> it's tough to remember whether it's watch question mark vee equals or equals vee watch question mark and hand-code appropriately.
This could be eased by adding an example to the 'formatting help' text.

idea: ilx clippy, a helper on every single screen who pops up and lets you now how they can help

it looks like you're trying to post a truncated youtube link, is that correct?

Youtube used to helpfully have an option to get the long link from the share button which was compatible with the ilx embed code. Now it doesn't. Lots of us use mobile devices now, some of us exclusively, so it's hard to get long links. Pissing around with 'watch question mark vee equals' etc results in threads full of unplayable black boxes.
It would make sense for the site to now support the shorter links for embeds (and for users/sic to be able to disable them).
Also add autoplay...

Or just add the correct syntax instructions to the "Show formatting help" text.
Currently all it says is:
For Tweets, or YouTube/Vimeo videos: Paste in the URL of the tweet or the page containing the video you wish to embed
― didgeridon't (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 5 November 2020 18:15 (three years ago) link
Those instructions from a youtube app rather than a desktop browser would still be 5 steps to inevitable black boxes
Copy the link from the share button on the app, change youtu.be to youtube.com, we can't remember if this bit needs www or not, oh wait we forgot to remove the s from the http bit lol that's a pain in the arse to click your cursor into with a wee phone screen, right, now delete everything after the dot com and type watch ? = then the character string you just deleted and it's case sensitive now just cover your eyes and hit submit oh shit you forgot the forward slash or is it a backslash hang on

this sounds like a GREAT move for threads with 120 embedded videos, stet you should definitely get distracted from silby's bookmarks idea
― @oneposter (✔️) (sic), Thursday, 5 November 2020 19:22 (three years ago) link
we used to have autoplay tho -- there was one thread that was whiney-adjacent that used it to hilarious result
― sarahell, Thursday, 5 November 2020 20:12 (three years ago) link
the only good use of autoplay (possibly on the entire internet!) is uppers.gif
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 5 November 2020 20:26 (three years ago) link
oh yeahhhhhh at one point it would autoplay on the admin log. that made me happy.

silby i've done the bump-all-bookmarks thing, there's a new link at the top of the bookmarks page.
(well, it will be there after the next server restart — i'm not doing it right now because it's a ten-minute outage and what if they call this fucking thing)
― stet, Friday, 6 November 2020 22:50 (three years ago) link
Causing the call to happen by restarting would totally be worth it.
― scampo-phenique (WmC), Friday, 6 November 2020 22:52 (three years ago) link
Is there even a They to call it?

it looks like either twitter's coding, or ILX's embed coding, has changed such that deleted tweets no longer get preserved when embedded :(
― huge rant (sic), Thursday, 10 December 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
Still seems to be working like before, can you link a broken post?
― stet, Friday, 11 December 2020 01:09 (three years ago) link
cursed images: let's get together and pin down the aesthetic!
and
END TO END BERNERS: The Official Bernie Sanders 2020 Crew thread
both have similar trackery code thingies on the end, but the tweet urls don't load with those stripped either
― huge rant (sic), Friday, 11 December 2020 01:28 (three years ago) link
Ah - I think what might have happened there is the tweet was posted after it had been deleted. If it’s posted before deletion we get a copy of the text and store it in our DB. After deletion we can only store the link. We only have the link in both those cases. Strange that two have happened like that, though.
― stet, Friday, 11 December 2020 13:22 (three years ago) link
Yeah, it was seeing them both happen an hour apart that made it look like a pattern. Cheers!

Not sure if someone already asked this, but the ability to cross-post threads across boards would be cool. For example, this one:
What are your kids listening to in 2021?
would be good on ILM and IL People-Making.

anyone with even slight edgelord tendencies who has any sort of public profile should really set their tweets to auto delete how many examples must be made

ban any thread titles including the words "Joe Biden" as for some reason they always turn into furious FPfests

Maybe automatically remove the fbclid from embeds since posters can't seem to do it themselves.

re: new "Q" thread, maybe we have reached critical mass for ever-elusive ILP board?
I think it's evident that we all have different thresholds for politics threads and need the occasional break...the option to section them off for that purpose alone would be super helpful

Maybe change the link in this poll message to go to SNA instead of the borad list?
"You have already voted in this poll and cannot vote again.
Return to Front Page"

If not sna then current borad new answers or back to the thread. Board list seems the least useful option.
― The Man DeLorean (onimo), Friday, 5 February 2021 00:41 (three years ago) link
that's what you deserve for trying to vote twice in an ilx poll!!!!
actually, i don't care really ...
― sarahell, Friday, 5 February 2021 01:10 (three years ago) link
Sometimes you forget you already picked a bread.
Ideal for ilx: if I've already voted show me my vote on screen and maybe allow me to change my mind
(I realise I'm probably attempting to ruin the board with pointless improvements now, like how Spotify can never stick with something useful)
― The Man DeLorean (onimo), Friday, 5 February 2021 01:15 (three years ago) link
it should just show which bread you picked. Only the bread.
