stet/keith question or whoever is in charge of code these days

fuck washing a hat editing a link

serious question Tomboto when is the last time you contributed anything to any discussion except parachuting in to shit on ilx or a specific ilxor?

The search link is available right at the top of the screen when the site is viewed on most .css stylesheets.

Valuable and cherished contributor to rolling 77 boss thread for starters

(bosses of ilx unite lol)

I don't have a problem personally it's just like goddamn if you have such contempt for the place and everyone who posts here, like you don't have to look at it

Which he doesn't, which the search function would tell you.

idk he has done horrific things in the sneaker thread

i have never understood how accurate the "most viewed threads" info is. When it says 7189 reads in the past 5 minutes, that means 5000+ people are currently viewing the thread? It just doesn't seem possible we have that many lurkers at any given time.

Would a lot of those not be search engines or something?

that makes sense. I guess i'm wondering if there's a formula of some kind i'm missing.

Looking at the code, I think the "5 minutes" bit is wrong - I suspect this is an hourly figure. (The 5 minute trigger doesn't clear the read counts). Needs a bit of attention though to be sure - eg it's clearly not counting the referrers from the site. Will dig into it when I get a mo.

just posting here to say that the issues I've had for years with my bookmarks not syncing across devices and apps no longer seems to be a problem. Not sure if that is due to changes with ILX or what, but it's a big relief for me.

Why can't I paste this thread URL into ILX? I get "an error has occurred, turn back you poxy fule". Just like old times!

(I link-proofed the URL)

"$900 Grandmothers aka Out Of Print Book Price Sticker Shock: Post Yr Links Here"

Out Of Print Book Price Sticker Shock

i had the same problem... something about the dollar sign maybe which stopped me from posting so I took it out.

I think this has to do with the way that thread title changes don't retroactively fix previous bookmarks, so I always get the old thread title?

i don't think the url was the problem... i'm guessing that the dollar sign or the colon in the thread title was breaking it. it worked when i posted the url with a different title.

dollar sign has special meaning in regexp substitutions, i think the literal dollar sign, followed by a number, confuses things when it's replacing links

dollar signs fuck up other bits of ilx code too

could we make ⌘/Ctrl + Enter a shortcut to "submit post" like on gmail/twitter etc?

Tab enter should do it but yes I’ll look at it

thank you. it's very important that i am able to post my terrible opinions faster and more emphatically.

wait ....

OMG. now i'm posting with power

(i mean, just realizing i could do tab then enter. i love it, wish i would have realized a long time ago!)

testing

ya so cmd+enter works now

Cool.

Next issue: View Previous Page doesn't seem to work too well in MacZing for me. Often, like just now, I get a Turn Back You Poxy Fule! message.

huh, that's bad. next time it happens can you post here please? that will let me find the timestamp in the error logs

happened just now

nothing helpful in the logs, will take a deeper look when I get a moment

okay, no worries, no hurries, thanks

blam

thank you

So we've got the expired Let's Encrypt certification here too.

*sniff* Goodbye, ILX. Signed, my 2009 ipad.

Do you use that a lot? I can turn on an http-only domain to make it work again

I wouldn't say I use it "a lot." Usually around bedtime or when I want to reset a bookmark that a killfile has made the last post on.

Thank you! But don't turn on anything just for me.

Is the search function borked? I can't find anything

Seems OK to me. What are you searching for?

I'm search for thread titles in the user id section, is what I'm doing. Never mind.

finally ilx needs an AI

has the thread title font changed? looks a bit odd on my phone.

oh, i did 'upgrade' to Android 12 this morning, maybe it's a side effect of that, somehow

(using mobile.css)

(looks ok in Chrome)

I'm using mobile.css and I see no change of any kind.

screenshots...

firefox:

but i swear it used to look more like chrome still does:
http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/Screenshot_chrome.jpg

seeing those both together it looks like a font weight thing, maybe a letter spacing thing. the firefox titles do look slighter than they used to. it's perhaps a bit more noticeable when the title is short.

(but no, it's not an ilx problem)

the hide text thingy is grebt but seems to be thwarted by line breaks -- could its effects be made to continue (like other such tags) until it reaches a /hiddentext ?
