Ideas for ILX

the only good use of autoplay (possibly on the entire internet!) is uppers.gif

oh yeahhhhhh at one point it would autoplay on the admin log. that made me happy.

I may not have been entirely serious...

:)

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)

Causing the call to happen by restarting would totally be worth it.

Is there even a They to call it?

I've heard there's nothing expected before 7p ET so I'll do it now

nice

it looks like either twitter's coding, or ILX's embed coding, has changed such that deleted tweets no longer get preserved when embedded :(

Still seems to be working like before, can you link a broken post?

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

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.

Yeah, it was seeing them both happen an hour apart that made it look like a pattern. Cheers!

after my billionth fail: some "did-you-mean" warning at use of the very most common html-tags? <i>fail</i> <b>fail</b>

very low priority, but sure nice to have

Preview post option would be nice to have.

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

This but for here pls, also make it retroactive pls

Parker embeds

Parler embeds.

(And post editing for when autocorrect fucks up your jokes)

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

in the event this ever does happen I would like to suggest "IHP"—nobody in their right mind *loves* politics

I mean I’d take a “hide thread” function on zing either

Q will outlive joe biden, even though he is Q, imo

no doubt

*nods*

mmmmmmmhmmm!

I Love Politics board redux - this time with feeling!

Where is the I Love Big Butts board that Esteban Buttez requested years ago

I Can't Help Engaging With Politics (aka I CHEW P)

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"

syac

I respect any regular who chooses not to use SNA.

If not sna then current borad new answers or back to the thread. Board list seems the least useful option.

that's what you deserve for trying to vote twice in an ilx poll!!!!

actually, i don't care really ...

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)

it should just show which bread you picked. Only the bread.

Poll options should, post result, retain their original order in a bracket or s'thing because doofuses like trís will persist in referring to them throughout the thread as "the first option" or etc and it makes a balls of it once they reorder

the FP thread had a lot of this problem as well, and it wasn't treeshie's fault.

Im entering an irrational anger item itt right away that you have given trís a nickname as long as his name

Ok here’s one: I would love to be able to post-date a post to go up at a later time/date. Reason: many times I see a bookmark refreshed and it reminds me to post something about the topic. However, that seems kind of rude to the first refresher. It would be nice to be able to write my post but give the first refresher at least a few hours before stomping on their post.

SNA is like 77 in that I just completely forgot it was there.

xp - it would also be really useful to people running polls so that they could schedule results rollouts ...

man would it ever.
but i understand if that pony isn't an easy one to saddle.

^^^^

Is it possible to return search results either sorted by "last updated" date or have that info included with the post's "started on" date? Would help in using the "proper" thread, where the title isn't enough.

do spaces or carriage returns, or both, break "hidden text" tags?

Underworld - Classic or Dud?

(if it's possible to have returns, and a mod feels like fixing that, please do)

ah, I see the problem - will fix. (The search thing is more difficult)
