OP you can use

quoting:"username"

in search to see.

I wrote a thread parser a while back to get notifications about when i should post to get a page snype a while back, it wasn't that difficult. Search is limited to every ten ish seconds mind you, and there's probably further limiting when you poll more often. I'd recommend something set to 15m

edit: automated page snype notifications script here: https://tpaste.us/X1Be

Yours will have to be more complex because you want to check the content of the search results and parse those out. Wouldn't be that difficult to use an xml parser to extract the content, or just find the exact tag and grab everything between it I guess.

invaluable advice, thank you
i could probably write a basic scraper to check every few minutes, note down any quotes it sees, and ping me if it finds any that it didnt see the last time
this might actually be simpler than i thought

I actually kind of like ~~hate~~ the fact i can never see when ~~the fcuk~~ anyone has responded to my ~~AWESOME rear end~~ posts. It's really ~~annoying but ive learned to ignore it~~ calming and soothing on the soul :kimchi:

Checking for posts is what we call lurking, then you're reading posts rather than making posts and therefore you're a lurker, who, by law, must post

I recommend not lurking and always posting, it saves a lot of effort

i close my eyes, and get up from bed, cross my apartment and with one hand steadily outstreached i turn my chair to face me, take a seat, eyes still closed. the familiar sounds of my desktop booting up lead to the clacks of keys being depressed as my password is entered. a few more keystrokes, a few clicks, and a smile spreads across my face, extended even to my closed eyes. smile and laugh lines well worn.
i click, click again, and begin to type. soon, i can open my eyes, solid in the knowledge that i did not, will not, lurk today.
tap tap tap tap click.

Hallo new guy. If you think posting ITT will get you out of sharing pics of pets or discussing your favorite crimes, you are sadly mistaken. :radcat:

alright, newbie, *tucks icon away*, in order to truly be welcomed to this forum in which i am definitely an OG in, you must do my work for me

https://pastebin.com/JGs4kz4z

here is my code

im trying to call the 2 functions at the same time (so http requests go out at the same time), but function 2 shouldnt output its response unless function 1 is already finished running...

the problem is, i have no idea how Promises work, and apparently i've just made it so function 2 doesnt get called at all until function 1 is done*

*i feel bad already pls dont worry about my bugs**

**unless... haha....
