about image embeds. what site should one use?. i recently learned imgur is banned in the uk or something to that effect.

I can’t help you there... I dunno.

I just make the software 🤣

And you get notifications of new threads regardless.

niiiice! that all makes sense. and nice to have the option for people who prefer not to have it be “live” (tbh i might be like that at work, otherwise i’ll lose my job lol)

oisif, https://postimages.org works well for me.

So I suppose the obvious question is why don’t I just let you upload to ILX, and the answer there is not that it’s hard to do; it’s pretty easy, it’s that it also requires bandwidth costs, and also some means of assurance that people aren’t posting problematic stuff.

just testing out what it looks like when multiple people reply to a single post

fwiw i use imgbb.com, but it’s just because it’s the first one i used that worked and it’s free

wait there can be “chat” enabled on a thread? ok, checking that box. i will hold a youtube watch party at a future time. i suggest moving these options to the bottom, just to get the posting/message box (whatever i’m in now) further up/ more prominent, but nbd!

here’s a google maps embed:

Reply behaves differently, if you reply to something from a ‘while back’.

As in, it quotes the thing you’re replying to.

yes, its banned so we cant see it. Please use https://imgbb.com/

if you copy the link does it embed as a quote? if so that’s wonderful

well, kinda. i guess what i was after was the ‘reply’ quote which produces that some of the time?

UFO, reply quotes a bit of the post (and links to it), if it’s more than about 8 posts back. If it’s closer than that, it just quotes the poster name, as I was worried about tons of duplicate information going all over the place.

If you copy a link, it always embeds a snippet.

I didn’t either. Not that I use it.

I just wanted to say I voted for maps as #1 because they don’t love you like I love you

embeds suck! urls rule!

love the fact that u can disable all embeds in current ilx preferences

I’m glad you liked it. I had forgotten I made it (20 years ago). The first person who likes it told me that yesterday, which is part of the problem when gauging what people like and don’t like.

So I have it on the list to hide images, embeds etc.
