Ideas for ILX

stet I'm pretty web design illiterate so I don't really know what the hurdles are to almost any of these (excellent) improvements you've been making

maybe Nas will do a commercial for this one thread initiative to the tune of One Mic

Maybe just make an ILX discord or IRC channel?

Lol just catching up don’t mind me

Actually can't get into the Slack. Can't authenticate.

OH OH IT SUPPORT TIME

let's fucking do this shit

post on the #onethread instead

xxps

poxyfule.slack.com

"Sorry, you entered an incorrect email or password," trying to login using my gmail account. Do I need to be given access?

It's only for the cool kids

One can only aspire

I don’t know how it works tbf

no one does

Maybe just make an ILX discord or IRC channel?

ilx drinking game:

take a drink whenever someone suggests a discord

take two whenever someone points out there's already an ilx slack so really, why would anyone need an ilx discord? slack is really popular with the kids, and with "the kids" i mean "people who are for some reason forced to use it for work"

take three when someone suggests the #onethread

four for emojis

Five for when someone suggests starting such a thread without actually going through with it.

If a Slack admin gets around to it, would love an invite to the server. Let me know if you need my email address, or if it can be sent via ilxmail

should be able to join off this link

Do we take a drink when someone suggests an "I Love Politics" borad?

Ok, y'all are getting unnecessarily harsh now

🤷🏻‍♂️

1. How did we lose "random thread" and can we have it back?

2. "On This Day" function or date search that gives SNA from a particular date.

1. Random threads is still here

1. OK cool how do you get to it from the menus and can I make it use my preferred css?

1. Boards -> Scroll to the bottom -> Revive old threads!

1b. I mean at the bottom of the 'boards' page there's 'random threads', click that and then go nuts reviving etc

Cheers. Doesn't seem to be picking up css but still 👍

NP! Don't know anything about css's though, soz.

I’ve sorted the CSS, it’ll work after the next server restart

Cheers stet

Is there a way to killfile a thread instead of a poster?

not trying to be snarky but...you dont have to click it?

Yes, that's true! But it'd be easier for me not to click it if I could just hide it from view.

jaymc, someone else mentioned exactly that recently...possibly one of the mods? Anyway you're not the only one to request it.

I was skeptical at first but it's actually not a bad idea.

I'm going to start reviving What is it with TEH users of TEH board who insist on TEH posting irrelevant TEH fucking images found on TEH google based on TEHTEHTEH keywords in TEH thread title? it's TEH fucking TEH stupid, asshol every day.

how many times do I have to say it? only visit threads you have bookmarked (and add very few new bookmarks)

^yeah, p much all I've been doing for the last 2 years

I delve into the ilx enthusiasms sometimes, and they’re often good, but I can always search or skim thread titles for something in the zeitgeist to interact with others on that topic. I do not need to think “hey, why is this thread about a musician I never cared about bumped up to the top?” only to click and get drawn into drama! Recognizing bad things that cause you trauma in engaging, and later seeing them and still not engaging... well, maybe hiding threads is actually good

Netflix recommendation thread (for stuff that is worth watching)

lol

a thread where users cast spells at each other and if we're lucky, some of them work

serious suggestion: spoiler tags

very frequently on discord people need to say things that might be disturbing or upsetting to others. it's standard to use spoiler tags in these cases in the hopes of minimizing distress to others

how might those work? hiding the text of the post until click or something?

yes, or mouse-over

add emojis while you're at it

and #onethread

do you mean custom emojis or something else?

#onethread otm
