stet/keith question or whoever is in charge of code these days

That's weird. I thought at first it might be that those threads were on boards I had chosen not to display? But unfortunately sports threads still turn up on the blog view even when they're hidden from SNA.

The only thing I've done differently recently is I turned images off due to bandwidth issues. I'll try switching them back on and see if the threads reappear.

Nope, it's not having images turned off.

But unfortunately sports threads still turn up on the blog view even when they're hidden from SNA.

The good folk at I Love Football decided in their wisdom that the English Premier League was so ubiquitous and Bestest League In Teh World that it deserved an ILE audience so you can't hide that without hiding the biggest board.

Ayn Rand is now turning up in blog view! Not that I really needed to see the thread, but it seems like something has been fixed, so thank you, whatever it was that did the trick.

god the people at i love football are twats.

^ at speed, both feet off the ground, studs showing, malicious intent. He has to go, Brian.

not that type of poster

in site new answers, why do the threads link to www.ilxor.com while their boards link to ilxor.com?

does one have an advantage over the other? apparently one needs to log in to both, although bookmarks do cross over . . .

yeah also if an ilx person send you a link to something with "www.ilxor.com" and you're logged in just to "ilxor.com" it doesn't work

yo can we get autoembedded tweets the way we do youtubes?

also vimeo thx

the ilxor.com/www.ilxor.com thing is intentional to let people use two diff accounts at once

I wish autodetected ilxor links would use relative URLs to avoid the problem with cross-links

in site new answers, why do the threads link to www.ilxor.com while their boards link to ilxor.com?

It's just the way I did it - you could call it a mistake. The board link doesn't use what you are currently on, it picks it up from configuration, which is set when an admin (i.e. stet) opens the site. Stet must use ilxor.com so it set the domain to be that. The thread link just picks it up from whatever you're currently set to, so if you're ilxor.com, the thread link will show that, and if you're www.ilxor.com, the thread link will show that.

it would be cool if a poll's options were always displayed at the top of the thread

yeh, it would be cool. floating in the top-right corner in the same space as the "Message Bookmarked" notification goes.

it feels like youtube has really switched shit up in the last year in the way of URLs, making it more and more of a task to find the kind of url

would it be difficult to write a [youtube] [/youtube] bbcode that was happy with any youtube url?

and while you're at it... vimeo?

just curious

should read: "more and more of a task to find the kind of url that ilx code will embed"

If I get a chance, Silby. I actually did Vimeo ages ago because Grady asked, but it's not deployed yet. That has its own challenges, so it won't be in the next month or so, but maybe some time after that, if Stet's got some time too.

Wait a minute, you are Grady. I am out of touch.

hows about an actual tag where people can just put in the 'v' number, rather than an entire link? easier to parse and you get to control the rest of the url

hi

when i'm trying to search by username, its giving me posts that used the term i'm searching, not posts by the username i'm searching

Is working for me with "gr8080" in the lower box, search set to username and posts, or with "displayName:gr8080" in the top box, searching posts

try "a puppy"

or "puppy"

works for me

Works OK here (Win7 / Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m)

I return results for "― milk of the puppy (Jon Lewis)"

uhhh. Windows something. IE number point number

works here as well

weird, i'm getting posts from yesterday with the word puppy in them

can someone make me a sitewide mod?

if you search in the posts-by-a-specific-user box and use quote marks around "a puppy", you get posts with the word puppy in them.

if you search in the top box for displayName:"a puppy" you get posts by a puppy.

so i think it's to do with how the posts-by-a-specific-user searchbox works

gr8080 are you putting a puppy in quotes? it works if you don't.

yeah so if you put quotes around the search term in the user box (even if its a single word) it appears to generate a bunch of text that isnt a username, but if you leave it out of quotes it works.

i think youtube defaults to https now

Bookmark folders?

Stet how many regular users does ILE and ILM get each day?

Also, I know you have said before you can tell 90% of users use SNA, but can you tell how many SNA users have it so they cant see anything from ILM?
ILM seems dead compared to what it was whilst ILE seems busier than ever. I wondered if half of ilx just dont see anything from ILM.

Poll!

Going to c&p gr8080's post from the Milk Carton thread, since it's an issue he has mentioned here before and other posters have been griping about the problem in various threads.

the only way ilx will embed a youtube video is if you use the

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

format. but youtube has tons of different ways to display urls, and recently the default became

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

several other mesage boards have a [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[/youtube]

tag, but we dont

:) gr8080 otm

There used to be a cool feature where when you'd bookmarked a thread it would send you back to the top of the page. Too many people disliked it so it got dumped but I really miss it, it mirrors my behavior exactly. Please pretty please can there be something in the preferences to turn it on or off, default off for those who don't like change? It work or save me a lot of annoying scrolling on my phone.

xp:

Oh yes, my apologies Darragh.

Stet, darraghmac proposed returning the name of Flag Post back to the original Suggest Ban. He feels that the renaming has had a deleterious effect on the slasher film-like, "who will be the next to die get banned" atmosphere of ilx that he deeply cherished.
