"My Recent Poll Votes"

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 00:28 (eight years ago)

Make a new thread called "i love/hate politics," move all political discussion there, and somehow ban me from posting on it, reading it, or seeing it. I came here in 2013 to talk about books and music i don't know what the fuck happened

Treeship, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 00:56 (eight years ago)

New board, not thread

Treeship, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 00:57 (eight years ago)

Ban everyone from posting on it

Also music

tombot otm. treeship, darragh also otms.

an ILM-style ballot poll with nominations thread and elaborate rollout to determine the best emoji

a way to sort search results by the number of posts in each thread. i'm trying to bump the most frequently used grateful dead thread to talk about the new doc, but there's a million threads and in those cases it would be super useful to be able to just pick the one that has the most posts

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:40 (eight years ago)

darkstar thread iirc

j., Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:41 (eight years ago)

thread post count is a good idea

niels, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:44 (eight years ago)

xpost yeah? thanks!

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:45 (eight years ago)

i guess the "thanks!" applies to both j. and niels there, haha

i've mentioned the thread post count thing a few times over the years, and each time i can't remember if i've been told that it's not possible for some reason or another. but it sure would come in handy

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:46 (eight years ago)

There's the choice between oldest, newest, and "most relevant" - how's that last one calculated?

pplains, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:49 (eight years ago)

Twin peaks thread but nobody allowed to post in it

passé aggresif (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:50 (eight years ago)

Would be very tough since the number of posts changes quickly and the search index does not. But another massive refactor is probably due anyway.

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:50 (eight years ago)

Ah, that makes sense.

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:51 (eight years ago)

I will be back in 2 years with the same suggestion, though. Sorry in advance

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:52 (eight years ago)

i was joking, karl, i don't know anything about which thread is longest. post at your peril!!

j., Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:55 (eight years ago)

Dammit j., bumping the correct dead thread is no laughing matter. I trusted you! Maybe I'll bump a dark star thread anyway just because

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:57 (eight years ago)

cosmic appropriateness is a legit reason for bumping a thread

j., Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:59 (eight years ago)

s&d , 'should i give a chance', and may 77 all have discussion. the longest is probably the 'giving a chance?' thread i think but may 77 has doc discussion

global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:59 (eight years ago)

I posted about it a couple of months ago--not on the documentary thread, so I must have used one of those million Grateful Dead threads. Interested in what KM thought about it.

clemenza, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 20:01 (eight years ago)

thanks!

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 20:03 (eight years ago)

"Post at peril" still the leading post strategy, and I'm fine with that tbh.

A crappy search function is what sets ilx apart, makes it unique imo.

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 20:04 (eight years ago)

ilx's backwardness is one of its lovable quirks

seven mambas (m bison), Wednesday, 30 August 2017 02:34 (eight years ago)

all obstacles to reviving discussion of the grateful dead are features not bugs

yellow is the color of some raisins (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 30 August 2017 03:29 (eight years ago)

"jump to most recent revive" at the top of the thread

i.e. to most recent "x years/months pass..."

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 30 August 2017 04:00 (eight years ago)

i like the hunt

j., Wednesday, 30 August 2017 04:02 (eight years ago)

two months pass...

totally an unnecessary luxury but it'd be neat to have "drafts" for new threads. i just wrote up a new thread but i need to think about it some more.

willing to debug/test stuff too if you're in need

brimstead, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 02:25 (eight years ago)

Ban polls and close ilm

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 07:45 (eight years ago)

ban dmac and close ilx

deems to be the final inhabitant and custodian of a deserted ilx, dutifully bumping old threads as he drifts through space awaiting heat death

ogmor, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 12:36 (eight years ago)

Let's not get hasty now chaps

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 12:39 (eight years ago)

maybe it would be nice to be able to hide threads?

this would be dope

Simon H., Friday, 10 November 2017 16:07 (eight years ago)

I had written a GreaseMonkey script that hides thread. It was on another computer, but maybe I can do it again.

Dinsdale, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:05 (eight years ago)

What thread would you hide?

calstars, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:06 (eight years ago)

there's at least one fairly obvious contender floating near the top of ILE since it was started this morning

Simon H., Friday, 10 November 2017 21:08 (eight years ago)

Really? I haven't checked "New Questions" latel – OH GOOD FUCKING GRIEF.

pplains, Saturday, 11 November 2017 03:16 (eight years ago)

- the ability to sort search results by date

calstars, Saturday, 11 November 2017 19:03 (eight years ago)

you can sort the search results by newest first or oldest first,

Karl Malone, Saturday, 11 November 2017 19:04 (eight years ago)

Brilliant thank you KM!

calstars, Saturday, 11 November 2017 19:07 (eight years ago)

So I re-made that script for hiding threads. Here it is for anyone who wants it. Obviously you need Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension for it to work. It's pretty rough but it does the job as far as I'm concerned.

Dinsdale, Sunday, 12 November 2017 20:30 (eight years ago)

Killfile hasn't worked for me in awhile. On Chrome.
