TamperMonkey Script

[Wandering Mind]

I can't believe it took me so long to even start using the script in the first place.  New things tend to scare me away.  Thanks Ssieth!

You're most welcome :)

You can put new ones in the new database, though, and this one is developed by Oracle so I have more trust in it :)

For any techheads out there.. old DB was MySQL and the new one is Postgres.

You sure you don't have that backwards? Oracle owns MySQL, not Postgres. :)

Yeah - I should have written isn't :)

Oh, good. I was getting worried about you for a second there. ;)

Yeah - I have to code for Oracle on a day-to-day basis and... ugh... the way it does schemas...

Ssieth, I'm going to preface this with the full acknowledgement I have no idea how you scripted this, or what limits there may be. I really appreciate the script doing so much already!

I do have one request, though. Unless I'm mistaken, the only way to edit tags for a thread is to be in the thread and hit the bookmark button. Could there be another way, maybe from the bookmarks page itself? There are checkboxes already, so you can delete bookmarks, maybe you could use them somehow but add a button that just says "manage tags"? I only ask because I'm really fond of unread messages linking right to the message, but whenever you go and mess around with the bookmark, it seems like it reloads the thread so the unread marker gets lost. You can mark it unread again, but it'll send you to the original post/top of the page or something like that.

This might be what you are talking about... On your bookmarks page, to the left of the threads is that two page type of icon. If you click that it will bring up the Tags Dialogue.

I could be wrong but hopefully this helps.

Now don't I feel foolish.

Yes, thank you! That's precisely what I was looking for, I just hadn't considered the icons!

Thank you, Nymphadora, and you too, Ssieth!

[Nymphadora]

Don't! I only found them by accident myself and well into working with the script.

Glad i could help!

Can anyone explain what the "filtering" is used for?

[Ssieth]

Can anyone explain what the "filtering" is used for?

I can explain what I created it for and how I use it.  Not sure what everyone else might use it for.

Basically I wanted a way to mark or hide posts in the roleplays-wanted forums so that I didn't end up reading the same ones over and over that I had already determined weren't for me.  Then I created a highlight filter as well to mark the ones I might want to look back at later on :)

Generally, they are a way to flag or hide particular topics :)

[Al Terego]

Thanks SSieth!

Does the filtering work on topic name or topic ID?

What do the different filter types (Hide, General Mark, Genre, Gender, Question, Hilight) mean?

It should work on ID (IIRC).  Except for 'Hide', all of the filters are just different styles of marking the row.  Hide, obviously just disappears the topic from the list.

General Mark, Genre, Gender: All of these apply strike-through to the text and grey out the row.  Genre and Gender also apply an icon to the row - I use them to indicate stories I'm not interested in due to genre or gender or some other factor.
Hilight applies a bright yellow highlight to the row and I use it to mark up topics I might be interested in revisiting.
Question applies a more subtle highlighting and an icon with a question makr.  I use it to flag up topics where I'm either uncertain or would need more info to know if I was interested.

Ah, thank you!

Is there a way that we can stop a draft from automatically reloading. I know sometimes I get the "time out" pop up when I've taken a while to post, and the last few times, its brought up an old draft that wasn't related to the post I was trying to make and my post disappears. Even after I've cleared it.

Do you have auto-load drafts set in your script settings?  If so, just switch that off and all should be well :)

Hi, I have just installed this in Firefox 75 and I'm not seeing any way to use it. You mention drop down menus but where do they drop down from? My E pages seem to be unchanged and the script info tab under Greasemonkey doesn't give any hints. Sorry to be a tech-peasant :)

I'm afraid it doesn't work in GreaseMonkey since they updated to require scripts in ES6 format  You need to use TamperMonkey or an equivalent :)

[Haibane]

So it doesn't work in Firefox?

[Nymphadora]

It does, you just have to use Tampermonkey instead of Greasemonkey. :) They are pretty much the same functionality wise.
