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

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.

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.

fair enough \(^o^)/

it can't be gone soon enough afaic

the things you think are useless I just can't understand...

I do hope it goes to live w/ a nice family in Preferencesville tho so that everyone can be happy!

WmC - who are you talking to? I'm sure it's useful for the right person (markers) it's just making me crazy.

just quoting Steely Dan, don't mind me

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?

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.

(Oh to fully answer, I think there was a day back in the beginning where I did store it in the database - it's still in there; it's just not used, but it was probably in 2007 now).

I am trying to persevere with nuBookmarks and am becoming used to it. Most of the problems are down to my own impatience and random clicking that there's no need for.

Ok, thanks, Keith. No problem, this way I check out another stylesheet by accident once in a while :-)

hi keith, while we've got you, stet asked me to ask you to disable this "flag post" function, says thanks in advance

btw the bookmark thing is still doing the thing where it goes to the top of the page

Write about grocery groin to the tune of Ernie K Doe's "Mother in Law"

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.

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

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?

download Zing Touch from the app store!

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.

Is that expected?

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 :)
