Yeah some anchoring magic might work but the way the slide out panels works can get a bit goofed up as a result. It'll take some playing.

I was just looking at this thread for the answer to the same question - I have mouse gestures turned on but as a result apparently I can't right-click the forums at all.

True fact, i worked tirelessly to make this the default behavior when originally writing the feature and after hearing numerous complaints havent been able to reverse the behavior. I will look into it when I have a chance.

Anyone know what the default thread highlight colours are for the Firefox version of SALR? For some reason Firefox and Chrome SALR have different highlight colour values and I've always preferred FF's more matte look to Chrome's neon

When I first built the extension I tried replicating the same colors and for whatever reason Chrome refused to display them. If you find them I'd be interested to know if they work for you. Try using Firebug to inspect the DOM with the Firefox extension running, that should show you the color hex.

It may have been Chrome way back when that was the problem. I originally wrote the extension before extensions were available even in the beta channel, so poo poo was breaking left and right. Either way, thanks for posting the values! I'm going to use them too.

Love this extension; one quick question.

I have the highlight mod posts checked but I left highlight mod names unchecked:



This works great in the threads but at the forum level it seems to highlight mod names anyhow:



Is this expected behavior? Unchecking highlight mod posts causes the names at the forum level to stop being highlighted.

Ha, I have no idea to be honest. I only ever use the highlight names feature, so for me that hasn't been tested in god knows how long.

Ferg, is it possible to integrate an option to disable SALR in certain forums? Thread highlighting makes the YOSPOS completely unreadable, so I'm forced to either disable SALR or adblock 219.css.

Martytoof posted:

While we're at it, is there any way that you can find a way to make 219.css a user selectable option in the SALR preferences? I don't mind loading it, but being able to disable it after the page loads would be fine.

And yes, I realize that AdBlock should work, but for some reason it stopped :[

Seems like a pretty simple solution. I'll take a crack at it.

He's talking about embedded Youtube if you explicitly link to Youtube in a post.

I'm looking through the embedded API docs but all I can find is that adding ?hd=1 to the end of the embed URL is all you need. It's definitely not working though. Does anybody know how to get it to force HD res? I'll roll out Zeph's changes with this if I can find a solution.

Is there some setting I'm missing to get "Highlight thread counts in yellow if you've posted there before" to work? I have it checked but it doesnt do anything. I read the OP, but what setting am I supposed to change in my CP?

It's been semi broken for a while. It worked great while I was testing it and then when I pushed it live I noticed it was terribly unreliable. Turns out that the API I was using was nixed from the HTML5 spec so I'm assuming that's the culprit. I'll need to rewrite it to fix it at some point.

Is there a way to backup one's settings except for just screenshotting the settings screen?

I just checked the Options page documentation for the first time in a year or so and they still haven't evolved that at all. A backup feature is technically feasible, and I will be doing a sync service for Awful for Android in the near future, so maybe I can integrate this feature request with that service.

On the settings screen, Automatically collapse large quotes is on there twice, under Thread Options and at the bottom in Other Options.

Thanks for spotting this! Both were actually used but only one was needed. I've removed the bottom one.

Is there a way this extension could be used to fix 219.css in YOSPOS so the Post, Reply, Quote, and Ratings buttons are fixed?

Thanks all around! I only asked about the backup because I thought I read in one of the Android threads that the settings automatically restored but I have to reinstall Chrome Portable on my USB drive every time a new version comes out and it'd never done it for me. Good to know I'm not crazy.

Settings auto backup on the Android app which might be what you read. Right now for SALR settings are purely client side. Definitely will be something I look into for the sync feature I'm adding to the Android app though.

I think this was talked about before, for me, the colors on several different computers and screens are way too light. It makes it difficult to tell between read and unread, I put in the colors the Firefox version uses but still the same problem. Is this a Chrome problem with color rendering? About the only thing that stops me from using the Chrome full time.

When I originally wrote the extension that was the only feature and I tried to use the exact colors from the Firefox extension but they straight up didn't render at all, so I picked the current defaults and left it at that. Recently somebody posted the hex values for the Firefox extension and I tried them again and while they're rendering now I still couldn't read them that well. I guess its a Chrome thing? On the rare occasion that I use Firefox the defaults still look great there.

Well, at first I was missing the little Grenade jump list thing, but then I finally found the setting for it. And then Quick Reply wasn't working, but I'm typing in that box right now. The only other issue I've noticed is that when I enable moderator/admin highlighting, it highlights their username in the thread list, even if I have name highlighting turned off.

Is there any way to customize the jump list and have it only show a specific selection of forums?

First time you reply to a thread the quick reply won't work, its a prep thing while it gathers necessary bits required to work. I'll look into the highlighting.

Its been a long time since I looked at the jump list...I think I remember there being a pinning feature, or it was at least discussed. I don't use the feature personally so its tough to say.

brc64 posted:

The list pinning is a pretty major thing for me. There's only about 5 forums I regularly look at, and having quick access to each is pretty handy. Of course, since the grenade icon only shows up when I'm already on the forums, I'm still out of luck if I'm on some other site. Maybe I should just bookmark each forum and get at them through that instead...

I'm on my phone at the moment so I can't grab a link but head back to the Chrome Web Store and search for Something Awful. I have a separate browser bar extension that makes the jump list global. It works with your SALR settings so just keep both installed.

As for the pinning, I'll take a look in a bit. I know it cropped up at some point.

Using the quick reply in marked threads results in deleting the bookmark.

I know this is sort of off-topic, but I'll give it a shot:

Is there a compiled version of the Safari version of SALR which is compatible with Safari 5? I know there's a version on Ferg's git, but it hasn't been updated in two years.

Anyone know?

That extension got next to no traction. There was a thread for it but it got maybe 3 replies. If you want to get it up and running you should be able to merge it with the Chrome repo to merge all the upstream changes, or at least that will get you on the right track. I organized everything so both could be easily kept in sync.

Thanks to potential rioting in downtown Chicago I'm working from home today, have an insanely loose schedule, and will get this out first thing this morning.

I came to mention I'm having the same problem in Win7 after raising the minimum font size in Chrome (I got tired of websites with tiny fonts). Also the down arrow and X button take about half minute or so to show up so if I change my mind after clicking quote/reply, I have to wait about 30 seconds or so to close the quick reply box.

I'll have to test this on Ubuntu, typically I run OSX. It's an excuse to fix the weirdness in the imgur uploader as well on that platform. Got a few pull requests that I'll roll out soon as well.

Hey, sorry to be a pain, but an option to disable the "Edit Bookmarks" button on the Bookmarked Threads page would be great: It doesn't play nicely with Fancy SA Forums on that page, though it looks fine on the main User CP Page.


Master_Odin posted:

So with the new top buttons, this happens with the page navigator for SALR:


Perhaps hide the button in the lower right corner? (I modified \js\salr.js to have:
code:
jQuery('div.jump_top.right').css("right","-100px");
in:
code:
SALR.prototype.updateStyling = function() {
Trying display: none won't really work so I guess "hiding" it is better?

Another possibility would be to move the navigator over I guess, but if the Firefox thread is any indication, I think people would prefer the location of the navigator and get rid of UP button.

Just getting back from an insane amount of weddings. I'll look into these as soon as I get caught up on work stuff, or if anybody throws me a pull request I can roll out a quick release.
