maybe it would be nice to be able to hide threads?

I had written a GreaseMonkey script that hides thread. It was on another computer, but maybe I can do it again.

What thread would you hide?
― calstars, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:06 (six years ago) link
there's at least one fairly obvious contender floating near the top of ILE since it was started this morning

- the ability to sort search results by date
― calstars, Saturday, 11 November 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link
you can sort the search results by newest first or oldest first,

Brilliant thank you KM!
― calstars, Saturday, 11 November 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link
So I re-made that script for hiding threads. Here it is for anyone who wants it. Obviously you need Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension for it to work. It's pretty rough but it does the job as far as I'm concerned.

Search function already allows a similar level of creepiness without automation.
― El Tomboto, Friday, 29 December 2017 03:03 (six years ago) link
When you search for threads, in the search results maybe the number of posts in a thread could be shown. Not sure if it's worth the effort but I'm just thinking of it being helpful if you're trying to find the most popular threads on topics w/a lot of different threads.
― omar little, Friday, 29 December 2017 03:35 (six years ago) link
yes, has been mentioned before, would indeed be helpful
― niels, Friday, 29 December 2017 07:34 (six years ago) link
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, August 29, 2017 8:40 PM (four months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Also it requires an extra step -- you have to consciously say "ok, I am searching for all of this person's posts" and live with yourself as you sift through that person's scattered posted thoughts looking for whatever it is that you're looking for.
the fact that this is how it's done elsewhere is not persuasive at all for me. one reason i like ilx is because the focus is on the topic of conversation (the thread) instead of the cult of personality that develops (and is developed) by a "follow this person" approach
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 December 2017 14:16 (six years ago) link
agree, ILX was a lot more boring for me when it was a place for buddy time ("jackoff sesh" era) or when people are working through their grudges together (same thing as buddy time imo, in a very male way). many of those posters are gone or post infrequently now and it's considerably less boring here (this is another reason why I find twitter inscrutable as something I'd want to do---it seems entirely people focused and ugh at those people, shameless self-promoters and self-absorbed nincompoops)
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:00 (six years ago) link
Well I just thought it would be a way to see what posters I’m a fan of have been up to. I guess I’ll have to learn how to “live with myself” and not feel “creepy” for wanting to read what they have to say.
― calstars, Friday, 29 December 2017 15:11 (six years ago) link
yeah one of the brilliant things abt ilx design is having the poster at the bottom of the post. you can often tell who it is and you will gradually build up a sense of ppl's voices and opinions, so it's not like pretending we're in some 90s internet fantasy where identity doesn't matter, but you interact as much with the post as the poster and the interface isn't set up to make the poster into more than that - no avatars or post counts or ranks or easy click-throughs to this person's whole history...idk it could survive some additional features in this department but the current mix is really nice imo.

Speaking of, it is still infuriating that on zing, the posters name is on the top. Why can’t these match?
― Jeff, Friday, 29 December 2017 15:19 (six years ago) link
That’s a good point. Zing should do that too

Ha no i meant xp to u
Ilx more boring now.
But i mean if it's creepy it's creepy no arguing with that
― remember the lmao (darraghmac), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:29 (six years ago) link
I guess so! If you were that interested, you could probably follow them on the social media platform of your choice.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:44 (six years ago) link
ilx is just match.com for pseudointellectuals to find each other off board where the interesting conversations are happening
― Mordy, Friday, 29 December 2017 15:48 (six years ago) link
if I wanted interesting off board conversations I'd go to work
but I keep ILE off SNA, I'm really only here for ILM & ILG plus a few ILE bookmarks
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:59 (six years ago) link
Bookmark a user is a cool idea but it would probably lead to people with grudges chasing their nemeses across the boards in order to argue with them.
