Ever since I upgraded to FF 3.0 my SALR quick reply hasn't worked. I figured maybe it was something everybody was having an issue with but I went back through the past few pages and I haven't seen any mention. This is what I get when I try to create a new thread or post using the quick reply.

It just stays like that permanently. Anybody else having this issue?

This is happening for me as well. I can type my own text in the box, but the Submit button is grayed out and stays that way. The same thing happens whether I do Quote or Reply.

What happens if you close and reopen? For some reason a lot of people are getting missed requests or something, so that first time just sits there waiting, but trying again the request gets through, and you get what you asked for.

I just got this error, any idea what it's about? It popped up when quick reply popped up, and I started writing a reply to a quote.

THEN, I just got this issue trying to attach that image to quick reply:

It didn't pop up when I attached it, but when I clicked Submit.

Do you mean the Quick Reply window? Closing it and reopening it doesn't work for me.

duz posted:

Yes. Do you think that's part of the problem? It always starts out with live preview open, without me doing anything to make it so.

Edit: Turning off live preview doesn't seem to change anything.

I sometimes have to click "Submit" twice or three times on the Quick Reply window. This started, I think, when I upgraded to FF3. Not always, for some reason.

Bullio: May 11, 2004; Seriously...

I get the submit button problem at times too. Both on this computer and the one at work. Also, it seemed to hang on "Retrieving post quote" with the submit button grayed out in the last post I made. However, when I closed and reopened it worked fine other than submit needing an extra click.

I think it has to do with Firefox 3 also.

Edit: Sorry, I'm a retard who doesn't read the entire thread or the OP. Since this is already reported I'll be quiet now.

I cannot imagine an instance where it would be useful to use the same emoticon more than 20 times.

Edit: A toggle would be useful I suppose. It is possible that it would be useful for Let's Play posts, but it's pretty rare that even those use emotes that much per post anymore.

Occurs with it both on and off; seeing the suggestion to try several times, I also checked whether it would work if I did that, and if I switched preview states between attempts. No go, with or without other addons active.

Yeah, I think this is happening to buttons totally unrelated to SALR as well. Hopefully this means there's nothing wrong on this end and an update to Firefox 3 will fix it.

The only time I've ever even noticed the change was in lengthy "dialogue" posts. For example:

Other than stuff like that, I wouldn't have even known a change was made.

I have missed the feature that provided link backs to original posts in quotes ever since radium banned it. I've had the idea for a while of a poor man's version that keeps a big hash of usernames => userid and automatically converts quote links to showthread.php?threadid=xxxx&userid=yyyy . It's obviously very simple to implement but I didn't know how to make Firefox extensions until I made this one. The only reason that it couldn't be a trivial greasemonkey script is that you need to read and write the hash of names to a local file every time you open/close the browser. I'm not sure if this will be an issue for like 30,000 names. But anyways, the point is that I personally love it because you don't need to go back page after page doing a CTRL+F on the name to find the post being quoted, so I think it might be a good addition to SALR. I'm not trying to be a cocktease and be like "Heres my sweet extension but nobody can have it but me", I just don't have an interest in maintaining an extension and I'm sure any of the SALR people could implement it in 5 minutes if they think its a good idea.

I'm talking about a link like the one in the quote. Since quotes don't nest even one level, it's very hard to follow conversations in many threads. You would need a database of user ids unless you only link to users who have posted on the same page as they were quoted, which is not usually when it's needed anyways. Also you can do more fancy stuff like pass in part of the text of the quote, and then do a substring match against all of the posts, thereby jumping automatically to the post in question most of the time (unless the quoter removed the text of the post, or it's not in the first 40 posts that the quoted person made in the thread).

the_ruiner gave me the motivation to change up the quote/code boxes up in a completely different way. I dislike the forums new gray text for quotes, and I got to playing around from there.

I came up with another quotebox design that I thought I would share:

code:

.bbc-block
{
    background-color: white !important;
    border: 1px solid black !important;
    padding: 0px            !important;
}

.bbc-block h4
{
    border: none                   !important;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black !important;
    font-style: normal             !important;
    padding: 3px                   !important;
}

.salrQuoteOfSelf h4
{
    background-color: #C691D9 !important;
}

.bbc-block blockquote
{
    padding: 7px 7px 7px 7px !important;

Gvaz posted:

It goes in the userContent.css file (which you may need to create) in your Firefox profile folder/directory.

If you are on Windows XP, it goes here: [WINDOWS DRIVE]:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[YOUR PROFILE]\chrome\userContent.css

Here is the Mozilla page on locating your profile directory if you are using linux or Mac. (Use the "Show Customized Content For" links to select your OS.)

Here is the Mozilla page on userContent.css along with other configurable files.

You will need to close and restart Firefox to see the changes. Also, coloring quoteblocks that quote you requires the option be turned on in SALR.

I'm not sure what or if anything changed but my Quick Reply seems to be working now. The Submit button is no longer grayed out when I open it up. The only thing I've noticed now is that, like someone else mentioned, I have to hit the Submit button twice to make it go. That's not even an issue though really as I'm just glad to have it working.

Crop Top Skank: Apr 4, 2007

Quick Reply/Quote/Post/Edit are all still in the same broken state for me... with my normal Firefox profile. Just for testing purposes I made a new profile (which I'm using to make this reply) and that seems to solve the problem. I'm not ready to switch over to using a new profile, though. I can only guess that something is keeping the Quick Reply window from being able to read the thread for some reason (and only in certain older profiles - I made mine around the time of the early FF3 betas).

Edit: I did have to click submit twice.
