| Jul 23, 2013 at 22:11 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @Jop - honestly, it's because I have no interest in maintaining it or updating it, so I may as well let it free into the world so people can do as they wish with it. | |
| Jul 23, 2013 at 9:41 | comment | added | jobukkit | Public domain?! Wow. That's extreme. Awesome work! | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 0:50 | comment | added | thejh | My useragent string is "Links (2.7; Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686; GNU C 4.7; x)", so maybe check for "Links .*" or so? | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 0:47 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @thejh - do you have a useragent string I can check against? | |
| Mar 30, 2013 at 23:31 | comment | added | thejh | You might want to remove the "you're not using lynx" banner for xlinks2 users. | |

@GeorgeEdison mentioning Lynx? Lynx is the browser! (even if I have to admit that I tend to use just links)
|

| Jun 6, 2012 at 0:10 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @ObsessiveFOSS - glad I could be of assistance. I haven't touched the v2 API yet (figured there wasn't anything of value for this app to be added, plus their online authentication isn't text mode friendly). But if it ever becomes read-write I will update it :) | |
| Jun 5, 2012 at 23:49 | comment | added | nanofarad | @MarkHenderson You've rescued me through a half-working Ubuntu recovery mode. Thanks. Although, I'd love if the API wasn't read-only. :-( | |
| Feb 28, 2012 at 22:44 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @hhh - you can bypass the warning message, there's a link that says "I'm not going to stop you" - or, use this URL: column80.com/index.php?continue=y | |
| Feb 28, 2012 at 22:15 | comment | added | user8160 | I wish I could use this with Vim, ideas how to use this fast with Vim? It gets killed to the Warning msg?! | |
| Feb 28, 2012 at 22:09 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @hhh - no. The API does not expose these methods, not even the v2.0 API. | |
| Feb 28, 2012 at 22:04 | comment | added | user8160 | Is it possible answer/ask with this code somehow? I am not yet comforbtable in using Lynx to download the codes in questions for fast edition, is there any good videos or some help things for this? This may when used correctly to speed up things and kill nasty procrastination, ideas how? | |

| Apr 11, 2011 at 0:14 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @muntoo - if you read the description, it's not about being addicted, it's about being stuck in a console session with no other options and you still need to get access to Server Fault. | |
| Apr 10, 2011 at 22:40 | comment | added | Mateen Ulhaq | Why you'd be so addicted to SE to use this heavily is beyond me. | |
| Mar 7, 2011 at 4:13 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | If you want to save a bit of time, feel free to grab the source code and abuse it as much as you like | |
| Mar 6, 2011 at 10:51 | comment | added | Jakob Bowyer | Thanks. These will be clients rather than online, and I might depending on how it goes hack answering into it. | |
| Mar 6, 2011 at 10:48 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | Absolutally - Go for it :) | |

| Feb 13, 2011 at 23:33 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @Simon - unfortunately I had to change the system to run on cookies, so once the cookies have expired you'll need to go back to column80.com and start again | |

| Jun 21, 2010 at 5:32 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @George, yeah I need to update it to support the stackauth API endpoints as well so that could be a good oppertunity to put rewriting in. | |
| Jun 20, 2010 at 23:47 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | Just tried it in Lynx itself - works like a charm. One piece of advice - links to other questions in posts should probably be rewritten - like what I've done in my mobile site. | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 13:04 | comment | added | Tim Post | And for an excellent first search, try "80 column limit" :) | |
| Jun 11, 2010 at 23:47 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Far: It's okay. I missed that one too. I even asked a question about it :) | |
| Jun 11, 2010 at 23:03 | comment | added | Mark Henderson |
@George, I'm referring to the removal of the answers from the questions query. I had to use SODiff (stackapps.com/questions/631) to spot the change. I'm guessing it was probably mentioned in some question somewhere but I don't have the time or energy to read and track every single topic on StackApps. I might have been a bit harsh though because I was having a bad day - my son had been crying for three hours straight and I couldn't get him to sleep and then he pooped on me.

| Jun 11, 2010 at 23:01 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @Russel_h - no need for HTML Tables, as Lynx displays the HTML just fine in its current form, Lynx tables are only good for tabular data (like a spreadsheet, which is really what Tables were designed for in the first place). | |
| Jun 11, 2010 at 20:03 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | What are the "unannounced changes" you mention? | |
| Jun 11, 2010 at 18:04 | comment | added | russell_h | Nice idea! Have you tried it with HTML tables though? I've had good experiences with their rendering in lynx | |

| Jun 6, 2010 at 23:12 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @SeanJA, Good idea, thanks. I'll get that implemented sometime today. | |
| Jun 6, 2010 at 22:13 | comment | added | SeanJA | Since you are using PHP, you could just use the wordwrap function: php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php , no need for any pre tags me thinks? | |
| Jun 5, 2010 at 7:35 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | @Thomas, I used your search function out-of-the-box. It worked quite well, because the API requires the use of the options rather than a string, so I found it worked just fine. | |
| Jun 5, 2010 at 6:55 | comment | added | nobody | Yay, something useful came about as a result of my creations. What are you using for the search, considering that was the only method I haven't quite figured out the best way to do? | |
| Jun 5, 2010 at 1:39 | comment | added | Mark Henderson |
@Mark, one of my plans for down the track is to wrap words nicely at 80 columns which will fix that, and make it look OK in modern browsers as well (thank God for the <pre> tag)
|
|
| Jun 5, 2010 at 1:28 | comment | added | Mark Hurd | +1 And it does look OK in Chrome. The only issue I saw was long unwrapped lines, which makes sense when optimising for a text-based browser. | |
| Jun 5, 2010 at 0:43 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | ...and for mentioning Lynx :) | |
| Jun 5, 2010 at 0:43 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | +1 for acknowledging the console-lovers and treating them to this! | |
