Update! v1.99.100116 (this build is NOT up on addons.mozilla, so don't try to get it there!)

Note that the auto-update probably won't work since bountysource's security certificate expired, but you should be able to manually download/install it.

Changes include:
  • SALR will no longer forget about your bookmark preference for a thread when you use quick edit/quote/etc and are not using the "default 'subscribe' to checked" option
  • Advanced thread filtering is back! To use it, enable advanced thread filtering in the 'Forums' preference pane of the SALR settings.
  • The 'colors' pref pane is now completely functional! SALR will now respect your choices for FYAD and BYOB forum color settings. It will also now respect your color choices for unvisited threads and unseen posts, so don't be surprised if you had some hilarious settings there before but forgot about them. The 'Load Default Colors' button actually loads the default colors now (instead of doing something like a color choices-undo for the window), so if you screw your colors up too badly you don't need to worry about fixing them.
  • j&k keyboard navigation is working again.

Just confirming that it does not work. It just says that there was an error while trying to find the update.

I'm wondering if anyone is as addicted to the custom user notes feature as I am. Since installing SALR about a year or so ago I must have about 50 notes.
You're not alone - I've been using SALR for over two years and I probably have at least that many user notes.

Edit: One minor issue with the update - the dotted outline which visually indicates which post is currently in focus is gone. The N/M keyboard navigation still works, just no outline (at least not in my browser).

The custom notes is way too convoluted to use. You have to click about 6 buttons to leave a note. I use "Goon Notes" which is a Greasemonkey script someone wrote and is a lot simpler.

also I'd like to repeat my request for a "Show your posts" link somewhere, maybe next to the "Who posted" link since that would be pretty useful.

Whoops! I miscategorized the small snippet of CSS that goes along with that when I did the color update. It's been put in the right place now, and I've uploaded a fixed version (see download link in last post). Sorry for the inconvenience!

Nope. I'll take a look at what might be causing this.

Update: It seems to happen if the browser is started and navigated to a forum after salastread.sqlite is created (i.e. someone has installed salr for the first time). Restarting the browser seems to solve the problem, but I'll poke around and see what's causing it. Let me know if restarting your browser doesn't fix it for you in the meantime.

Update 2: Found the bit of code responsible. Working on fixing it now.

Update 3: Fixed. It was some deprecated code that was responsible, so it was an easy fix. A new build without that deprecated code has been uploaded. :)

Right now there is little reason to use the Red/Yellow bookmark colors if you use SALR. I've been thinking about how to change that, and this is the best I've come up with so far:



Any thoughts?

Is there any known compatibility issue with Adblock Plus? I'm on the latest versions of both SALR and ABP (1.99.100116 and 1.1.3, respectively). Linux, FF3.5.7. When I have ABP enabled, I often get pages (both threads pages and forum display pages) only partially load. From looking at the debug output, SALR will throw an error about this or that being null (e.g., numPages). When I look at a packet capture of that page load, I see that I got the whole page over the wire, including the element that SALR is bombing out on. Doing a no-cache reload (shift-F5) will make it always work correctly. Doing a regular reload will make it fail at least half the time. Disabling ABP makes it always work correctly.

Example error:

SALastRead application err: message: numPages is null
fileName: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul -> chrome://salastread/content/salastreadOverlay.js
lineNumber: 403
stack: handleForumDisplay([object XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper])@chrome://browser/content/browser.xul -> chrome://salastread/content/salastreadOverlay.js:403
SALR_onLoad([object Event])@chrome://browser/content/browser.xul -> chrome://salastread/content/salastreadOverlay.js:226

name: TypeError

If I hack it to get past that (e.g., always use pageList[0]), it'll just throw a similar error an another element on the page.

Are your adblock filters hitting something on the forum pages?

As an aside, I've used both adblock and SALR for a long, long time with no issues. I additionally just tested it against the latest firefox/adblock/salr in a linux VM with a fresh profile and had no issues there, either.

I've been getting half-loaded pages from SA for a while now. I used to run SALastRead, but have since uninstalled it. I still get part loading pages.

I think (I'm going only by memory here) it only happens through Firefox on my Mac - I think its not happening through Firefox on my PC.

I'm using my PC now, will be paying attention to this for a while.

I had assumed it was just the connection to SA (SA running pretty heavily loaded most of the time)

Sorry, after some more testing, Kuru is right. I get the problem even with SALR disabled.

Automatic updates for SALR are broken because bountysource's security certificate expired. You'll need to manually download updates for now.

While you're in there could you fix right clicking on the forum menu? It used to just open up the forum in a new unselected tab but now it also brings up the context menu. Nothing major but opening forums from the menu is probably my most used feature of SALR.

I'm going to second this request. It really is my most used feature of SALR as well and it's among the things I'm actually waiting for before upgrading to Firefox 3.6 on my home PC. (next to some other plugins)

That's because it gets populated by the dropdown menu that's on the bottom of every page, and that one still links to the old one as well. So post in the QCS forum if you want to get it fixed

Double-check your forum-side "Mark posts on pages I've already seen in a different color" preference and your SALR "Don't perform color highlighting on posts in a thread" preference.

It looks like it scrolled off the bottom of the frame. You might still be able to unignore a thread if you highlight it, hit tab and then hit space.
