never be at peace.

i propose that the treaty as i see it is the best solution that can be brought from any negotiations, i see it as a starting point to a unified ilf and i say any poster that holds out for any more now is a traitor

at this point cd i ask whether your vision is more Helm's Deep or Jonestown, deems?

you ask that like there wasn't any other way jonestown could have ended- all i ask is a little faith

hey i'm good either way

will you scotsmen shut up about soccerball?

Hey I was just thinking it would be nice if when you searched, the page would tell you not just when the threads were started but when the last post was. That way, for example, if there are three threads on ILM about a certain band that just put out a new album, you can see which one people might have been talking about the new album on.

this is still a really good idea btw

or being able to see in the search results how many answers a thread has so you can automatically open the most popular relevant thread

yeah, some kind of sorting by most posts maybe

You guys really hate clicking huh

do you like clicking?

does anyone really enjoy the act of clicking?

http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

i remember that bubble wrap page where you could click the bubbles and pop them. would rather ilx was less like that, though, on the whole

On August 18th, Orteil announced that the game had been receiving an average of 200,000 players per day.

does anyone really enjoy the act of clicking?

I wouldn't say enjoyed, it was a harrowing film but worth watching

just to document previous support for what n/a mentioned:

Idea: for each result that shows up in a thread search, display total # of posts + time stamp for last post

I like that.
