Stet, would it be possible to change the FP system so that any FP lodged by Poster X against Poster Y automatically replaces any previous FP by Poster X against Poster Y? That way old FPs wouldn't have to be cleared out and a correct, current total could always be found. Not sure if that ever got suggested before.

It would be neat if after a poll ended there was a little asterisk or something next to the option that you voted for, in case you can't remember.
It would also be neat if you could change your vote before the poll ended - sometimes the conversation changes my mind!

Surely this has been suggested before, but a button that updates all your bookmarks to the current moment would be so wonderful. I have not really looked at ilx since September, and while I don't want to lose all my bookmarks, clicking through all of them just to scroll down and click bookmark on the last post is a serious chore.
― Eyeball Kicks, Sunday, 19 December 2021 08:15 (two years ago) link
Haha straight after that I had the idea to go look if there WAS such a button already

Is there a way to search for an exact phrase in ILX search? In Google you can do this by enclosing the search term in double-quotes, unfortunately in ILX search this doesn't work.
― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 8 September 2022 15:23 (two years ago) link
yes it does
― mark s, Thursday, 8 September 2022 15:26 (two years ago) link
If I search for posts containing the term “blue monday” (with quotes), and sort by newest first, then why is the first result a post that mentions Monday (the day of the week) and not the word “blue” at all? Also, if I go back and remove the quotes I get the exact same set of results, so the presence of quotes makes no difference.

― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 8 September 2022 15:54 (two years ago) link
What I did:
Go to Search page
Under Text Search, terms: "blue monday"
Next line, click radio button for "Posts"
Under "Order Results By," click radio button for "Newest First"
Click "Search" button right under that.

If I search for posts containing the term “blue monday” (with quotes)
your browser (phone?) is helpfully converting your straight quotes (") to "smart quotes". suspect the search software wants straight ones.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 8 September 2022 17:03 (two years ago) link
can test by copying this text into the search box rather than typing it yourself:
"blue monday"
on an iphone i think you can force a normal quote mark by holding down the key? these are the wages of ""“aesthetics”""
