Ideas for ILX

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?

i jut found a way to diable the "" key entirely, not ure if that help

xp the whaaaaaa?

holy shit I did not know about this one

I used to and then forgot until now

Never knew about it either. It's web only I assume, not the apps.

lol forks

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'?

Does anyone have an aspirin?

I had no idea there were shortcuts at all!

i have been using 'b' for a while (to bookmark a thread or update a bookmark to the latest post on a thread), but 's' is new to me! i do think using the two in tandem could lead to subconscious drives to suggest ban people, but sometimes you have to take risks for shortcut conveniences

s b and numerals are great shortcuts

Is there a list anywhere, my mind is totally blown there is also a bookmark one too.

try it. type random letters, see what it does!

numbers = not sure
b = bookmark
p = add post (moves focus to the text box)
s = site new answers

numbers = goto bookmark n

Leviticus = create poll

non-joking request to ban Twitter / X embeds. just have it be a url

pretty sure you can shut that off in preferences

it's all or nothing, that shuts off images as well

"Show Images (and other embedded media, like videos and Tweets)"

it's the sacrifice you make i guess

It would be cool if that preference could be separated.

actually you should try it, i made that choice awhile back and now it’s nice, unlike the rest of the internet i get to read a conversation without letting dumb reaction memes drive my understanding of it

people post reaction memes here?

I opted for images, videos & tweets to load as links years ago. I can easily just load the exact item I want to view without constantly loading/reloading a couple dozen images, gifs, etc. that were part of a conversation from days, months or years earlier. Just seems like a cleaner solution overall.

cleanliness while maintaining density of useful info is imo the one virtue this place has in spades that entire
rest of internet really does not (wikipedia may be only real exception that is not some real specific niche thing)

hilarious inside jokes, you forgot to mention

yes much richer and better than any “he’s not wrong you know” (you’re not!)
