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

1) is it at all possible to make vimeo links embed like youtube does?

2) would it be possble to make youtube embeds be in 16:9 instead of 4:3?

youtube embeds are the raddest and i think its awesome they work so easy but these are just 2 suggestions to make them better

if its possible to do these 2 things w/o days and days of coding i think it would be cool!

thanks!

first

hey is there a problem with suggest ban again?

dear stet/keith, thank you for everything you do for us! <3

I'm not stet, Keith or in charge of code, but I can say that SBs are registering as they always have.

is it supposed to go to a white screen after you click the button?

hmmm, no, it's supposed to go back to the thread with the post that you SB'd. Hopefully stet will see this tomorrow morning UK time.

lold at this

usually happens when you are banned from a subforum iirc, and no the SB doesn't register

Ah, ok, yes, you were banned from I Rate Everything a year ago for some reason.

PWND

now why would jergins do a thing like that???

yo whatever update you guys just did about 10 minutes ago... when i click "bookmark" on a post it jumps me back to the top of the page now... anyway to change it back?

From looking at the logs, most ppl click "Bookmark" then choose another of their bookmarks to read. So the thinking here is that it jumps you back to your bookmarks to save you scrolling or w/e.

It's taking a bit of getting used to, I admit. Can we give it a couple of days?

yeah i was a bit thrown by that, but i can see getting used to it

Haha nooooooooooo I just came here to *praise* the mods for that!! I love it!

Saves a helluvalot of pressing on page up/home to go to the next bookmarked thread!

haha ok.

i was totally unaware until you changed it, but i guess my pattern is get to last post/post i want to stop on -> click bookmark -> read last post -> click permalink (so last post is now at top of page) -> pick from remaining bookmarks

so i guess you're saving me some clicks, i just need to re-train myself

From looking at the logs, most ppl click "Bookmark" then choose another of their bookmarks to read. So the thinking here is that it jumps you back to your bookmarks to save you scrolling or w/e.

From SNA, I open a bookmarked thread in a new tab, click 'Bookmark' in that thread, then open a new bookmarked thread from my SNA tab. So I do what the logs indicate, but not in the way it looks in the logs.

Ha, this is brilliant, and 2 hours ago would've saved me the trouble of looking up how to do Page Up/Home on a MacBook Pro (not before I accidentally managed to shut it down by pressing some combo of Apple key and what looked like it might be a Page Up button).

Thanks!

I don't like it, personally. But I do *tend* to read the last post before clicking the button, so I guess I can live with it if I have to. I usually click to SNA rather than other bookmarks.

This goes for me too, my fingers on my laptop - both hands - are still going to shift(left) + pgUp/Home (right). I *want* to get used to this.

Ahh the simple joys in life... Stet <3

I should point out that I don't care either way – my post was an explanation of what I do, not a complaint about the change.

yeah i think i'll like this as soon as i get used to it

enjoy the idea of stet pouring over the ilx logs for user behavior insights

how the hell did following this link from the Flag Post thread change my style sheet???

it logged you out, maybe?

its kinda jarring, tbqh a radical approach, i salute yr courage

sleeve are you logged into ilxor.com or www.ilxor.com?

"Flag Post"? Wait I only just noticed this.

FPing someone for that.

I hate this change :'( Can we maybe have the choice to use it or not?

yeah not feeling it.

another thing: if i bookmark something and then select that same bookmark once it jumps to the top of the page (like say i walked away from my computer for a while), it will take me to the OLD bookmark from that page

mostly i just dont like jumping back to the top of the page in general

really enjoying this now tbh

we should all should give it a few days imho

it is p unusual and appy tho, just my pro opinion

it's not so bad that i'd quit ilx over it (i'd probably chew the tips off my fingers before i quit ilx) but i do find it deeply unpleasant and would prefer the option to turn it off

i really like the way bookmarking works now tbh

ditto

The new bookmarking thing works for me. Didn't even know I wanted it.

agree with mordy

Im kinda amazed how many ppl use bookmarks this religiously. Ive nevre even given them a thought.

i get so bogged down with my unread bookmarks i rarely look at SNA :(

I tend to rely on my browser's turning a viste3d link pink/the "new posts" unfilled dot. So when the site gets rebooted and they all clear, Im completely lost haha.

i get so bogged down with my unread bookmarks i rarely look at SNA :(

One of a few reasons why I changed my name!

There was a while where pplains wasn't on 77 yet, and I'd log in as Pleasant Plains to check in. Fuck, those bookmarks stacked up fast.

yah after some p intense experiences w/stacked up bookmarks im careful abt unfollowing threads im not actively reading, only have 5 outstanding now

need to go back and bookmark "an erotic thriller" again tho'.

i have to clear bookmarks compulsively tbh

dont need to bookmark it... im living it

sux for you... most intercourse involves penetration you know.

i was lazy, but there really should have been a comma before those last two words.

I could not use ilx without bookmarks, seriously

I used to be one of you, then I found help

use bookmarks y'all

the bookmarkers gag has already been done rite

argh even as I am reading about it, I'm automatically clicking 'bookmark' and it is annoying me!

this is still totally frustrating

you'll love it eventually!!!

ok, it's pissing me off too. back it goes. maybe into preferences ville

Nooooooooooo Stet! ;_;

haha

i liked it!

Why u brake haert Stet, u tease

LBI, preferences ville means YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP IT THE NEW WAY, ffs

but we want everyone to HAVE to use it

think of the hive wont you

^^ exactly lol

xp

It's kinda like Portal or something. Or those parts in Pitfall II when you'd die and your character would literally be taken all the way back to the beginning.

you'll love it eventually!!!

I'm sorry markers, but I've had a couple days to try it out and I tried looking at it in various ways and trying to adjust, but really I just hate it.

fair enough \(^o^)/

it can't be gone soon enough afaic

the things you think are useless I just can't understand...

I do hope it goes to live w/ a nice family in Preferencesville tho so that everyone can be happy!

WmC - who are you talking to? I'm sure it's useful for the right person (markers) it's just making me crazy.

just quoting Steely Dan, don't mind me

Can I just... I have another question - didn't ILX use to remember your css choice when you logged out?

Because now, every time I remove my cookies and forget to exclude ilxor's cookie, I have to go "i want to change the way the site looks" again after I log back in. I think I remember I didn't always have to do that?

Hey Stan, if I remember rightly, and it is a few years ago now I wrote this stuff, I made the stylesheet be stored in a cookie, instead of most of your preferences, which are stored in the database.

This was so that people could set themselves up with one stylesheet at work and another at home. They might want to be more inconspicuous at work.

None of the software has changed in the past few years except what this thread is talking about.

(Oh to fully answer, I think there was a day back in the beginning where I did store it in the database - it's still in there; it's just not used, but it was probably in 2007 now).

I am trying to persevere with nuBookmarks and am becoming used to it. Most of the problems are down to my own impatience and random clicking that there's no need for.

Ok, thanks, Keith. No problem, this way I check out another stylesheet by accident once in a while :-)

hi keith, while we've got you, stet asked me to ask you to disable this "flag post" function, says thanks in advance

btw the bookmark thing is still doing the thing where it goes to the top of the page

also zing doesn't work ON IPAD but stet said you would release that tomorrow so thanks

Autumn, if I ever finish the big raft of stuff I have been looking at recently, the Cape of Good Hope will be the first to hear about it. But unfortunately, I developed ILX but not Zing, stet did that, so you'll have to chase him.

joeks

(honestly; I am not angling for an ipad zing)

When will the contested bookmark behavior go away? JUST CURIOUS NO PRESSURE.

plz :'(

haha u guys

never!!!

hating this. get rid of it or i quit ilx.

gettin mad real in here

We can do without gr8080 Stet, keep it!

Hey serious question for stet/keith or whoever: Why is our BBcode tag for boxed quotes [q] instead of [quote], which appears to be standard (per BBcode Xtra extensions and lists I've read online)?

I had to make a custom tag on BBcode Xtra and that's not something a cutie like me should have to worry himself with.

because it's way quicker to type

oHg5SJYRHA0

you guys

what

don't give up the fight!

You know what would be kind of cool would be if "Remove Bookmark from this Thread" took you to the top of the page. It makes sense.

PS oHg5SJYRHA0

who will be the first to take on the oHg5SJYRHA0 display name in protest of mod tyranny?

does that work?

cool

this display name is the crying eagle of ILX

Awww, I liked the jump-to-top bookmarking. I await it's return via the preferences.

yah I think imna go w/it too

hallelujah

will look into best way to do the jump-to-top style for people who loved it

have you considered shock therapy?

?

Please bring back the jump-to-bookmarks, it was great!

yeah it was great. can you switch it on and off every couple of days so this thread keeps going with ppl asking for its removal/reinstatement plz

^^ croosh

It takes two hands to do it on the laptop, shift+pgup/home. Why press keys to do that when clicking bookmark can do it for you?

But for those who bookmark as we read, it wasn't easy to get back to where we left off. Once we were back to the top, we had to refresh and click back on the thread, or just do away completely with our preferred bookmarking method.

I hate two button Home/ End navigation. My last laptop was a Vaio , which is two-button everything - volume, brightness, Home/End, wifi. I only had it bc I got it for free. One of my criteria for laptop purchases is minimal two-button operation and not-stupid keyboard layout (e.g., on my boss' IBM Thinkpad, the Ctrl keys are right next to the space bar - grrr).

u should get a mac theyre really much better

mac keyboard doesn't have one-button hoem key :(

full size one does

yeah the bluetooth one is halfassed and for quitters

wireless keybord is for what exactly, bonus every so often you get to put batteries inside it

tbf I own one of the wireless ones, but I use it with my ipad and (lol) PS3

is for it has no cable don't you see? also: laptops have no hoem key either

thats cool because i always want to operate my computer from places far away from the computer

i use it from the couch sometimes

dude it is for MNNL DESK. I took a picture of my remodeled home desk and my friend joked that I need a wireless keyboard because it's the only thing with visible cables

u have to commit to this aesthetic

important work

wireless solar powered keyboard ftw u luddite chumps

I liked the new bookmark feature, but I've also reverted back to just hitting Site New Answers when I'm done with a page. It's an added page hit, but it takes me to the top anyway.

That's exactly what I do, which is why the new bookmarks feature was so good. I feel bad about hammering the ILX servers twice as often as I need to.

hey stet is it possible to autoembed twitter statuses?

u are pretend

Two of my last three laptops have had a Home key. Though on the Vaio "Home" was a Function key thing.

I am starting to recover from the great bookmark horror, but I am still hesitating and thinking whether I am really want to hit Bookmark and be quantum leaped from what I'm reading. But it's nice to feel safe again and have room to heal.

wireless, kinetically-charged keyboard made from 70% wholegrain ftw

This may be a stupid question because I am the only person in the world that uses Blog View, but has something gone weird with it lately?

New threads are just not turning up on blog view at all. Or maybe it's not just new threads, but it seems random which threads turn up on blog view and which ones go missing.

But either way, it's looking mighty weird?

Thanks in advance if you have a moment to check this out.

(John Carter)
and

Can someone explain Ayn Rand to me?!
(Ayn Rand)

I just tried it, they both appear on my blogview, strange.

That's weird. I thought at first it might be that those threads were on boards I had chosen not to display? But unfortunately sports threads still turn up on the blog view even when they're hidden from SNA.

The only thing I've done differently recently is I turned images off due to bandwidth issues. I'll try switching them back on and see if the threads reappear.

Nope, it's not having images turned off.

But unfortunately sports threads still turn up on the blog view even when they're hidden from SNA.

The good folk at I Love Football decided in their wisdom that the English Premier League was so ubiquitous and Bestest League In Teh World that it deserved an ILE audience so you can't hide that without hiding the biggest board.

Ayn Rand is now turning up in blog view! Not that I really needed to see the thread, but it seems like something has been fixed, so thank you, whatever it was that did the trick.

god the people at i love football are twats.

^ at speed, both feet off the ground, studs showing, malicious intent. He has to go, Brian.

not that type of poster

in site new answers, why do the threads link to www.ilxor.com while their boards link to ilxor.com?

does one have an advantage over the other? apparently one needs to log in to both, although bookmarks do cross over . . .

yeah also if an ilx person send you a link to something with "www.ilxor.com" and you're logged in just to "ilxor.com" it doesn't work

yo can we get autoembedded tweets the way we do youtubes?

also vimeo thx

the ilxor.com/www.ilxor.com thing is intentional to let people use two diff accounts at once

I wish autodetected ilxor links would use relative URLs to avoid the problem with cross-links

in site new answers, why do the threads link to www.ilxor.com while their boards link to ilxor.com?

It's just the way I did it - you could call it a mistake. The board link doesn't use what you are currently on, it picks it up from configuration, which is set when an admin (i.e. stet) opens the site. Stet must use ilxor.com so it set the domain to be that. The thread link just picks it up from whatever you're currently set to, so if you're ilxor.com, the thread link will show that, and if you're www.ilxor.com, the thread link will show that.

it would be cool if a poll's options were always displayed at the top of the thread

yeh, it would be cool. floating in the top-right corner in the same space as the "Message Bookmarked" notification goes.

it feels like youtube has really switched shit up in the last year in the way of URLs, making it more and more of a task to find the kind of url

would it be difficult to write a [youtube] [/youtube] bbcode that was happy with any youtube url?

and while you're at it... vimeo?

just curious

should read: "more and more of a task to find the kind of url that ilx code will embed"

If I get a chance, Silby. I actually did Vimeo ages ago because Grady asked, but it's not deployed yet. That has its own challenges, so it won't be in the next month or so, but maybe some time after that, if Stet's got some time too.

Wait a minute, you are Grady. I am out of touch.

hows about an actual tag where people can just put in the 'v' number, rather than an entire link? easier to parse and you get to control the rest of the url

hi

when i'm trying to search by username, its giving me posts that used the term i'm searching, not posts by the username i'm searching

Is working for me with "gr8080" in the lower box, search set to username and posts, or with "displayName:gr8080" in the top box, searching posts

try "a puppy"

or "puppy"

works for me

Works OK here (Win7 / Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m)

I return results for "― milk of the puppy (Jon Lewis)"

uhhh. Windows something. IE number point number

works here as well

weird, i'm getting posts from yesterday with the word puppy in them

can someone make me a sitewide mod?

if you search in the posts-by-a-specific-user box and use quote marks around "a puppy", you get posts with the word puppy in them.

if you search in the top box for displayName:"a puppy" you get posts by a puppy.

so i think it's to do with how the posts-by-a-specific-user searchbox works

gr8080 are you putting a puppy in quotes? it works if you don't.

yeah so if you put quotes around the search term in the user box (even if its a single word) it appears to generate a bunch of text that isnt a username, but if you leave it out of quotes it works.

i think youtube defaults to https now

Bookmark folders?

Stet how many regular users does ILE and ILM get each day?

Also, I know you have said before you can tell 90% of users use SNA, but can you tell how many SNA users have it so they cant see anything from ILM?
ILM seems dead compared to what it was whilst ILE seems busier than ever. I wondered if half of ilx just dont see anything from ILM.

Poll!

Going to c&p gr8080's post from the Milk Carton thread, since it's an issue he has mentioned here before and other posters have been griping about the problem in various threads.

the only way ilx will embed a youtube video is if you use the

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

format. but youtube has tons of different ways to display urls, and recently the default became

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

several other mesage boards have a [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[/youtube]

There used to be a cool feature where when you'd bookmarked a thread it would send you back to the top of the page. Too many people disliked it so it got dumped but I really miss it, it mirrors my behavior exactly. Please pretty please can there be something in the preferences to turn it on or off, default off for those who don't like change? It work or save me a lot of annoying scrolling on my phone.

xp:

Oh yes, my apologies Darragh.

Stet, darraghmac proposed returning the name of Flag Post back to the original Suggest Ban. He feels that the renaming has had a deleterious effect on the slasher film-like, "who will be the next to die get banned" atmosphere of ilx that he deeply cherished.

did someone suggest tweets recently? idk, that could be interesting. but whatever

can we get social media links? i don't know, maybe just this set of icons next to every post?

http://i.imgur.com/4rGvwQJ.jpg

share to internet explorer

share to android

share to safari, and if you don't want to it's because you have something to hide

repost all of ilx to your wordpress blog

made a quick and dirty fix that should sort the youtube thing

you could at least have answered my question since I bumped the thread!

Sorry I am trying to, but I fell asleep! I'm running a thing over the logs to break it down in interestng ways

awesome!

oh sounds cool, thanks!

it seems like there's activity on ilm to me

that's basically how i break logs down to an interesting extent

i keep getting timeouts. site will stop responding, just sit there with the throbber throbbing. it's quite a frequent thing, several times an hour. last time was just then - 14:43 to 14:44 (BST)

thanks, stet!

how about http://youtu.be/_____ too? :-)

I have just got an Xperia Z2 Android and it's behaving really oddly.

It loads ILX in Chrome, but has done so on an old setting - it's got a previous display name, isn't registering new bookmarks and doesn't update bookmarks or accept bookmarks updates. I've cleared the cache with no effect.

Any ideas?

Log out and remove cookies then log back in maybe?

whoever is in charge of code

Whilst we're on youtube embeds, they haven't been displaying on iPad safari and chrome for a while. it might be a problem with the css, I can get it to occur in chrome or safari with old.css, new.css and newold.css. Where the youtube should be you just get whitespace.

Log out and remove cookies then log back in maybe?

Tried that as well. Really have no idea what's going on.

What CSS do they work in, Ed?

Hmm, I can't actually find one where it does work.

Stet how many regular users does ILE and ILM get each day?

Taking yesterday because it's easy, there were:

11,078 unique IPs visiting ILE
13,896 unique IPs visiting ILM

(Some of those IPs represent big blocks of users, though - eg the whole NHS shows up as one IP)

Also, I know you have said before you can tell 90% of users use SNA, but can you tell how many SNA users have it so they cant see anything from ILM?

343 (!)

hiyoooo

Add around 4500 Zing users to that regular users total as well (double !!, though they're mostly Zing Free. That'd have been a really great pint, otherwise).

is there anything for android, not tbh that I'm in any way inhibited as is tbf

koogs was working on something iirc

Zing for android? You're chasing a unicorn

I started one as an into to android programming until I realised how much work it was going to be and how much easier it would be just to change the stylesheet to alleviate all my niggles - stuff like making the bookmark link bigger and easier to hit, fixing the tiny text box and menus...

search by 'thread title' could use a 'most recently updated' option

That would be a useful feature.

people have talked about this in the past, i'm pretty sure, but it might be cool to think about letting us hide threads. like, not sure how many people would use it or if i would want to use it, but it might, might work

it would also probably change the dynamics of the board at least a little

makers is correct as ILM would improve x 100000000000000 if it was possible to hide those dreadful polls algerian goalie, some dude and johnny fever insist on inflicting on the board.

This has been suggested multiple times and would definitely be useful. Also being able to see the number of posts in each thread in a search result.

^^co-sign

I would pay 100 dollars to change the email associated with my account. I already pay $10 a year to keep the domain name for it just for ilx use, so I'll save money in the long run.

Fair enough! Stet @ ilxor yo

You can. "Hide Polls" in settings. Or, make like me and just leave ILM off your SNA list heh.

That is for the standard polls only.

i just bought zing, its better fyi ilxor.com iphone owners

any plans for an ipad version?

lagoon, give me your zing elevator pitch

um its full screen on the taller newer iphones, it saves ur spot when u come back from other apps, its got some animations or something that makes browsing feel smoother, its got bb code shortcuts for images and everything, prob some other stuff, $2.99 cheap!

still no pull to refresh tho smh

loren brichter to thread

twitter has a patent on that shit. be careful

you know what would be cool -- a 'remove bookmark' and/or 'mark as read' link that appears next to the thread link on site new answers (or any board view)

i feel like mine build up and then i can usually glance at the title and be like 'i dont need this rn' or 'i have seen the clusterfuck unfolding and will bide my time' or 'why is this even bookmarked'

Most of my bookmarks are accidental

i have sugessted this feature before

on zing u can swipe them away btw

i know! its really handy, i've actually done that to prune even when i'm sitting at a computer

lol

I wish bookmark links didn't have showall=true by default - opening up a big thread via a link to an early post leads to browser meltdown.

the search function seems to have trouble parsing double quotation marks, fyi.

for instance, try searching for thread Donald Fagen, "Sunken Condos" (2012).

these search terms are successful:

sunken

these search terms are not successful:

"donald fagen sunken condos 2012"
"donald fagen sunken"
condos
condos"
"sunken condos"
"condos" 2012"

in general, if a word in a thread title or post is bounded to the right by a" double" "quotation" 'mark", it won't show up in the search results for that particular word. and if a string of words in a thread title or post is partly quoted and partly unquoted, it won't show up in the search results for that particular string unless the search inquiry reproduces the post's typography (w/r/t quotation marks) precisely.

...or something like that. I notice that the problem only seems to affect posts from about 2006 onwards. for example, just about every year since 2004 there has been a detrius thread with the exact same formatting in the title:

This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- 2004 (started by Eric H. (Eric H.) on board I Love Everything on Dec 2, 2004)

This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- 2005 (started by Eric H. (Eric H.) on board I Love Everything on Dec 2, 2005)

This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- 2007 (started by Eric H. on board I Love Everything on Nov 14, 2007)

This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- 2008 (started by Eric H. on board I Love Everything on Nov 11, 2008)

the search term "detrius" (with or without quotes) pulls up all detrius threads from 2004 onwards. but the search term "end of the year cinema" only pulls up the 2004 and 2005 threads.

tldr double quotes are problematic for the ilx search function. I just thought I should point out this issue.

ya I have noticed that for years, prob shoulda said something too

(it will take a few minutes for this post to be indexed, but then you can search for those terms in various ways and see what works and what doesn't)

googling "site:www.ilxor.com (search terms)" is p much the only way I search ilx these days

technically we could sidestep the issue from now on by unilaterally agreeing to only use British-style 'single quotes', but I find this be a completely un("USA! USA! USA!")acceptable solution.

stet come to slack

google only works so well though, xpost. for one thing it doesn't allow you to search for individual posts (you can use google to find threads that mention both Ron Sexsmith and Devendra Banhart, but you'll have to sort through a lot of noise if you're only interested in a particular post that mention both of those gentlemen)

on the other hand the ilx search function doesn't permit thread-wide searches, which is a limitation of its own.

Newspapers only use single quotes in the headers too.

Ugh slack is the worst. Send me an invite

msg me your email

it;s awful

hi, I have a problem that only comes up on my Android phone. When I log into ILX in the Android Chrome browser, my Bookmarks do not sync with any other browser/device, so it looks like I have a million threads that I haven't read. Can't figure out how to get it synced up with my actual ILX activity. I haven't ever had this problem on any other browser or any other device. Is it a cookies issue?

caek "stet" at this site dot com does the trick.

Moodles: someone else mentioned that, but I can't think why it would be. Bookmarks are stored server-side against your user account.

cn i have an ilxor dot com email addr plz

tilde.club before it was cool

maybe like a "see last 30" or 50 or whatever threads that have been updated instead of just "updated within the last <time> ago". This would be useful for browsing boards that don't have a lot of active threads

Yeah I've already done that. I think it'll do the last 200 or so. I just haven't deployed it.

cool!

Yeah, neat! I tried to browse old Aeon Flux Top Level threads and couldn't even find out how to view them

My trick has been to search for "a" (no quotation marks) in thread titles for the board in question.

I'm probably biting off more than I can chew but let's say I wanted to do this ... pointer to get started? like for example, is there a way to get an output format other than html?

?xml=true...

ty!

anything special with auth?

(if I'm asking dumb questions that are answered somewhere already, please let me know)

i don't think there was anything special with login. i appear to be using plain text POST requests, albeit to an odd page.

use wireshark or something to grab a login request from your browser and it should be obvious (LoginControllerServlet, j_security_check). i'm not entirely sure what i did here, lots of commented out code...

aight

Login is a right pain in the ass. There are three different things you have to do, depending on whether you just want to sign in, want to add a post, or want to bookmark.

Suggest you start with logged-out functionality first, as it all works exactly the same whether or not you are logged in, in terms of displaying the boards and loading the threads. If you get all that done then you'll know you're going to get somewhere and it'll be worth considering the auth pain. I'll send you the zing code to help if you get that far.

As for the API, start with the "mobile device interface" link on the front page. For each of those URLs, just remove the ?stylesheet=mobile.xsl to get plain XML.

hey lookit that, didn't know about that link

whatever it's the web it's irrelevant, AAAAAPS

maybe a "view in context" link for search results which takes you to a page with the previous 10 and next 10 posts

http://ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?xml=true&boardid=41 is :( for me

oh i see it's just spitting out a character that browser XML parsers don't like. who cares.

it breaks zing

what are you using that feed for lukas?

I am slowly plugging away on this Android app

You know the problem I had a couple of years ago, the last time I changed my phone? It's back with my new phone.

It keeps a completely different state to every other login on the same account. Bookmarks not updating but only on this device.

Last time it got fixed because there was a phone fault and I replaced the device itself. Not sure they'll accept "ILX doesn't update properly" as a defect this time.

Okay, I now have an Android app that does All The Things that you can do logged-out. Want to add a couple things, like starring boards a la Zing Touch, but it's probably worth having other people look at this now. It is, uh, very reminiscent of Zing, except buggier and not as pretty.

Anybody have an Android device and willing to take it for a spin?

apk me bro

Sure, I will.

I also fixed said problem above this weekend finally, by doing maybe the 10th cache clear since I got the phone. Just weird.

theporouscity.com/app-release.apk

or http://theporouscity.com/app-release.apk

you'll have to have enabled apps from unknown sources in settings -> security

other things not finished: name, icon

this is really nice!! perfectly happy with how it looks, minimal and loads super fast just like ilx should be. plz never to change font to century gothic or w/e

havent found a trace of a bug yet. will definitely use once login happens (which i'm sure involves all the really hard stuff)

haha also you can keep 'flagging' too

pull-to-refresh would be a good addition

if i was really picky about the looks then the titlebar could stay white, or v pale grey. nothing wrong with navy but it compresses the page

Whoo, congrats! Let me know if you need help with any of the interactions. The login code is an absolute bastard to reverse-engineer, I can talk you through it when you get there.

xpost thank u for your feedback. you can hit that link again for one that has swipe to refresh on the threads list. lemme experiment with title bar colors.

thanks stet! I guess now's as good a time as any to dig into that. hopefully make progress before work gets crazier. lukasb at google's mail thing.

new version at that link with nicer toolbars, swipe to refresh thread (from bottom)

nice ty

shouldve said earlier "will definitely use" means "will happily pay for" btw!

still not encountered any bugs (what are the known ones?), u could/should probably take it to ile and get more eyes on it

will have a couple more cosmetic suggestions after everything else is sorted but they're totally nbd

oh yeah - links to specific posts don't work, just loads at the end of its thread per normal

Toolbars? I just see it as a reader (a very nice one though).

sorry aldo, I meant title bar.

oh that link problem makes sense, thanks. no other known bugs but this is my first Android app and I'm verrry rusty at coding. all suggestions very welcome.

Thanks for fixing the YouTube embed issue!

Also, maybe this has been discussed before, but any thoughts about making ILX an https site? Is that tough to do?

It's a little bit tough, but that's no excuse. It's on my list of things to do. I'm currently updating the sandbox with the latest versions of the code, and if it all looks OK, I'll send it to the real site soon

Thanks stet.

i dont understand whats different

zing won't connect and search doesn't work but i guess the maintenance is goin on!

...and the mobile stylesheet is gone. I hope it comes back soon.

My bookmarks changed their order

Hi Christine!!

how do i set it to display numerals rather than written out numbers ("14 minutes ago" instead of "fourteen minutes ago")

The time lapses between posts are written out now instead of being indicated numerically. It distracts me every time I see it, like a rogue eyelash in my peripheral vision that I can't get ahold of.

weird because for me it's the way it's always been

is it me or is the text a lot crispier looking?

looks nice

i like the spelled-out durations and am looking forward to tuomas reposting them in finny

maybe we could have it say "twenty-two time minutes ago" so that I don't mistake "minutes" for units of angle

when is the anglocentricism going to stop

we should be more friendly to other languages

vive la revolution

Stupid bug in Zing has borked it, sorry about that. Quick fix is to delete it and reinstall.

Search will be back once the indexes are rebuilt, coming soon

And search should be back!

you're doing god's work stet

stettycakes

search is a no worky slowy

Are you doing a complex search? Basic ones are rattling along for me here. The index doesn't get updated in real-time though, so you can't see new posts instantly in search

Searched your terrible ideas

Seems a bit slow but could be my connection

I used to have to press submit twice now it works first time

Godlike prowess imo stet

the "x minutes ago" portion of each post now spells out the numbers? this is charming, but is it intentional?

Yeah, it's a new bit of Keith code that.

i much prefer the numerals so i would like to be given a choice but if this is just how it is now i will live with it

also i just noticed: i have images off; this used to mean youtube embeds were also turned into links, but this no longer seems to be the case

Yeah, I messed up the filter for those; will fix that but not tonight

Yeah, it's a new bit of Keith code that.

cool, i'm into it

I'd prefer if it stays this way.

wonder what's changed

"x minutes ago" portion of each post now spells out the numbers? this is charming

charming, yes, but it does take more mental effort to derive the information, just as it would if the code changed to display:

August Twenty-Fourth, Two Thousand Sixteen, Six:Fifty Nine Post Meridian

you can handle it, big guy

i have images turned off but still get youtube embeds. no big deal, just fyi

I preferred the numbers as well.

This has apparently affected Mobile Device Interface somehow? When I try to access it through Firefox on Android, I get a message that begins:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.

Can't find the Mobile Device Interface at all, actually. Was it nuked?

Oh yes, nuked. I'll see if I can rehabilitate it if you use it a lot.

Actually, I probably won't. Google are punishing us for not having a mobile-friendly main site, so fixing that is probably the best solution of all

the "numbers written as words" is the best new feature in forever, please keep

plz convert all units of time to minutes

ninety-eight minutes ago
five hundred twelve minutes ago
five million, seven hundred eighty-five thousand, five hundred sixty minutes ago

(one minute imago)

The 'numbers written as words' thing is making me feel like Laura Linney's co-worker in You Can Count On Me post-Broderick.

Let's poll this amirite

stet, is there any programming magic you can do to fix all these shit opinions?

Marge Simpson: Look at this place. The house number is spelled out with letters.

Max Power: Get used to it, honey. From now on we'll be spelling everything with letters.

I love server restarts because it means blog view will work for at least a few days before wandering off again.

I pointed out the flaw in Keith and stet allowing posting functionality many years ago in a classic post in a classic suggest ban thread

Yeah, I've always found the presence of that stupid 'Submit Post' button bothersome.

why would anyone prefer words to numbers in this case? it's horrible imo. "27" can be digested much quicker than "twenty-seven"

whoa, YouTube videos are embedded now! (even if images are turned off!) took me by surprise

i think i like it, actually

My god the digestion

I like the words, but think it probably should be a style option.

Youtube embeds on images off is definitely a mistake (why would you be okay w/ youtubes if you're not okay with images?) but I see stet is aware of the issue.

The numbers as words thing just means that the message signature is even more often longer than the message, especially when reading on my phone because it's narrow.

The message 3 above this one is one line of text, 3 lines of metadata

can any value above forty be expressed in scores, please?

have we ever discussed moving the board over to discourse.org

i kid i kid

Is this update available in the US? to all? Is it an artifact of the maintenance?

I is on 3.0.

But I see nothing I know nothing.

You mean the Zing update? That is still waiting on Apple

I put this in another thread, but stet/keith or whoever is in charge of code these days is more likely to notice it here:

After yesterday's maintenance I find I must log in to ILX every time I start my browser afresh. I allow cookies from ilxor.com and I check the Remember Me box each time I log in. Doesn't seem to make any difference. (I'm using IE11 on Win7. All upgrades installed afaik.)

wassup wit dat?

Are the cookies definitely being saved? Not sure how you view them on IE, sorry

If the cookie format was not changed, I'm not sure why my previously stored cookies from before the maintenance would not have been recognized afterward. It might help if I could wipe all ilxor.com cookies and let the system start over with them, but I do not know that particular trick. Also, my login email address (& domain) no longer exist, and I don't know if System wants to see a valid address or not.

Worst case: I guess I could switch to Firefox or something.

Oh yes, nuked. I'll see if I can rehabilitate it if you use it a lot.

I can't get bookmark to work on the latest presidential election thread. May or may not be a bad thing.

What happens when you try?

I see Message Bookmarked, but the thread doesn't apear in my bookmarks list or at the top of the page when it has new messages. Bookmarks on other threads work fine.

Yes, but only certain searches. I think post searches have been markedly quicker than thread searches (which sometimes take like a full minute to run).

Odd - thread searches should be markedly quicker than post searches!

i was searching for the 2015 end of year tracks poll. I think I searched "ilm 2015", "ilm 2015 tracks", "ilm tracks" etc and selected "most recent first" -- each time the search would come up but as I clicked through and approached the matching threads from january clicking "next" wouldn't work. for some of the searches this was on the third page, for another it was the fourth, another the second...it was bizarre, almost like the search knew what thread I wanted to find and didn't want me to see it

I keep searching for "; drop table users;" and it doesn't work!!

ha

sorry, I really tried not to type that

it was quicker than trying to roll together a joke about apache commons problems with deserialization

Haha (injection thing).

(Yes, they're not going to work)

It's possible that what's happening is a function of how it works and housekeeping...

The way it works is that I run a big job at the beginning that scans all the threads and posts and creates two index files for the search: one for threads, one for posts. The threads one is miles smaller; hence, why it should be faster. With hindsight, I wouldn't even have bothered with the threads one, as subsequent to developing the search, I decided it was useful to just hold the whole list of threads in memory at all times anyway for fast access.

Anyway, that's cool for startup, but the way it keeps the index up-to-date with changes since the initial build is that a batch job runs every five minutes, scans the database for new or changes to threads and posts and updates the index.

I'd have thought that ultimately, this would fragment the index file and make it slow and I for one certainly haven't recreated the index file for at least five years, which would be half a million updates to the index files at least! So guessing somewhat here, but if Stet hasn't recreated the index file since I last did, which I might doubt, as I don't think we ever talked about what that thing did before, then it's possible that's what's going on and all we need to do is stop the site, recreate the index file and start it again.

It's actually an all-new index file as of a couple of weeks ago, so I'm wondering if something went iffy there. No harm in making a new one, will kick that off later.

> 19:17 (fifty-six minutes ago)

It is 21:11 here now. Why is that saying 56 minutes?

>

> 20:14 (three minutes ago)

Slightly better

Although it's 21:18 here, not 20:18

Someone else doing a big search

The index file could potentially be screwed if it were created when the site was running when that happened. I mean, I don't know whether it would or not, but I've never thought through whether it would cause issues. Certainly the initial job reads big fuckoff lumps of the database at a time and indexes that then moves on to the next; the database changing under its feet could render some of the already-created index incorrect, although it'd be up to Apache Lucene whether or not that cause the whole thing problems or not.

Am I right in saying this was all TEN YEARS AGO now?

is it just me or is the spacing all screwed up on the search page, like the css isn't loading right or something

no the right way to say it is 10 years ago now

Well clearly ten years on this place hasn't changed.

I just bought a new Android tab, and now I'm seeing banner ads on ILX even I log in with Chrome. The tablet has Android 6.0, I didn't seen any ads while using Chrome on my older tablet, which had an older version of Android.

"even I after log in"

Here's an example, I'm logged in, but I still see the as.

not sure why, but half of the things I search for cause ILX to hang.

for instance, I searched for Lost Boys, and it comes up no problem.

I search for any variant of "let's shit our pants to something new", even without the word 'shit', and none of them work, except "Let's shit", and doesn't return that thread at all. I tried "our pants", "something new", "shit our pants", and it just hung for minutes at a time.

Don't know if it's related, but threads have been taking a long time to load the last couple of days.

help! the site is doing that thing where every last bookmark I've ever had is showing up at the top of SNA and I can't make them go away. I tried changing the Use Traditional Bookmarks setting, but it didn't do anything. How do I fix this? What am I doing to cause this?
