salastread v1.99.140109 problem

with Firefox 3.6.28 I get the following error pop up when firefox is loading:
code:
JavaScript Application

SALastRead int error: TypeError

Components.classes['@evercrest.com/salastread/persist-object;1'] is undefined
The SALR menu button doesn't show up in the Menu bar. Version 1.99.140105 worked fine.

Could you tell me if this test build fixes that for you?

Hey Mental Genius; did you bother to read the thread? I posted earlier that I use 3.6.28 because forcastbar hasn't worked since 4.0. I looked at the install.rdf and the minimum version is 3.5. :rolleyes:

v1.99.140110 :siren:

Notes:

Fixed SALR breaking on really old Firefox versions.
Fixed other minor bugs.

_{Notes from v1.99.140109:

Added notification when SALR has updated with a link to the about/changelog pane.

Improved the way SALR applies most of its CSS, which enabled new features like:

Reduced visual 'pop'/scrolling when loading forum pages.

Added 'hide all custom titles' option (Users preference pane).
Fixed some other miscellaneous SALR CSS bugs.

Fixed SALR replacing images with invalid image links.

Stopped SALR logo from being scaled weirdly in the about pane.}

Most of the time I am using Firefox 26. However during inclement weather I do switch back and forth between 26 and 3.6.28 because forcastbar isn't a dumbed down piece of crap.

Is there a way to make SALR work with FF sync or something similar, maybe dropbox, so I have my colors and notes synced?

Also can you make it so the user notes / colors apply on the reply page as well?

So 10ish minutes ago my Quick Reply decided to stop working and says "THERE IS NOTHING TO loving UNDO" with a greyed out Submit button. I remember seeing the SALR update notification pop up so I updated and sadly this fixed nothing. Can obviously still post the old way but yea, Quick Reply/Quote seems broken. FF 19ish here(I'm lazy).

It's not out of the question, but it'd be a low-priority thing.

In what circumstances is it breaking? Like, is this happening immediately after clicking a quick reply (or quote?) link? Is it only happening in one specific thread or forum?

Finally, if you open the browser console (Control + Shift + J) and clear that out, then follow the steps that would break the quick reply window, do any errors show up that reference SALR or 'quickquote'?

It breaks immediately and on any post/thread. It just happened completely out of the blue today with me not having updated anything whatsoever on any level. I have since updated to the latest SALR in an attempt to fix the issue but that didn't work either.

v1.99.140113 :siren:

Notes:

Made the 'who posted' link in threads follow forum conventions (new full-sized tab/window instead of JavaScript popup).
Changed the default appearance of the SALR toolbar button.
Fixed SALR being happy to think some people's usernames were "Not Cookied?" which broke quote highlighting.
Fixed quick quote breaking on some older versions of Firefox with the last SALR update.

Super minor bug, the SALR button is bugged on OS X. I think it happened with the 140113 update. I got a notification for that update this morning and noticed it was not right.

I just noticed that when people quote a post with an image in it without using [timg], the image isn't affected by SALR settings.

User posts a stupidly tall image that is properly resized by SALR according to the settings I selected. It then gets quoted again and again as an [img] and is displayed at its full height.

I know it's a stupid GBS thread, and a trivial issue. But I've seen a couple of things happen with quoted posts* with SALR seeming to not work inside quotes. Mainly with respect to how images are treated.

*which have currently slipped my mind, sorry but it's currently our 4th day of 45�C and my brain isn't working so good.

Thanks for finding this; looking into it exposed a pretty bad XPath syntax error where for each post SALR was iterating through all of the images in the entire document instead of just the images in the post.

Next build will allow quoted images to be shrunk and won't try to shrink any timgs since unpredictable behavior would result.

SALR-starring threads just adds them to the "Starred threads" submenu of the SA menu that you have to go out of your way to add. It might be interesting to add something like this to make the SALR stars more useful, likely with a better name than 'star' to avoid confusion with forum bookmarks.

It turns out Assembla didn't end up removing Trac when they said they would (it's still there over a week after the scheduled removal), so no idea what's going on with them. At this point I'm leaning towards moving the project to github; I've already set up a git repository for SALR over there and everything looks good so far. Assuming nothing comes up, the official switch would happen later this weekend. No user action will be required.

Speaking of colors I tried to change them but they don't apply, it changes the colors of threads in my bookmarks and on the forum but not the posts in the threads. I picked random colors to test.
Using these colors:

Bookmarked threads look like this:

But seen and unseen posts are default:

Unvisited thread colors also work.
I remember a while ago I could change the color of posts in threads, currently only the OP highlighting colors work for me.

A few unimportant things, the color selection settings need a bit more vertical space, a scrollbar, or shrinking. The button to change the my post is quoted color is 2 pixels tall. Also it doesn't apply user colors to posts when you are replying to threads but it does apply default colors.

Great work on the extension, viewing bookmarked threads as being different colors according to which has new posts is something the forums should have by default.
