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.

― Mordy, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
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

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

ILX had a number of prolific posters who contributed to its active community. Some of the notable and influential posters over the years included individuals like Sterling Clover, Andy K, Nick Sylvester, and Mark Sinker. These posters were known for their extensive contributions, insightful discussions, and sometimes controversial opinions, which helped shape the character of ILX as a unique online forum for music and various other topics. However, keep in mind that individual participation can change over time, and my information might not be up to date with the latest developments on ILX.

This isn't so much a question as it is an expression of puzzlement but...I just posted via Zing a short while ago and the DN displayed on my post is an older DN that is not the DN I'm currently using. Should that be happening? And might the fact of it happening have anything to do with the fact that my iPhone is old as shit (it's a 6)? I guess those last two actually were questions.
― Prop Dramedy (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 15 August 2023 00:52 (one year ago) link
It shouldn't be happening – there's a weird situation in the code where it can keep two copies of a user around. You end up with two different sets of bookmarks and sometimes two DNs etc. I've never been able to really track the cause of it down, it's (probably) not your fault tho
― stet, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 10:51 (one year ago) link
I’ve just got my first iPhone and the Bookmark Post links JavaScript does not work and instead go to a form to submit instead. Is that expected?

One day! Been meaning to do it for a couple of years for general bugs.Any idea on the bookmark bug though?
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 19 October 2023 17:27 (eleven months ago) link
not a bug - deliberate behaviour: there's a non-Javascript flow, which mobile devices use because they were buggy back in the day. You can see it on desktop if you disable JS in site settings
― stet, Thursday, 19 October 2023 17:56 (eleven months ago) link
It’s always worked on Android browsers though 🤷
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 19 October 2023 22:15 (eleven months ago) link
Yeah, I have a vague recollection of just stopping it doing the Javascript thing on mobile at all; however, that would've been just after the first iPhone launched, so when you say it's always worked on Android, well, it's kind of always not worked on Android, as when I wrote that bit of code, Android didn't exist, so it seems whatever mechanism I used to filter it out didn't work once Android appeared.
― Keith, Thursday, 19 October 2023 22:31 (eleven months ago) link
FWIW, I was definitely using Android to read ilx every day for like two years before Android officially existed and it worked fine so thanks!
