I found it now, thank you everyone.

I have trying to import my newest snippet settings, but even when it looks like it went through, it doesn't actually update my snippets. I saved a copy of the code for the updated snippets and followed the tutorial on it, but it's not working. Any tips on how to get the import settings to work?

Thanks in advance!

I figured out what I was doing wrong. There was an error in the code that I found and fixed.

Sorry for my slow response but I've been ill.

I'm back to feeling mostly-human now, though :)

Is there any chance you could email the export to me at: eli@ssieth.co.uk ?

That way I can take a look through the data and see if I can spot what is going wrong. It's very likely to be a special character that I've missed dealing with properly.

No worries at all. It's good to hear that you are feeling better.

I was able to figure out why it wasn't working. I messed up some of the coding, but was able to fix it.

I log onto E with two devices - my desktop and my laptop. I use Firefox and I have my account/browsers linked. I currently only have TamperMonkey script installed on my desktop. If I put it on my laptop as well, will changes I make to it on one sync with the other?

Not automatically but you can use the export and import from the "script settings" menu to grab those settings. You can either copy the export and paste it back or you can use the link to store it on my cabbit.org.uk web site :)

Okay, thanks!

Hi!

So, I've installed Greasy Monkey and the script, but nothing is happening. I'm not getting any new options or menus. ^^' I've tried asking for help, but we couldn't really figure it out, so here I am.

I know this isn't a whole lot to go on, but I really have no idea what the issue is. I'm using Firefox and everything else seems to be working fine. I've tried disabling various privacy extensions and updating the site, but nothing changed. It simply isn't doing anything.

Try using TamperMonkey. I don't think Greasemonkey works with the script anymore.

But I'm using Firefox? Isn't Tampermonkey the Chrome version?

It might have been at one time. I use TamperMonkey with Firefox.

Uhm..

How..? ^^'

It isn't letting me install it from the link provided in the original post in this thread.

Chasing Dreams · « **Reply #737 on:** November 27, 2020, 07:22:01 pm »

Try using the link in the tutorial here.

Nachtmahr · « **Reply #738 on:** November 27, 2020, 07:26:20 pm »

You are my hero! Thank you so much! That finally seems to have done the trick!

Chasing Dreams · « **Reply #739 on:** November 27, 2020, 07:29:04 pm »

You're welcome. I remembered reading something that was posted somewhere in here to use Tampermonkey. I'm glad it worked for you.

Another vote for Tampermonkey on Firefox.
Used to be a Greasemonkey user until version 3.

Oh man, I'm glad that my tutorial on how to install the script is still useful for people (even if I initially made it to help a friend set theirs up in a way I thought would work for someone less technically inclined)! It really is an excellent script, and I don't think I could ever go back to not using it

Your tutorial helped me install it on my laptops. It would have taken me forever to figure out how download it and it would have been after hours of complete frustration.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to make any of this actually work. ^^'

I'm not good with tech and stuff in general, but this is really throwing me for a loop. It seems that only about 15-25% of the stories that I tag in my bookmarks actually end up registering the tag, and the script seems to have made the site a bit unstable, with options flickering back and forth between the default and the changes brought about by the script.

I know that if you're opening multiple tabs at once to try and tag different pages, it won't work. You have to refresh the page, or open them one by one to tag them properly. As far as things being unstable, I'm not sure what you mean. When I log in to E, the script doesn't load right away and it sometimes takes just a few moments.

Welp, guilty as charged.

As for being unstable - I understand that it sort of flickers for a moment when it loads the script, but I seem to be getting a bit of lag and delay here and there. Like it's sort of snagging when loading new pages and such. It's difficult to explain when you don't have the right vocabulary.

Thanks nonetheless though!

Hmmm.. I think I might know how to give a bit of protection from the multi-tab problem. It won't be perfect but it should help a fair bit. I'll add it to the to-do list :)

The delay... hmmm... not sure what is going on there. There can be a little delay as the script has to wait for the page to load before it can kick in and do its stuff. It should never be desperately long, though, unless the page itself takes ages.

Well, you deserve a huge thanks for putting this mod together in the first place. :) Even if I'm struggling with it, I really like the features it adds.

Is it possible to reorganize tags as they appear on the BM-list, though? Or will it always be in order of when custom tags were created?

My BM tags all appear alphabetically, though I'm not sure if you can change the order.

Does data disappear after a while? I haven't used E in quite a while, and I went to import my settings from cabbit, it said there was no data found.
