And I just realized how many pages there are of this now so thought I'd repost the original instructions for anyone coming to this anew:
Hi there,
I'm one of those fussy people who never has the feature that they want on a site. Fortunately, for me at least, I'm also a programmer. So - I have a tendency to write scripts to tack on the features I desire and then, if I can kludge them into a not-too-buggy state, I make them available for anyone else who also desires the same features.
The scripts work using a firefox plugin called Grease Monkey (
http://www.greasespot.net/) or a chrome plugin called Tamper Monkey (
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo).
Then you just pop my script in there and it adds in the extra features.
The script can be found at:
https://openuserjs.org/scripts/Ssieth/Elliquiy_ImproverFeel free to let me know if it's useful, useless, confusing, broken etc :) If you want other features let me know too :)
So far those features are:
Hide PicturesThis hides avatars and images in posts. Why? I wanted the script to be able to hide them at work so I could use Elliquiy without fear of anyone glancing over and getting too interested in what I was doing.
Quick TopicsBookmarks by another name... this is a drop-down menu that has links to specific topics. You can set/remove topics with a new button on the topic button bar.
To be honest I created this before I was aware of the bookmarks feature but I like it better as I like my navigation to be all up there in that menu bar.
SnippetsThe ability to store frequently used bits of bbcode/text to be pasted into posts/PMs. I created this to make it easier to post with a standard character header. The interface is still a bit clunky... to remove a Snippet you have to click "Add Snippet" and then type in the snippet name with no body text.
DraftsSave and load drafts of posts and PMs
Speech AutostylingHave speech between double quotes styled up automatically so that it stands out.
Bookmark tagsOrganize bookmarks by tagging them. Include automatic tags for games where you were not the last person to post.
Shoutbox ColourColour your entries in the shoutbox to make it easier to pick them out.
Tidy up UITidy up the UI by removing header and footer items that you don't require and reorder the menus to make them a little tidier.
Auto-update PM and Replies countSet a an automatic update for PM and reply counts that appear at the top of the page.
User NotesAdd notes to users that appear above their avatar so that you can, for instance, be reminded of that you have played with a given user before.
SnippetsSave blocks of text (including markup) that you want to reuse and then simply pick them from the drop-down menu above the editor to insert them into a post or PM.
User ListsCreate and maintain lists of users that you can use to send out PMs. I use this for a list of people I am currently playing with to make it easier to contact them all when I know I'll be delayed in posting due to RL
You can also get a user search type of table for all of the users on a list, making it quick and easy to see who is online, who's not been around for a while etc...
WordcountsAre you the sort of person who likes to know how much they've typed? Wordcounts show alongside posts and also below the edit box when making a post or PM.
Topic FiltersMark, highlight or hide topics. I use this feature primarily for marking topics in the RP requests forums that I have read and know just aren't for me. It means I don't end up opening them again the next time I read through the forum.
AJAX buttonsA speed optimization that's currently still a work in progress. When it's done, I hope it will speed up some of the site UI elements. So far results are looking positive but there's still work to do :)
