Ideas for ILX

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!

make zing fill the taller screen of the recent iphones plz, also give zing some memory of where it left off thanking you zing is cool

also make polls work shd take 5 mins

instead of just waiting for someone to say 'new board title' to get the board titles (inefficient)... sell naming rights for each board, and then use the profits to attract new fresh talented millennial posters to the forums

millennials are too lazy and self involved for ilx

fix the bug where auto-hotlinking of URLs automatically leaves off forward slashes if they fall at the end of a URL

(see the first few posts of this thread for an example).

Intersting!

That sounds like it could accommodate a function to let users delete a thread from their read list?

also simple [youtube] and [vimeo] tags that work with any sort of url those sites spit out

It's outdated on their part, but every time I see some sort of embed feature that looks like

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&;source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=ILX+Group,+London,+United+Kingdom&aq=1&oq=ilx&sll=43.087006,-94.236345&sspn=0.014934,0.020471&ie=UTF8&hq=ILX+Group,+London,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.499559,-0.17331&spn=0.023628,0.109616&t=m&layer=c&cbll=51.511495,-0.118601&panoid=eQd5RYGf0PWG272QZAkDtw&cbp=12,153.88,,0,18.75&output=svembed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&;source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=ILX+Group,+London,+United+Kingdom&aq=1&oq=ilx&sll=43.087006,-94.236345&sspn=0.014934,0.020471&ie=UTF8&hq=ILX+Group,+London,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.499559,-0.17331&spn=0.023628,0.109616&t=m&layer=c&cbll=51.511495,-0.118601&panoid=eQd5RYGf0PWG272QZAkDtw&cbp=12,153.88,,0,18.75" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>

I get a little disappointed that I can't use it here.

ugh what is wrong with u ppl

idea for ilx: make all embedding impossible

TEXT OR GTFO

Why are you so ansi, theyre only asciing

I want to browse threads chronologically by board

done
http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/RecentQuestionsControllerServlet?boardid=44&offset=500
just change the offset number to jump around

why is it that when people link to other threads, i often have to log in again?

There's both a ilxor.com and a www.ilxor.com and

two addresses running the same site i think (NB i am internet-illiterate), i've been getting that a bit lately, some of you heathens are obviously using the wrong address, i know who you are

or what dayo said

why

because you run your normal account against www.ilxor.com and your sock on ilxor.com

wh3rd vs p3r

remember when you had to type ♥ to make a heart on ilx
