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

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.
― DJI, Thursday, 6 February 2020 02:54 (four years ago) link
Just hit the “share” arrow, copy, and you get a nice clean link like this. Maybe you’re on Android and it’s messier?https://youtu.be/QHEG7CRBUGA
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 6 February 2020 02:59 (four years ago) link
But if you do that the youtube doesn't embed, it just appears as a link.

DARK MODE plz
― otm into winter (rip van wanko), Thursday, 6 February 2020 05:35 (four years ago) link
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.

cool, was unaware
― otm into winter (rip van wanko), Thursday, 6 February 2020 07:10 (four years ago) link
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

Thanks, Neanderthal. Would be great if ILX would just parse and embed the links that El T posted.
― DJI, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:13 (four years ago) link
I think they coded the embed feature before Youtube started automatically shortening its own URLs

Snooze bookmarksFor 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.

Yeah I mean I can find when ppl are mentioning me in threads I’m not in by searching posts for my un and sort by newest first, we already have @ing
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Sunday, 16 February 2020 18:26 (four years ago) link
I have to do an * to include both, because sometimes I get mentioned by my old un, but there are a bunch of posters who would have to do multiple searches, and some of them have a variety of long-ass names, so they just get referred to by an acronym, or their first name, or a googleproofed version of a first name ...

In the interests of constantly improving our democracy (& not lagging behind the labour party) I wld like to make the case for polls with preferential votes (i.e. you can number your choices). However much work wld be involved you know it wld be a storming success.

this is already possible. the includes at the top of the file list the urls that this script applies to. replace the wildcards with something more specific (boardid and threadid)

stigmatize necroposting: it confuses newcomers and makes them think ilx is "old" and "inactive" and "irrelevant"
archive all threads that haven't been posted in for over 6 months
repeatedly bumping old threads with posts that add nothing to the conversation ("cool", "haha", "amazing") = yellowcard
bumping old threads to revive past disputes and/or poke fun at other posters = tempban/permaban
let the mods 👮 be the judge of what is or is not a "great revive"
