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.

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

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!

Random question, not sure if it’s been discussed:

What happened to xpost notifications? Were they turned off or did they break?

I know i had a xpost notification sometime in the last couple of days.

We just have fewer simultaneous posts these days I guess

Huh. I never get them anymore in situations where I used to get them all the time. The most recent example is here:

Defend The Indefensible: Wordle

WmC posted his response to his own post while I was typing mine and I didn’t see we had made the same guess until after the thread reloaded after I submitted my post. Previously I would have gotten a response that new messages had been saved since I last loaded the thread. This time, my post just went through. I don’t think I’ve seen an xpost notification in years.

I definitely still get them. My ilxing is always via browser, is that the same for you or could it be a Zing thing?

I always use the browser on my phone

Ohh that rings a bell, I think we disabled them on some phones because people were saying they couldn’t ever actually post because their old slow phones took so long to load the xpost

Yeah browsers haven't done them for at least a few years, I think.

I updated Zing on my iphone and it doesn't open anymore, just nothing. I am using an older iphone, 7.0 I think - is that the issue? would love to get it back on there again.

Ohh that rings a bell, I think we disabled them on some phones because people were saying they couldn’t ever actually post because their old slow phones took so long to load the xpost

Ahh okay, that makes sense.

site new answers keeps logging me out?

using links to separate boards works ok

I was having this problem last week, only on my phone Chrome browser, seems to be working for me now

For some reason my phone lets me look at ILX, but I'm getting a poxy fule on my computer...

Weirder, poxy fule in Chrome, fine on phone/Android zing and Safari.

OK, still strange. ILX works on my phone (app and chrome) but on my MacBook only works in Safari; Chrome gives me a poxy fule. I wonder what's up or what changed?

Clear the Chrome cache on your MacBook and retry?

Hmm, I thought I had tried that, but maybe not thoroughly enough? Anyway, it worked! That's never happened before, I wonder what caused the hiccup?

There's a Chrome developer console that might have given you a clue before the cache was cleared. If it happens again, right click on the page and choose Inspect. It will open a pane on the Elements tab. You should see Console next to Elements at the top of the pane. Choose Console and you'll see any error messages

I've been getting poxy fuled for about a month on mac desktop and my iphone, both Safari.

I've been connecting with an usecure link: https://in.ilxor.com/ILX/ but it's still causes problems.

are you getting literally poxy fuled, or something else?
