Ideas for ILX

Doctor Casino isn't your real name?! FP'd.

are you even a doctor?

I'm muckraking through the Doctor's old posts now and... There's not a lot of doctorly advice there, I have to say

What about whether or not you should hit or stay on 13?

i thought this was the friends w/babies thread for a second and got confused by pplains' post

Did you think it was a corporal punishment post or ... worse?

haha i do not list this on my CV but it's not that hard to make the connection, i was using this handle for a lot of things back in the mid-00s. sigh.

some drunk evening i'll pin down the 3 or 4 sad awful posts i have in mind and plead my case to a mod, thanks y'all!

nah Doc whatever posts you fear being found will be needles in the haystack of your REM posts over years

and that is how it should be, forever and ever amen

at least nobody is associating your government name with a r4ce w4r

Burritos for lunch, it is!

every time the 77 invite request thread gets bumped I wish there was a way to remove all my posts from the depression/anxiety thread. I’m ridiculous, obv.

I stand with the doc

an auto-sic function that strips

fbclid

It could be coded into the website, but as a user (who c&p's urls on here) you can do your part:

chrome-ext: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kill-fbclid/jlmdkcaiejonohbmkgickmkgbpceokmn
firefox-ext: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-fbclid-and-utm/

well I always delete that shit manually, I just want to make it easier for others

Can someone specify all the cruft that should be removed? Is there a handy list somewhere?

i am against this, i don't want sic to lose the sisyphean meaning of his existence, i must imagine him happy

how about a grimly content free conservative troll who couches all his posts in fluffy ambiguity and classic lit references to try and make himself sound cleverer than he is. and repeat for a decade.

i know this is going to seem awful at first but hear me out:

optional notifications for zing. possible options:

- hourly top 5 threads by number of new posts ("or some permutation of that" applies to all of these basically)
- daily top 5 new threads created within the last 24 hours
- when a bookmark that hasn't been posted on in at least a hour gets a new post (conditional there to prevent people's phones from buzzing their pants off when a thread gets a ton of posts all day)

others probably better ideas than that, but those were the first few that came to mind.

some of these might be useful stats/resources on https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/index.jsp too

the one notification feature i’ve always wanted is the ability to @ somebody. sometimes a thread really needs someone.

I like the idea but it seems like it could be abused unless integrated with block system?

ilxbook

$300 isn't cool. You know what's a cool? $800 dollars.

is there a way to message a user through the zing app? I couldn't find a way the other day, and it would/could be useful for FAP organizing?

@ing someone could serve that function (somehow). like maybe an @ creates a new link on a special bookmark page, linking through to the post where you were @ed.

in bookmarks tab, the ability to order/prioritize

A better YouTube link parser is needed (see my multiple posts on the I Think You Should Leave thread for examples), especially for mobile.

that's a weird-ass format of link you found there, but will add it to the list

Yeah they seem to sprinkle the "feature=YouTu.be" string in all over the URL depending on how you share it.

Thank you!

you could just delete this tbf

I can never remember what a good YouTube URL looks like. There are question marks and equals signs that I can never get straight. It's all fine on desktop since I can load the actual YouTube page and copy the URL. It's tougher on mobile.

Just hit the “share” arrow, copy, and you get a nice clean link like this. Maybe you’re on Android and it’s messier?

But if you do that the youtube doesn't embed, it just appears as a link.

DARK MODE plz

it wouldn't be difficult to modify your favourite stylesheet to be dark and submit that as an alternative. programmatically creating something that'll work for all the current stylesheets would be a challenge.

there are already a couple it you look.

if...

cool, was unaware

the thing with youtube is if the URL is shortened like Tombot's above, it won't embed. shortened = "youtu.be" instead of "www.youtube.com".

sometimes if you post from mobile, it does that, but you can always make the link embed by typing:

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

and then inserting the latter part of the link right after the equals sign (no space).

so

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= + QHEG7CRBUGA

equals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHEG7CRBUGA

xxxposts

yeah I already noted that

Thanks, Neanderthal. Would be great if ILX would just parse and embed the links that El T posted.

I think they coded the embed feature before Youtube started automatically shortening its own URLs

Snooze bookmarks

For example if you’re subbed to a thread but there’s a lot of dumb sh1t being posted and you want to wait it out for a week or so

So many "I missed the nominations thread," "I missed the voting thread" and "I missed the rollout" posts make me wish for a Tag function, but I could see that being badly abused. Maybe Tagging plus an opt-out.

People who post those things are dilettantes who aren’t online enough and need not be catered to

I still have all the old-ILX tags somewhere, they could be brought back I guess

(i think he means tagging like @whoever rather than metadata tags on threads)

For that matter if you aren’t routinely namesearching yourself idgi
