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

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.

first

lold at this

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

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 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.

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.

Check out the blue cursor on the side to give you an idea of how far up it goes.

poll

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.

hah

I could not use ilx without bookmarks, seriously

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

use bookmarks y'all

would you consider embedding bsky.app links like twitter/x.com links?

arguably twitter embeds have made this site worse, but since we can't unring that bell it would be cool to be able to link to the non-nazi alternative

https://bsky.social/about/blog/post-embeds-guide

yes! have been meaning to see if this was possible for a while. Thanks!

thanks!

I seem to have made the text very small when viewing on Chrome browser on laptop.

Any idea what I've done as it only affects ILX and I can't see anything obvious in Site Preferences?

Ta

try hitting Cmd-zero if you're on a Mac (Ctrl-0 on Windows)

have you just zoomed out? ctrl-0 should restore to the default

(in firefox there's a '65%' thing in the url bar to tell you you've zoomed out)

xp

Random question:

If we wanted to, could we tag the ilxor.com domains to our Bluesky accounts?

no idea what bluesky looks like or how posts etc there work but if we could all just agree now not to render links from there like we do with twitter it would imo be good

twitter dumping killer ilx (not really but a bit)

would be nice if the twitter embeds could work via nitter.poast or xcancel or sutin.

why? the thing I like about the current setup is the post text remains even if the post is deleted on X

and yes I was looking at allowing Bluesky username auth for here

embeds too, sorry

the thing I like about the current setup is the post text remains even if the post is deleted on X

otm very nice implementation

If you disable javascript for ilx then you don't see the full twitter embeds, only the text.

Whoa I only just noticed the "Show Images (and other embedded media, like videos and Tweets)" option in Preferences.

i have both javascript and ilx embeds enabled and always get only the blue text box, best of both worlds

the ilx way of handling twitter embeds is by far the best i've seen: text content is preserved even if the tweet is deleted without requiring posters to manually copy-paste it, and the readers don't connect to twitter servers at all unless they want to look at the media.

if bluesky embeds are allowed, please make them work the same if at all possible.

would be nice if the twitter embeds could work via nitter.poast or xcancel or sutin.

― koogs, Friday, November 15, 2024 11:26 AM bookmarkflaglink

if you're using firefox, globally block twitter.com with uBO/umatrix, and configure libredirect to use xcancel for twitter links

this way you get the benefits of ilx's blue box text embeds and if you want to look at the linked media you can click the links and be redirected to the xcancel version

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

yeah, my suggestion was based on the embeds being embeds and not realising that stet had done something cleverer with them, copying them.

i do often click through though - images off - so libredirect could be handy, thanks

if your twitter embeds do not look like ilx quotes, then they are normal embeds and you're effectively browsing twitter. that happens only if all of the following are true:

1. embeds/images enabled in ilx prefs
2. javascript for ilxor.com allowed in browser
3. twitter.com allowed by the browser content blocker

if any one of the above is not true, twitter embeds are replaced by

ILX blue box text quotes and twitter hosted media is replaced by URLs

^ Very useful information thanks.

Is there a cert problem? My desktop browser is complaining and Zing doesn't want to load threads

firefox has also told me that a certificate expired today

Ditto.

already renewed

huh weird, after i replied i'm back to the old cert?

expired: 43:46:CE:D9:B5:79:08:57:64:21:D6:02:CC:63:1C:EE:65:CE:66:86:92:28:30:AC:6E:61:99:84:DC:07:73:C0

new (expires in 2025/01/30): C5:04:93:93:CA:40:FD:40:FC:ED:87:DC:60:94:9B:50:A0:26:FF:F1:73:46:27:14:04:E6:D6:95:BE:D6:E3:78

I'm getting "chain validation failed" messages on Flagging.

every 4th-5th time i click a thread link/board refresh i'm getting the certificate issue (using firefox).

not sure if it's related but on chrome earlier i was getting one of those "proceed to unsafe website?" warnings on desktop/mac

every 4th-5th time i click a thread link/board refresh i'm getting the certificate issue (using firefox).

same, it's flip-flopping between certs for some reason.

anyone affected by this can safely click through the warnings: the old cert is merely expired, connections still using it are as encrypted as effectively as they would with the new cert.

I'm getting "chain validation failed" messages on Flagging

same, but going to boards and then back to new answers made it go away for me

wait is there an Android app other than Flagging?

security warning happens on various browsers, including Vivaldi and Chrome.

what is zing?

It’s an iOS app that lets you read and post on ILX

right, so that's what Zing is.

I am an Android user that uses the Flagging App on Android.

who developed Zing?

stet I believe

huh this is weird — the certificate is valid and was renewed on Nov 1st; the old cert is gone. I'll take a deeper look later

I thought Flagging was the iPhone one but yeah, it's zing so I'm using Flagging too xps

Still getting Chain Validation Failed when bookmarking, replying etc but simply pressing the relevant button a second time works

oh I think I see the problem now

all hail the great stet!!!

Indeed so!

he do maketh the boards strong where they were weak! he doth cause the zings to flow down like a mighty river

stet rules! keith rules!
