This is minor, but in the Firefox version you could pick your own images for the mark unread/jump to last read links. Any chance of that option making its way over eventually?

Well, thanks for that. I tried unzipping the thing and swapping out the images I wanted, but chrome came up with the incredibly helpful error "bad magic number" when I went to install it. :v:

If possible, I'd like an option to move the number of unread posts over by the buttons like so:



This is a nice hybrid between the built-in display on the forums and the current SALR'd display, I think. I personally prefer the buttons to the gray box, but hate looking over to the right for the number of new posts.

Bug/feature request: when you click the ? under a user's avatar to filter the thread to just their posts, the next/previous page widget doesn't remember the little "&userid=12345" when going to the next/previous page, so you end up in the unfiltered thread again. Minor thing but eh.

Also, it occasionally does this:

I just reinstalled the extension, the other stuff is rendering so it's not a case of something taking too long to load. Weird.

Would it be possible for it to prevent image loading in already-read posts? Would make catching up in pic threads a lot easier.

It highlights SOME threads I've posted in, but not all of them. I don't see the point anyway since I don't generally follow threads I'm not participating in so eventually they'll all be highlighted.

Would it be possible to get an option to remove the little platinum user grenade icon? Adblocking the image itself doesn't actually work for some reason.

Seconding "gently caress this font"; the old one was fine and had the advantage of not looking like complete poo poo

Stop using old versions and Windows XP and turn DirectWrite back on.

Neither of these things has any relation to the new forums font being terrible.

No, not anymore. If you have the option disabled, now SA will do it for you. Even if you have it enabled SA is doing it. Hence it's going away (maybe I'll replace it with an option to disable embedding).

Fuzzy Mammal: Looking into this, I'm not sure SALR is the cause of the failure. What happens when you disable SALR and browse SA in normal browser mode? Do tweets embed correctly then?

I can't get tweets to convert to inline by any combination of settings or even disabling the extension, either. Is that still a thing the forums are supposed to do?

(the whitespace under the post)

I vaguely remember seeing other posts about it but I can't find any now, so wtf. It's happening on different machines running different versions of windows, if that matters at all. It does not appear (in this thread) in any post prior to that one, and does in every post since, but not the ones in reverse order on the reply page right now.

The bottom of every single post looks like this for me. I'm guessing it has something to do with the font of everything being slightly larger/different (although I may be imagining the font being larger/different, not sure on that one yet).

Anyone figure out what's hosed since then?


Real E: Looking in other threads, it appears to have to do with the width of the date/time text in the post



Nov 9 doesn't wrap to a new line, but Nov 10 does, then Nov 11 doesn't. 10:07 wraps, 11:26 doesn't, 12:28 does. The fix is probably making that column ten pixels wider, or putting the buttons on the left closer together.

So just make td.postdate font-size smaller? It shouldn't affect everything else.

I tried that already and maybe I'm doing it wrong but it doesn't do poo poo.


So here's the only place I can find "postdate" in this css thing:



There's no size line so I steal one from elsewhere and edit the number:



I can set that to 10 or 500 and it doesn't actually DO anything.
