Ideas for ILX

that's a weird-ass format of link you found there, but will add it to the list

Yeah they seem to sprinkle the "feature=YouTu.be" string in all over the URL depending on how you share it.

Thank you!

you could just delete this tbf

I can never remember what a good YouTube URL looks like. There are question marks and equals signs that I can never get straight. It's all fine on desktop since I can load the actual YouTube page and copy the URL. It's tougher on mobile.

Just hit the “share” arrow, copy, and you get a nice clean link like this. Maybe you’re on Android and it’s messier?

But if you do that the youtube doesn't embed, it just appears as a link.

DARK MODE plz

it wouldn't be difficult to modify your favourite stylesheet to be dark and submit that as an alternative. programmatically creating something that'll work for all the current stylesheets would be a challenge.

there are already a couple it you look.

if...

cool, was unaware

the thing with youtube is if the URL is shortened like Tombot's above, it won't embed. shortened = "youtu.be" instead of "www.youtube.com".

sometimes if you post from mobile, it does that, but you can always make the link embed by typing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

and then inserting the latter part of the link right after the equals sign (no space).

so

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= + QHEG7CRBUGA

equals

xxxposts

yeah I already noted that

Thanks, Neanderthal. Would be great if ILX would just parse and embed the links that El T posted.

I think they coded the embed feature before Youtube started automatically shortening its own URLs

Snooze bookmarks

For example if you’re subbed to a thread but there’s a lot of dumb sh1t being posted and you want to wait it out for a week or so

So many "I missed the nominations thread," "I missed the voting thread" and "I missed the rollout" posts make me wish for a Tag function, but I could see that being badly abused. Maybe Tagging plus an opt-out.

People who post those things are dilettantes who aren’t online enough and need not be catered to

I still have all the old-ILX tags somewhere, they could be brought back I guess

(i think he means tagging like @whoever rather than metadata tags on threads)

For that matter if you aren’t routinely namesearching yourself idgi

haven't you only had one username tho, silbs?

Yeah I mean I can find when ppl are mentioning me in threads I’m not in by searching posts for my un and sort by newest first, we already have @ing

I have to do an * to include both, because sometimes I get mentioned by my old un, but there are a bunch of posters who would have to do multiple searches, and some of them have a variety of long-ass names, so they just get referred to by an acronym, or their first name, or a googleproofed version of a first name ...

Poor planning on their part

serve em right tho

False flag post.

ffp-ed

sub board for Irish posters and events and topics of an hibernian nature, min. 50% by blood to mod, but such mod rights to be absolute and automatic on that basis

They could be called...

Ireland’s Own

😎😎😎

no

Who is included by the 50% minimum?

I dunno, i threw it out there as an ideal and without concern as to how it would affect the governance and running of things thereafter

if we could fall out over it that would be wonderful, we'd already have our treaty origin story set

Dev v Collins was the original mod drama

pearse and the lads were the paperthinwalls era

Everybody is required to post as The Amazing Randy.

Identities must be guessed by posting style.

In the interests of constantly improving our democracy (& not lagging behind the labour party) I wld like to make the case for polls with preferential votes (i.e. you can number your choices). However much work wld be involved you know it wld be a storming success.

imagine the excitement of the stats loving silent majority of ilx when they;re able to see multiple rounds of voting w/ options gradually getting eliminated

Separation of embed options so I can keep images on but switch off YouTubes

thread-specific killfile

would settle for built in, nonuserscript killfile on web

stet can you like. make a bug bounty program where we crowdfund specific feature improvements

> thread-specific killfile

this is already possible. the includes at the top of the file list the urls that this script applies to. replace the wildcards with something more specific (boardid and threadid)

ah, cool!

An "I Love COVID-19" board

stigmatize necroposting: it confuses newcomers and makes them think ilx is "old" and "inactive" and "irrelevant"

archive all threads that haven't been posted in for over 6 months

repeatedly bumping old threads with posts that add nothing to the conversation ("cool", "haha", "amazing") = yellowcard

bumping old threads to revive past disputes and/or poke fun at other posters = tempban/permaban

let the mods 👮 be the judge of what is or is not a "great revive"

unban Frederik B

nothing i hate more than forums that fetishise "make a new thread!!!". Great, you have 1000000 threads with six posts in them asking the same question, nice one.

actually this is a lie, I hate a load of things more. wtf
