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

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.

Feel free to send me updates to the stylesheet!

One day! Been meaning to do it for a couple of years for general bugs.

Any idea on the bookmark bug though?

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

It’s always worked on Android browsers though 🤷

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.

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!

I’m happy to take a look and suggest code to get the experience on iPhone up to par :)

We need an “ILX is better in the app” popup apparently they’re all the rage

Ah yes, sorry, I had forgotten about the shareholder value :)

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.

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.
