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

we should all should give it a few days imho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Mordy, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
i really like the way bookmarking works now tbh

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 :(
― ⚓ (gr8080), Thursday, 2 February 2012 02:10 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― pplains, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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?
― StanM, Thursday, 2 February 2012 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Keith, Thursday, 2 February 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
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?
― Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 15 October 2023 19:56 (eleven months ago) link
download Zing Touch from the app store!
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 15 October 2023 19:56 (eleven months ago) link
Can’t view it in my theme though :D
Speaking of which I am seeing a load of rendering bugs on the iPhone I need to fix.

― stet, Thursday, 19 October 2023 10:33 (eleven months ago) link
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?
― 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!
― fajita seas, Friday, 20 October 2023 02:44 (eleven months ago) link
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 :)
― Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 22 October 2023 09:40 (eleven months ago) link
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

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?

try hitting Cmd-zero if you're on a Mac (Ctrl-0 on Windows)
― default damager (lukas), Wednesday, 21 August 2024 15:47 (one month ago) link
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)
