    just make pinned topics flash as much as the ads on the side :D

    wait what? ads?

    i saw these once, because i opened LET on a browser without adblock. just a few seconds and i was permanently blinded :D

    I'm so blind to flashing ads that I don't notice them, as if they are not there. I only avoid being tracked, if the ads are not too intrusive I will not notice them.

    LET ads are not too intrusive.

    LET ads are not too intrusive.

    We have vastly different tolerance levels.

    The last time my filtering broke the entire right side of the browser window was a stack of flashing jumping wiggling shit that gave me instant brain seizures.

    It's basically geocities-tier shit.

    Yeah, the ads on the right don't bother me much either. At least not enough to do anything about them (yet). I am not sure if there are other ads on the site since if there are i don't see them.

    You can unpin/dismiss them yourself.

    How did I never know this?

    LET newb: No ad block, no uBlock, just raw dogging on light mode. Just copy/pastes yabs results without formatting. Not a care in the world. Room temperature IQ.

    LET pro: Ad block, uBlock (60+ fucking telemetry, elements and other BS trackers), dark mode always, custom ublock rules to remove retarded sidebar ads that are designed to look like forum components). Knows markdown. <--I was here.

    LET Expert: Personal housekeeping and dismissing a slew of pinned threads that were always annoying to me and less likely to be seen by me since I always immediately scroll past this section.

    What else am I missing?

    I just learned that a few weeks ago, myself. Someone else mentioned it in another thread.

    I'm also using @DeadlyChemist Firefox extension for LET, for highligting posts from specific users, and ignoring others.

    I was on the verge of vibe-coding one of those tbh. Good to know that extension exists.

    I've got a side project where I can see myself eventually building a whole new standalone LET front end. It started with just wanting an instant search with good UX to quickly go through results without opening links to comments/posts, but after using that a little I've realized how much better all other interactions with the site could be.

    We could dismiss pinned threads!?!? I've been a member since 2019 and this is the first time I learnt of it :confounded:

    Yeah, its kinda random. Once upon a time i figured this out by being a dumbass and clicking around in some kind of zoned out stupor. Its entirely one way though. Once you decide to unpin something there is no going back. Your decision is final.

    Well, I dont want them to come back either! Most are threads that I dont care about. If something new pops up and get pinned, maybe like black friday mega thread, sure. :lol:

    thanks for mention again
    yeah, every time i use LET without it i can't even find my own replies or mentions

    i'm actually thinking of expanding it

    the block is sooo good in megathreads when you are beeing offered a 128mb vps with 1/10 core for $99,99/m

    it's open source, feel free to make a PR and i'll happily merge and upload to mozilla

    it benefits the whole LET community

    Sadly mobile version looses so many benefits of desktop version.
