Ideas for ILX

and here you always struck me as a guy familiar with coffee shop wifi!

It would be neat if after a poll ended there was a little asterisk or something next to the option that you voted for, in case you can't remember.

It would also be neat if you could change your vote before the poll ended - sometimes the conversation changes my mind!

Yes, either that or a big obelisk.

If that doesn't work we could try a medium-sized basilisk.

Personally I am partial to Asterix le Gaulois.

Surely this has been suggested before, but a button that updates all your bookmarks to the current moment would be so wonderful. I have not really looked at ilx since September, and while I don't want to lose all my bookmarks, clicking through all of them just to scroll down and click bookmark on the last post is a serious chore.

Haha straight after that I had the idea to go look if there WAS such a button already

So thanks for that!!!

Don't tell me it's been there for years...

Holy shit thank you

it's been there for years.

look here bub

it would be neat if the board descriptions that were quotes linked to the posts where the quotes came from

be also nice if we could change ILE or ILX's, which are both years old

But they are eternal

I had never noticed the typo in ILE's before.

yes, it was supposed to be “ILM”, because who needs all the rest of it really

link to quotes? learn lore, noobs

Is there a way to search for an exact phrase in ILX search? In Google you can do this by enclosing the search term in double-quotes, unfortunately in ILX search this doesn't work.

yes it does

If I search for posts containing the term “blue monday” (with quotes), and sort by newest first, then why is the first result a post that mentions Monday (the day of the week) and not the word “blue” at all? Also, if I go back and remove the quotes I get the exact same set of results, so the presence of quotes makes no difference.

It works for me too. Huh.

Hmmmm. There must be an extra step I’m missing.

What I did:

Go to Search page

Under Text Search, terms: "blue monday"

Next line, click radio button for "Posts"

Under "Order Results By," click radio button for "Newest First"

Click "Search" button right under that.

You need to pony up for ILX Premium.

Doctor Casino: yep that’s exactly what I did to a T. Strange. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to deal with it. Thanks for your help anyway!

If I search for posts containing the term “blue monday” (with quotes)

your browser (phone?) is helpfully converting your straight quotes (") to "smart quotes". suspect the search software wants straight ones.

can test by copying this text into the search box rather than typing it yourself:

"blue monday"

on an iphone i think you can force a normal quote mark by holding down the key? these are the wages of ""“aesthetics”""

OMG YOU ARE A GENIIOUS!!!!!!!

Fuck an iPhone and its lameass smart-quotes.

This works on zing search fyi

I’d like a new borad called Bad Poll Prison where I can make bad polls without feeling like I’m clogging up a real borad

nothing is real, everything is polled

xp just choose a moribund sub-board and use it for that purpose --

"For You"

lol

isn't that what Blog View is

Blog View has been borked for years, I'd love to have it back and probably said so upthread.

blog view felt like “jacking in” to ilx

ILX marketplace thread? Buy and sell your stuff?

Is there a way to disable the "s" keyboard shortcut that redirects to Site New Answers?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'remove bookmark from this thread'? Actually, is there a place to check all keyboard shortcuts? Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'find all keyboard shortcuts'?
