So Lowtax has made a bunch of changes to the forums and now a bunch of stuff in SALR looks funny. When he is finished I can post pics and such, but I was wondering if anyone was maintaining SALR anymore.

The bottom of every single post looks like this for me. I'm guessing it has something to do with the font of everything being slightly larger/different (although I may be imagining the font being larger/different, not sure on that one yet).

Windows 10 latest update, happens on both of my monitors at 1600 x 900 and 1920 x 1080. If I re-install the extension it looks fine, but as soon as I change anything in the SALR options it starts looking like that and turning everything to default settings doesn't restore it.

Interesting. Here's what I see at 1920x1080 (also Windows 10):

I can replicate this only if I reduce my browser window to under 700px wide.

You're not crazy about the fonts either. I'm pretty sure all of the navbar fonts have increased to 14px.

I don't know, but I can't stop noticing that your post dates bump up right against the edge of the div, while mine have a ~10px margin on the right.

edit: oh it's because mine is set to 24h format. So much for that theory.

edit2: it's happening because 700px is where the buttons under the post are forced to wrap to a new line, only mine don't wrap. The ones that would wrap just disappear and that empty bar appears instead. This happens even with SALR disabled.

That one only works for avatars that are like 5 years old at this point.

And if whoever made SOAP is reading this, it worked if you used a extension to disable the referrer

The form is still commented out, so I don't think the website is even trying to do anything anymore.

Yes. The forum database is hosed up and various threads have ghost unread posts. The only way to "fix" it is to abandon this thread in favor of a new one.

The "missing setting" was "not being an idiot." I had everything still cached, apparently.

Lmao, after reading your explanation I just disabled all the SALR additional buttons under the avatar to the same number as sans-SALR, for me this meant disabling the 'display as single post' button, and the problem disappeared

Any chance of a font-fixing option? The size ballooned again and I'd love a "Fix Forums Font" option to match the "Fix User CP Font."

(that, or a small script someone could make for Stylish/Tampermonkey to do the same)

Looking for this as well.

As a hold over option, you can zoom out the page and make everything smaller(Ctrl-Minus for Chrome). The downside is the images also scale and sometimes get cut off.

You can clear it with a different perpage setting but you have to do that every time someone posts in the thread.

If you use uBlock Origin, there's a checkbox to block remote fonts. It fixes the font for the forums(but can have un-intended side effects, like all the buttons on imgur are hosed). If you don't, you can block fonts.gstatic.com and fonts.googleapis.com and that should take care of it.

Two questions here:

1. Is this using the WebExtention API?
2. If so, is this going to be backported to Firefox seeing that the old SALR is broken now?

I came to ask the same thing. I'm looking to try out the new Firefox and see how it is, since it's supposed to be at least comparable to Chrome at the moment. The Firefox one also appears to be dead, development-wise. I'd miss this extension if I weren't able to use it anymore.

There was some talk of that, however FF57 doesn't support every WebExtension API that Chrome has, and also implements some of them differently. There is an online tool that you can submit code to, and it'll highlight any known compatibility issues, but it still up to someone to actually take those results and produce updated code and do the testing for it. The whole thing is a tough call given a possible impending switch to a new forums backend.

What a mess. So we need someone to constantly fix it while it's running, not to mention to possibly trash all of that work once the backend stuff is sorted out. Ugh.

I have a question: I've been using SALR Chrome on Vivaldi and it works wonderfully. However, I notice that the quick reply window is stuck to the window so quoting things from different pages is drat near impossible. Is there a fix for that or is that just how SALR Chrome functions?

(the whitespace under the post)

I vaguely remember seeing other posts about it but I can't find any now, so wtf. It's happening on different machines running different versions of windows, if that matters at all. It does not appear (in this thread) in any post prior to that one, and does in every post since, but not the ones in reverse order on the reply page right now.

Anyone figure out what's hosed since then?


Real E: Looking in other threads, it appears to have to do with the width of the date/time text in the post



Nov 9 doesn't wrap to a new line, but Nov 10 does, then Nov 11 doesn't. 10:07 wraps, 11:26 doesn't, 12:28 does. The fix is probably making that column ten pixels wider, or putting the buttons on the left closer together.
