Ideas for ILX

doctors HATE this dad who discovered this weird trick for Reading Content

and it's all thanks to trump finally ending obama's dangerous regulations!!

dear diary i always dreamed about it and today it finally happened

sorry i'm not a 90s kid -- idgi

an html code where every signed-in user reads it as their name. so like, you'd type ^^&&^^ and i'd read "treeship," ulysses "ulysses" etc. lot of potential for chaos with this one

we already have that, just type TREESHIP

like this: TREESHIP sure proposed one bad idea for the site!

should be showing up on your end?

hmm not sure how to show you how to do it without it displaying

sorry TREESHIP

uh, that seems too fancy for ILX, that would be more of an idea for the larger, more luxurious MDX

i am bankrolling this idea now

i like this idea a lot - get some VC funding for it, figure out how to monetize down the road

maybe one in 4 times you do it, it says AMERICAN EXPRESS instead of TREESHIP?

what i also like is how much time this is going to save me

KARL MALONE you're gonna love the way you look

I do love the way I look. thanks, ulysses!

thank you, TREESHIP! "you're gonna love the way you look. AMERICAN EXPRESS guarantee it"

It's not working on my end. I typed that text string and it accidentally summoned the souls of the damned, who are currently dragging me down into the pits of dooomommmweti298y4q0hgs

KARL MALONE i wasn't talking to you

YE MAD PUFFIN this thing still has some bugs but I'm Lovin' It

we're going to be so fucking rich

TREESHIP otm, treeship is going to be sorry he walked away from this thread after making the pitch

Okay, I'm back with a new idea: all posts should get the Swedish Chef treatment via the EnCheferizer plugin.

Let me do a quick test.

don't be sorry, KARL MALONE, you didn't walk away, you fucking dropped the mic and retired on top

xp YMP you had a few typos in there (all, via, a couple other short ones)

KARL MALONE there are still some bugs that the ilx team of code-monkeys is presumably working on. Ideally we should be able to state a preference for Jar-Jar, Swedish Chef, or Yoda.

Yoda in beta-testing is.

of course -- all men -- typical.

SARAHELL we got twilight sparkle for the ladies (mostly for the bronies tbh)

uh gross!

SARAHELL the system has auto-flagged you for yucking the system’s yums.
Friendship is magic.

wtf ulysses i never did that, it was TREESHIP!

I've changed my mind about One Thread.

We need two, one for politics and one for whatever the fuck is left.

I would like a "bump all bookmarks" button next to "delete all bookmarks", that retains all my bookmarks but advances them to the latest post. "Mark all as read" in other words.

i would pay a dollar

I'd pay $50

Thats a great idea

welcomeBack()

honestly if bookmarks had been organized/the delete option had been available / this "bump all bookmarks" option had been available, i would never have changed my username

Or maybe just a little bump button next to each bookmark?

If a bookmarked thread is at the top of my screen for a long time and I keep putting off getting caught up, I take that as a sign to remove bookmark.

i like to think of it more as a placeholder, almost like a "save point" for reading, where you can resume where you left off

ohhhhh I had thought at first that this idea would mean you would automatically post "bump" on all yr bookmarked threads.

well if we did that it should post "Did we ever get this sorted?", of course.

It could be cool as a preference option in Zing to have bookmarks auto-update to the latest post, so you don’t have to tap to reset when you’ve caught up (like slack)

Short url support for youtubes would be a gamechanger*

* small but welcome improvement

Would it be possible to add a step to posting whenever youtube.com or youtu.be is detected in the post? "You appear to be posting a video -- link or embed?"
