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.
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
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)

weird, the title changed. thanks.

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?
― sleeve, Sunday, 30 May 2021 15:41 (two years ago) link
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.
― visiting, Sunday, 30 May 2021 16:10 (two years ago) link
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

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.

Do you use that a lot? I can turn on an http-only domain to make it work again
― stet, Sunday, 3 October 2021 17:04 (two years ago) link
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.

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

screenshots...
firefox:http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/Screenshot_firefox.jpg
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.

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 ?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 4 December 2021 01:05 (two years ago) link
that would mean it would have to start in one div and end in another, which is hard. ie
div first paragraph with some h hidden text /div
div second paragraph, still hidden /h visible again /div
(the divs might need p tags but same thing)
― koogs, Saturday, 4 December 2021 01:24 (two years ago) link
okay, no worries -- thanks!
― mookieproof, Saturday, 4 December 2021 01:35 (two years ago) link
You can fake paragraphs..By having a minor piece of punctuation on the "break" lines.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Saturday, 4 December 2021 03:49 (two years ago) link
Just tested this on HTML Playground: it seems to work even with a space as your "minor piece of punctuation" on the line between the faked paras.

do tweet embeds not work anymore? just wondering if it's my browser/adblocker. they appear as blockquotes but don't load as embeds, for me.
― towards fungal computer (harbl), Thursday, 16 December 2021 15:02 (two years ago) link
fwiw i have a pretty aggressive privacy/adblock setup that causes tweets to behave like that for me
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 16 December 2021 15:23 (two years ago) link
I disable javascript (using noscript in firefox for example) and that prevents the twitter embeds.
― Kim Kimberly, Thursday, 16 December 2021 16:38 (two years ago) link
your adblocker might have an option to filter out social or "share" stuff. that usually breaks embedded tweets.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Thursday, 16 December 2021 17:08 (two years ago) link
(i.e. try disabling that option)

hi stet, youtube embedding is great, but would be cool to teach the regex not to try to embed links to youtube channels (which don't work), e.g. this post got mangled. obviously this is not the end of the world.
p.s. does ilx use log4j y/n?
