Although there have been several updated since I've noticed the issue, if you edit your own post it un-bookmarkes a thread that you have previously bookmarked.

Tested across several threads.

Is there a possible way to open all unread in separate (background) tabs on a page? I go through my bookmarks in the control panel and end up clicking the last-read link on a lot of threads to open in separate tabs. It'd be nice to know if there's an option to do this quicker either through SALR or another addon/script.

Yeah, there's a couple of GreaseMonkey scripts that will do it for you. This one (that I wrote) does that and a whole lot more, but there's another one that just does only what you're after.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I updated to the latest SALR and now I don't even have to edit my posts to be unsubscribed to a thread automatically. I consider this a pretty serious issue since 95% of my forums browsing is through bookmarks so please look into a fix for us. :ohdear:

e: a workable solution now is to just force SALR to default check subscribed in every reply/edit but it also means unbookmarking threads I just make one or two replies in and don't care to follow. I'm not really sure what changed because this broke one day a few weeks back out of the blue without an update to SALR or Firefox or anything else.

Was an issue caused by a forum-side change. Just pushed an update; let me know if you still have an issue with unsubscribing from threads after today's build.

Will get to the other fixes soon. :)

Didn't there used to be an option in SALR to let you see the whole title of embedded Youtube videos if you moused over them? So many videos have titles too long for the embedded video box

Like this:




I can also never seem to get the embedded videos to show as "gigantic" despite selecting them in the configuration menu. Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

Works for me. Make sure the SALR option to embed the videos is enabled, and also make sure your forum-side option for video embeds is disabled.

No idea about the titles offhand.

For the search thread box, can it be changed so it doesn't search the thread title? If you search for a word in the title it returns every post in the thread.

e: also while you're up there, any chance of a "see your posts in this thread" link next to it?

The SALR video option actually works? I've never been able to get SALR to work with embedding videos, all it does is highlight the youtube link. The forums option works fine. I just assumed that the video part was something that worked in the past and never got taken out.

Yes, it works. What happens when you click a highlighted youtube link?

I think the real issue is when you have a youtube link cued to a specific time. Clicking on it seems to produce an embedded blank video. As an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeUsVFL7aCc#t=120s

Starts the video at 2mins for me just fine. What version of SALR are you using? And what are your SALR settings for the video embeds?

I'm no expert on what youtube urls could look like, but I just had the exact same problem with one that had the word 'share' tagged on to the end.

I don't know if the presence of that word was user error or whatever, but it resolved correctly to a video when opened in a new tab.

I've looked for it, honestly, before I posted, but I couldn't find it.

However, I tried appending random text to youtube urls and it seems youtube just parses the first 11 (?) characters of the video id and drops the rest.

So, I'm going to try to recreate the issue here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVGl_2Wtg1Eshare

EDIT Yep, that has the problem as described.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure it's SALR's problem if the user presents it accidentally or intentionally with what's technically a malformed youtube url. I'm guessing this doesn't happen all that often.

Color highlighting for threads with new replies is no longer working for me in forums (but does work in the User CP), all visited thread show the color for visited but no new posts. It works on my work machine so it's not a problem with my account settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SALR, renamed the salastread.sqlite file, toggled the "Don't perform color highlighting in thread lists" option (disables highlighting in the User CP when enabled), but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions on config files or settings I may have missed?

Edit: Fixed by disabling Advanced Thread Filtering, that was easy. Thanks!

Are embedded YouTube links no longer working properly an SALR issue or do I need to look somewhere else?

Links are converted properly into embedded players/previews, but every time, without exception, I click the play button, I get an error message (in the player window), "An error has occured, please try again later". I then need to click on "open in youtube" to actually watch the clip, taking me away from the SA forums page, since there is no option to open in a new tab.

Please make sure you aren't accidentally using the forums' embedder - set the following option to NO to be able to use ours:

If that was already set to no, please provide a link to a non-working video embed, and a screenshot of your Threads pane in the SALR settings would be helpful, too. Thanks!

I was having that issue on occasion as well, but if I switch off the forums embedder all my videos stop being embedded and turn back into links. The videos all now play fine and in the proper size I selected in SALR, but all look like this:




Is there any other setting I need to select to get them to embed?

On the other hand video-packed threads aren't a million miles to scroll. Why do you even turn off embedding in the first place if you want them embedded?

The Chrome version of SALR adds an "Open all subscribed threads in new tabs" link on my User Control Panel, is there any equivalent to that in the Firefox SALR?

I only tried turning it off because I was getting playback errors similar to the user two posts above mine.

I'm not fussed by having to scroll down long pages, I can click my scrollwheel and I've set that to "page down".

Does anybody have a link to a handy guide to merging the "notes" between the old Chrome SALR and Redux (and also possibly Firefox SALR?)

It's probably something I could figure out but if the problems already solved...
