Ideas for ILX

^^^ love this idea

make a nabisco post read like deeznuts wrote it

ILX should say "Your bookmarked thread has new answers" when I first open the page if in fact one of my bookmarked threads has new answers

maybe I could choose from some celebrity voices, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger's or Ned Raggett's, so it feels like I know a celebrity

ty for the support, mac dragh. But if I could just upgrade your account to ILX GOLD, I wouldn't have to say it tbh

I don't know if this is feasible, but some way of tagging threads? Non-obtrusively. You only see the tags if you want to. You can browse by tag.

Didn't there used to be drop-down menu for categorizing threads? Not by board, but by "Politics & Govt", etc.

Noize board had their own, like FFZZZZZZZZZZ NO CAN DO or whatever.

Yeah, there were categories in the old pre-Keith code, but I don't know how useful they were. But being able to give a searchable tag to threads that have comedy/unsearchable names would be nice.

• Bring back Ask Chaki

remove "ask" from that sentence and there you go

what if we brought back chaki but he was only allowed to post on the ask chaki board

think abt it

sometimes at night, when ilx is most quiet, you can still hear chaki zing

You made that sound like the title card of a Wire episode.

a way to ask for 77 access that works

ILX soda

jumpsuits

done

hire hoos as ilxor big data analyst so we can evaluate long-term trends in ilx posting habits, determine the optimal day of the week for your polls to end

No.

ilx barge off the coast of san francisco to showcase cutting edge 2014 ilx tech

ilx t-shirts that list your personal "top 5" posters

ilxor island

ilxor space station (and grill)

Ban 'em all, let mods sort 'em out.

mandate that every poster flag at minimum five posts per day or else five FPs are automatically added to their account

everyone should leave, leave forever and never return.

ilx should start all over again with a new colony of whoever finds us.

maybe leave idk cankles here dormant, like in alien.

nb this idea was best carried out a year or two ago, obv.

this place is not a place of honor

more nothing beside remains tbh

basically we need to add twelve hours to every day so I can follow ilx and post to it

i'm sure this will require some complex work to the rotation of the earth and gravity and stuff like that but it makes sense

^ tuomas mode of request iirc

this place is not a place of honor

profound lol

Less awesome ads for non-logged-in users, please. Why should they get the bonus content?

a way of turning off bookmarks until the previously bookmarked thread is back on-topic and not full of talk about, say, pizzas.

I want the inverse of that

suggest chipotle

Out of curiosity, how often does the tracking for read threads get reset? More in the spirit of this thread, can we give an option for users to mark an entire thread unread?

It's not really a length of time - gets a bit technical this. Each user's information is cached when they use the site in what's known as a "least-recently used" cache. This means that each time you do anything on the site, your data gets stuck at the top of a long list. If you don't use the site, you'll slowly drop down the list. If you don't use it for some period of time (unclear as to how long, since it's dependent on how many other people are using it), then you'll eventually drop off the bottom of the list and the information is lost at that point.

i have an idea, how about getting rid of that dumb code that obscures email addresses and makes them unreadable to both spambot crawlers (if those still exist) and human beings alike

denied

like why not make it space out the email address or something so you can still see what it is

i had an idea for ilx last week but now i can't remember it :/

what's an email address.

was it adjusting the search results so that it displays how many messages are in each thread, which would help people to identify the most popular/relevant thread for a particular topic when conducting searches?

no but that's a cool idea!

I want to browse threads chronologically by board

zing android pls!
