Have found myself wishing for "show tweet text in tooltip bubble on hovering over twitterlink" functionality, but also realise that a) ppl can attach like attachments and pics and stuff to tweets nowadays??? b) only really makes sense on actual computers and not so much on other devices, and c) in that case maybe I should just look into writing a greasemonkey script myself or something

Autoreplace "overrated" with "erotic" or "smangtastic"

problem there is probably yr mouse, check the click buttons to see why they keep going off over threads you dont wanna read

You got me all wrong; my problem is not enough trump talk, I want a whole board

Make a new thread called "i love/hate politics," move all political discussion there, and somehow ban me from posting on it, reading it, or seeing it. I came here in 2013 to talk about books and music i don't know what the fuck happened

Also music

a way to sort search results by the number of posts in each thread. i'm trying to bump the most frequently used grateful dead thread to talk about the new doc, but there's a million threads and in those cases it would be super useful to be able to just pick the one that has the most posts
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
darkstar thread iirc
― j., Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:41 (six years ago) link
thread post count is a good idea
― niels, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:44 (six years ago) link
xpost yeah? thanks!
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:45 (six years ago) link
i guess the "thanks!" applies to both j. and niels there, haha
i've mentioned the thread post count thing a few times over the years, and each time i can't remember if i've been told that it's not possible for some reason or another. but it sure would come in handy
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:46 (six years ago) link
There's the choice between oldest, newest, and "most relevant" - how's that last one calculated?

Twin peaks thread but nobody allowed to post in it
― passé aggresif (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:50 (six years ago) link
Would be very tough since the number of posts changes quickly and the search index does not. But another massive refactor is probably due anyway.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:50 (six years ago) link
Ah, that makes sense.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:51 (six years ago) link
I will be back in 2 years with the same suggestion, though. Sorry in advance
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link
i was joking, karl, i don't know anything about which thread is longest. post at your peril!!
― j., Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:55 (six years ago) link
Dammit j., bumping the correct dead thread is no laughing matter. I trusted you! Maybe I'll bump a dark star thread anyway just because
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:57 (six years ago) link
cosmic appropriateness is a legit reason for bumping a thread
― j., Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:59 (six years ago) link
s&d , 'should i give a chance', and may 77 all have discussion. the longest is probably the 'giving a chance?' thread i think but may 77 has doc discussion
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:59 (six years ago) link
I posted about it a couple of months ago--not on the documentary thread, so I must have used one of those million Grateful Dead threads. Interested in what KM thought about it.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
thanks!

"Post at peril" still the leading post strategy, and I'm fine with that tbh.
A crappy search function is what sets ilx apart, makes it unique imo.

totally an unnecessary luxury but it'd be neat to have "drafts" for new threads. i just wrote up a new thread but i need to think about it some more.
