I was trying to write a GM script to locally save my existing bookmarks so that I could reset my read/unread threads by deleting all my bookmarks, but to little success. Is the SID a required parameter in the Ajax call?

also going someone returns you to that post not the top of the page

also a y/n on a users profile to let you know if yr SB for them is currently active

why would that latter be useful?

just fp them anyway to be sure, it only takes a second

option for FP to be constant then

I will fuck you on the permafpost

Leee: yes, but also you can delete all your bookmarks from http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/BookmarksControllerServlet

my number one feature desire is still ways to sort bookmarks by name/date updated/maybe even thread starter?

that should be greasemonkey/userscriptable even without the intercession of stet (not that this helps you immediately anyway, just an observation)

stet, thanks, but deleting is the easy part: I'd also like to be able to restore all my bookmarks without doing it manually!

I love ILX

You'll need to extract the SID to use in your script; the SID will only work for ten minutes before it expires and a new one needs generated; also, it'll only work for you, but that ought not be a problem.

Any easy way to get the SID, or do I have to load a thread to find it?

Yes you'll have to load a thread.

Although only once as long as you use the SID quickly enough.

increase the maximum number of poll options

you can't poll box sets

poll them by disc

then one final poll w/ top 10 results from each volume to find the true number one

then repeat for 49 more box sets and poll all the winners for the ultimate box set track

it's "the book of love" treeship

increase the maximum number of poll options

ugh, no, 50 is too many as it is for OPO polls

Being able to enter 1st, 2nd, 3rd choices would be better.

polls shouldn't be threads. They should be pop ups. You are required to vote in every new poll before you may read threads. A password to the threads is provided after the polls.

While in a thread, there should be a scrolling marquee with poll updates

I miss the limitless poll options.

Favorite Guided by Voices or Guided by Voices related song

a tool to run borda-count polls as is the common ballot poll format on ilx would be pretty cool and something I've periodically considered writing but I don't write code for fun anymore

otm

what ilx needs is more popups

we were promised avatars

read that thread the other day I was otm in it as usual

thx 4 pointing that out

I didn't know if you'd had time to read it all thought you'd appreciate a precis

ya i mean i wasnt planning on reading it

i wanted to poll "the brit box", the box set of british indie c. 1980-1999 that everyone hated

THE BRIT BOX POLL

DO U HATE IT?

-YES
-IT IS BAD
-I AM BRITISH

i can't turn my poll into a box set

I've finished my GM script to reset a user's read threads -- if there's any interest, I'll share it, but where to upload it? userscripts.org is dead.

I'll wait for a non GM script you Monsanto devil

General MIDI Level 1 Instrument Patches #80-103

Image hosting so that you could more easily post pics and not have as many dead links. Has this not been done because of costs?

http://imgur.com/ !

imgur will probably be sold in the next 2 years to some major

Pretty much costs Je55e. We shift an amazing (to me) amount of bandwidth and that's just text.

how does ilx bandwidth compare to other message boards? it seems like there are a billion phpBB forums out there, and ilx is relatively clean and feature-free by comparison (or so it seems to me). is our bandwidth exceptionally large for some reason? audience size?

fuckin post length

I'd love to know what sort of page views other big forums get, does anyone know? we used to be quite high up a list of biggest forums, but the sourcing on that seemed suspect to me.

Emoji support anytime soon? As in, it is possible to post/create threads w/ emoji unicode characters in them
