You have to browse the the forums and then close/re-open Firefox when that happens. It's SALR wanting to refresh the menus (which can't happen unless you close/re-open Firefox)

Is there a way I can make SALR realize I changed my username, and highlight posts of mine that are quoted? Currently, it will do that only if it's my previous username being quoted.

Currently, it will do that only if it's my previous username being quoted. It's supposed to update every time you hit the forums home or your control panel. It might not be doing that at the moment. You can manually change it in about:config, it's controlled by extensions.salastread.username

One thing I've noticed is that grabForumList() does no error-checking and has no problem writing a blank forum list over the good one were you to, having just opened your browser window, visit a showthread.php or a forumdisplay.php page that doesn't contain the drop down menu (such as this). But I don't think that's the real problem. All that does is give you the "Visit a forum to reload list" message (which by the way should be "Reopen your browser and visit a forum..", since grabForumList() won't resolve again until you're reset _gotForumList to false at init time), and not the problem we're seeing with a good list of forum categories but empty menus. Edit: Actually, if anyone that has the empty menus problem could open up their saforumlist.xml file (in your Firefox profile's root directory) and make sure that it's actually filled in with all the subforums, that would help narrow the problem down to either reading the file and building the menu or grabbing the forums and writing the file. For example, the beginning should look like this: code:

I don't think this has been mentioned, but I may have missed it. When I close a tab (or sometimes when I open a new one), it keeps the old tab's title in the title bar and URL in the address bar when looking at different tabs. Really annoying when trying to copy a link, have to reload the page to get the correct address to show. I disabled SALR, and now it's working correctly. It seems to have started with the penultimate update of either Firefox or SALR, I'm not sure which. Currently running Firefox 2.0.0.10 and SALR 1.99.071124; like I said, it didn't work with 2.0.0.9 and the previous SALR version either.

Silly question, please don't take offense to this because there's likely a reason that I don't know or etc. Innocent question! Why not just separate the functions of SALR out into greasemonkey scripts? One for quick reply, one for youtube/whatever link creation, etc. I'd guess you lose the auto update, but then I wouldn't have to close my browser with a thousand open tabs just to fix some bug, and I shouldn't really ever have to update unless one specific thing is broken and then fixed anyway, right? Given how often updates are made, or fixes happen, would this be unreasonable? I guess it'd be a bitch to have to update a dozen or whatever links in the first post any time there's an update, but, I dunno, splitting things up makes sense to me (again, though, I really have no idea what you guys go through just to get the extension working in the first place).

Also some of us currently do not use greasemonkey so that would be sort of a pain.

I know it's a beta, but are you guys looking into Firefox 3 compatibility at all? SALR is pretty broken in 3b1. The menu doesn't pull anything, most of the options do nothing at all, and it's just generally broken. FF3 is so nice on OS X compared to 2, especially in Leopard, which I just got yesterday, and I really don't want to use 2. So, anything? EDIT: Oh yeah, no error messages come up even if I uncheck the suppress error messages option. Disgustipated fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Nov 29, 2007 |

Yeah, I've been running FF 3b1 on my laptop and its real nice, but pretty much no feature of SALR retains its settings when you close the config menu. I primarily use SALR for some extra highlighting and the navigation tools, both of which were broken, no messages, nothing in the error console, so I just disabled it. Would love to get it back, but it is just a beta.

The reason nothing works in the 3 beta is that it isn't even trying. One of the first things the script does is run a "load" event listener on the window; in Firefox 2 this is fine, the event propagates all the way down to all the tabs and everything is groovy, but in Firefox 3 the event only fires for the window itself loading, not any of that window's children (tabs). Without waiting for the tabs to load, it can't check if you're actually at SA or not, and if it fails that check, it stops trying to do anything else.

Having dabbled a little in making Firefox extensions (I kept Duz's extension for Travian going for 6 months or so before I quit), it seems like this would cause quite a few issues with many javascript based extensions. Isn't it standard practice to put a page load listener at the beginning of most scripts like that?

Basically how much of a bounty should I be thinking about putting on this? I think I've found how to fix it. It looks like it should be easy. If you want to test it for me, head to #salr.

Thanks to Disgustipated's and RedKazan's testing, tonight's update includes fixes to get SALR to work on FF3. The option menus may require you to flip back and forth for the settings to get read.

SALR has suddenly completely stopped working for me. No quick reply, no page nav, no sorting of threads by most recent post in the UCP, and no SA menu at all. Not even a listing of an SALR menu. I can still see it in the Add-ons section, and can configure it from there, but it has stopped doing anything. Post highlighting is dead too, so it seems the entire thing is kaput. XP SP2, currently updated Firefox 2.0.0.10 SALR 1.99.071128 (that can't be right, it updated itself just a day or so ago?) Is this related to all the "Forums database busy" issues that were cropping up this evening, or was I the only person to see those messages? Edit: Hm, I had installed Firefox Beta 3 in addition to the regular Firefox, but that was several days ago, and hadn't caused any issues yet. Uninstalled it to see, and it didn't fix anything, but maybe the damage is already done? Here's the error console: Disabling and re-enabling it made no difference, reinstalling it over the old one did nothing. I'm loathe to uninstall and reinstall, unless I know it won't kill everything I had set up in there. Edit2: OK, uninstalled, rebooted firefox, reinstalled, rebooted firefox. Nothing.

Immediately before that line you highlighted, insert:code:
Do you have any other extensions that manipulate the menu bar? Greasemonkey scripts? Have you tried running with only SALR open? Has anything else changed in the last week or so other than the most recent SALR update? Edit: Also, you may want to try creating a new Firefox profile and running SALR in that to see if it works. When I installed 3 I ran it under a new profile because I didn't trust it not to change my profile in a way to make it not work for 2. You can create a new profile by adding -ProfileManager to the end of the Target line in a Firefox shortcut, outside of the " mark. RedKazan fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Nov 30, 2007 |

Aaand it broke again. Added the line you said to add, and I get "menubar menu menu" several times, but it's still broken. I have TinyMenu installed, and have for over a year without issue (and it hasn't updated in months), Greasemonkey scripts that don't touch the menu and haven't been added to or changed in months. The error console displays the exact same error at the exact same line (+1 because of the new line added). I'll report back here when I've tried a new profile. A new profile did the trick. So it seems Beta3 borked the old profile Is there a way to fix this? I also tried uninstalling SALR, and going in by hand and deleting SAlastreadsqlite, and then reinstalling. No go.

You may just have to migrate to a new profile. I got a weird error when I hit the quick-quote link for your post though, but when I clicked "OK" it proceeded as normal. The upside is Beta 3 is much faster. The downside is I lost my minimal UI from Tinybar and other plugins SALR means that much to me. Edit: A quick test shows that this error occurs with quick-edit, quick-reply, and quick-quote, repeatably. Edit2: Aha! Turning OFF "Live Preview" eliminates the error, so hopefully that's helpful.
