Why doesn't the plugin auto-update itself any longer?

I believe that by default, Firefox only checks once a week for updates.

I was not aware of that. I thought it was daily or random or something.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2098 will help with that. It picks up updates much faster.

Thanks!

I use All-in-one-gestures. I mostly use mouse gestures for zooming in and out of pages and to close tabs. It's also useful to open several links in separate tabs at the same time.

That ban history thing is sweet. Thanks!

Please pardon my ignorance, but I think this is a great idea and I'd like to add it to my version. Trouble is, I don't know how. Can anybody point me in the right direction here?

There's probably a way using some patch tool, but gently caress that, I'm not installing any of that just to add a few lines of code

I did this:
- download the latest version of the salastread.xpi and save it somewhere where you can find it
- rename the file ending to zip
- extract the file salastreadOverlay.js from chrome/content/salastread/ in the zip file
- open with a text editor like notepad++ and search for "//add user coloring/note links"
- above that line add

code:

//ban history link
var banHistLink = doc.createElement("li");

var banHistAnchor = doc.createElement("a");
		banHistAnchor.href = "/banlist.php?userid=" + posterId;
		banHistAnchor.title = "Show poster's ban/probation history.";
		banHistAnchor.innerHTML = " Ban History";
banHistLink.appendChild(banHistAnchor);
banHistLink.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(" "));
profileLink.parentNode.parentNode.appendChild(banHistLink);

- save the file
- overwrite the file in the zip
- rename to xpi
- drag and drop the xpi file in your browser window to install

I'm probably going to get flamed to death for this, but I don't care.

Maybe it's time to consider putting this old horse down. Most of the core functionality has been subsumed by the forum itself, and what's left breaks often and stays broken for days or weeks at a time. The days when something broke and a fix came out within hours appear to be over.

Salastread hasn't been broken for months. Consider hitting that update button in the Tools > add-on menu every once in a while. :confused:

I was using the latest build as specified by the first post. Some threads had highlighting that wouldn't go away even after clicking the 'mark thread unread' button. I'm pretty sure that's a known issue. I also had a strange mix of forum-style buttons and SALR-style buttons, which I presume was caused by the known issues with that functionality.

The first thing you mention as a bug doesn't happen to me, and the second one has definitely been recently fixed, so maybe you don't actually have the current version.

What's the syntax in the userContent.css again if I want to hide links? There are quite a few links like "http://forums.somethingawful.com/adlist.php" that I never use that I want to hide.

Something like this?

code:

a:[[url]http://forums.somethingawful.com/adlist.php[/url]] {display: none !important;}

It's been so long since I used this

My menu has been broken all day, and still is. I supposed they changed something again and SALastread is making GBS threads itself.

Lollerich: Mar 25, 2004; The little doctors are back,

Funny thing that.
I just noticed my menu works again.

I haven't done anything different than before. I know we should visit a thread or the forums list or whatever first to have the menu rebuilt and I did all that and it didn't help.

Now, out of the blue the menu is fixed. I just don't know what to say, man.

It's because of a typo in the script, there's a greasemonkey script someone posted that fixes that. Greasemonkey lists it as "SA Forums Postcount Correction", and it works a charm for me.

It works for me without additional scripts and always has :confused:

I think ctrl-click on a link is default for opening a link in a new tab. So, using that might not be such a good idea.

It would be better in my opinion if the advanced filters were applied per forum, and not globally. An E/N thread in Games would be unusual and probably something worth taking a look at, while it probably isn't worth reading if it's in GBS.

I have feature request. The forums also resize pictures in quotes and it annoys me. Sorry, I am that petty.
Would you consider adding a toggleable feature that undoes this?

By default it doesn't convert quoted images, double check extensions.salastread.dontConvertQuotedImages to make sure.

It's set to true. Maybe it works correctly and I didn't notice.

Lollerich: Mar 25, 2004; The little doctors are back,

I have a suggestion about how to fix this problem semi-permanently. Instead of checking the forums jump menu all the time or whenever it is checked, check it once, keep it in the SALR data file, and only check it again, when the user forces a check.

For example, when a new sub-forum is opened, users may want to have it refreshed and can do so, if they wish to.

This would be orders of magnitude less annoying than having the SALR forum selection menu break in random intervals for a random number of people. Also, having the same goddamn questions about it every single loving time it happens.

I check the thread regularly, because I'm interested in what's being done with updates and such, 99% of all posts are from confused people about how the menu is broken, yet again.

Looks like the menu problem is caused by the YOSPOS title (possibly the em-dash); open saforumlist.xml and delete it and restart Firefox and the menu will be back. YOSPOS ruins everything

That didn't work for me.

when SAlastread is active a few Avatars like mine for example won't show. That is, I can see them loading and afterwards they are removed.
This happened "suddenly" even before I applied the new version linked above on this page.
Anyone got an idea what I can do about this?

There's a "Hide Avatar" option below the main body of every post. If it says "Show Avatar" instead then you accidentally clicked it.
