Is there an SALR for Safari3? I recently upgraded and miss all of the SALR functionality, but can't find the old SALR for Safari thread nor any mention of Safari in this thread.

here is the only archived thread I could find on the topic. I would really like an SALR for safari. I doubt anything will ever come to fruition

Is "Highlight quoted interesting people" under the Colors menu supposed to do quotes of admins/mods/customs in a similar fashion to yourself? If so it's not working, if not it should

It works just fine for me, but then when i highlight people, I give them much different background color settings than normal. I'll test this though, hold on.

OK i tested it with you:

It highlights with the background color you selected, I just happened to choose yellow for you.

Tested mods and admins, and no. You're right though, it should, so I'll fix that later. Custom users should be colored in their quotes though (as shown above), including any custom colors applied to mods/admins, it's just not doing the blanket mod/admin background colors from the drop down boxes.

Swilo: Jun 2, 2004; ANIME SUCKS HARD

Weird, yesterday I'd swear it wasn't working on custom users but now it is. The mods and admins were my real target anyway, it's a great feature for squelching noise in threads; kind of like the '?' posts by user link the forums added.

Triple Tech: Jul 28, 2006; So what, are you quitting to join Homo Explosion?

I just installed the version that was last linked in a mirror, 080122.

I can't ignore threads anymore. The context menu says "Inspect Element" grayed out.

Also, I don't know how to reproduce this, but sometimes SALR just stops working. I have to reboot FireFox to get it back.

Otherwise, great add-on. I might make more false promises to join your team and help you develop!

`Inspect Element` is from FireBug, sounds like your profile might have gotten corrupted.

Nevermind, I just read about the icon changes.

Generally, it takes a bit of time for the colors to load. I thought that once they'd loaded once, they'd be remembered by the site, and not have a ten-second loading period for the colors to come. Hmmm.

You mean the custom highlighting?

That's done by SALR after the page has finished loading, rather than as the page loads.

Brodeurs Nanny: Nov 2, 2006

Gotcha. I'm still noticing that unvisited threads are staying the default color, instead of the custom colors I chose for them. Is that still being worked on? Threads I've visited work fine.

You can do that through userContent.css in your profile's chrome directory, though I'm not sure if it depends on SALR

code:

body.somethingawfulforum_showthread_php img[src="http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/forum-post.gif"] { display: none;}

You might be able to do something in Greasemonkey like this (code is totally untested and probably very wrong):

code:

if (location.pathname != 'showthread.php') return;

xPathQuery = document.evaluate(
	'//div[@class="threadbar_bottom"]/ul[@class="postbuttons"]/li[descendant::
img[@src="http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/forum-post.gif"]]',
	document,
	null,
	XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE,
	null);
postButton = xPathQuery.iterateNext();

postButton.parentNode.removeChild(postButton);

Revolvyerom posted:

Oops. I told you it was untested. I think the problem was that the div was named "threadbar bottom" and not "threadbar_bottom" like I thought, but along the way, I found a much more appropriate way to query for a single result using XPaths. I don't think class and id names are supposed to have spaces in them, but oh well, these aren't my forums.

quote:

// @name Something Awful Post Button Remover

// @namespace Zorilla

// @description Removes the "Post" button from thread views in the Something Awful Forums

// ==/UserScript==

if (location.pathname !== '/showthread.php') return;

function xpathQuery(inputElements) {

return document.evaluate(

inputElements,

document,

null,

XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,

null);

}

// Hide "Post" buttons from thread displays - they will be kept in code because SA Last Read needs at least one to add Quick Quote/Reply buttons

var postButtons = xpathQuery('//div[@class="threadbar top" or @class="threadbar bottom"]/ul[@class="postbuttons"]/li[descendant::img[@src="http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/forum-post.gif" or @src="http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/buttons/fyad-post.gif" or @src="http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/buttons/byob-post.gif"]]');

for (var i = 0; i < postButtons.snapshotLength; i++) {

var postButtonCurrent = postButtons.snapshotItem(i);

postButtonCurrent.style.display = 'none';

}

// Fix bottom bar padding

var threadBarBottom = xpathQuery('//div[@class="threadbar bottom"]').snapshopItem(0);

threadBarBottom.style.paddingBottom = '3px';}

I actually bothered to test it this time and it should work.

Edit: the script is updated and should now fix the padding issue when the "Post" button is removed.

The class and id fields are a space separated list of class names and ids respectively.

I feel a little weird asking this here, but I use Opera and the Opera last read recently got borked by some forum changes I think. I looked for the old opera last read thread, but I couldn't find a recent one.

I can't search, but I looked back maybe 15 pages and didn't see it. I don't know what the situation with it is though.

I figured someone in this thread would have noticed Opera SALR not working for forum views anymore. Oddly, it still displays threads properly. I wish I had some idea how to fix it, but I am not a coder - hopefully Moho reads this thread and can do something about it.

Thanks. For a moment I was about to complain about the changed colours, but I relilzed it was just the LogMeIn remote desktop using less colour depth.

The forums based one has pretty decent functionality, but it's still pretty far behind the javascript SALR.

Opera Last Read seems to be broken again: everything was working as normal when I first got on today, then I left for a while to go rake leaves, without closing the forums or my browser. When I came back, all of my marked threads were grayed-out and the option to jump to the last read post had disappeared, even though it said there were new posts in the threads. Restarting Opera, my computer and the salrd2_background.exe did nothing to fix it.

Yeah the feature which was removed the other day apparently came back today. New version once again here: http://junk.ionmine.com/salr2/salr2_main.js

If for some reason the change is once again reversed it should work in both cases now.

I just got a new laptop and am trying to update my Opera on it but can't seem to get this SALR or the SA menu to work on it. How do I get Opera to run this as an add-on as opposed to just opening it as a text page full of scripting language. I just DLed the newest version of opera maybe three days ago BTW.

You need to install the full package of stuff along with the daemon that runs in the background. Try downloading salr2r8.zip, I think the full archive includes instructions.

If you do implement this please allow us to turn it off via a check box somewhere. I find it useful to quote myself sometimes either when something I said was overlooked or posting in BYOB.
