Is it possible to hide the "quote" button for your own posts?

I know it's my own drat fault, but I've twice now accidentally quoted myself instead of editing my post. I wouldn't think it would be any harder than hiding the "edit" button for other users.

Is it possible to get an option to strip the "Post" button from viewing threads, much like the options to block "Report" on yourself, and "Edit" on others?

And how about removing the 'Quote' button from our own posts too?

I couldn't tell how many times I've stupidly hit 'quote' instead of 'edit' and ended up with a double post.



But otherwise, I have infinite love for SALR.

I use a Greasemonky script called SA Thumbnail Fix that works great with SALR and doesn't lead to image distortion.

As the [timg] command loads the full-sized image anyway, the script lets you change how big it gets displayed.

I set it to display thumbnails up to 1200 in either dimension because I was so bloody sick of clicking on endless thumbnails in image threads to see what they were.

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

Is it possible to add a way to resize the default thumbnail size? I love the image scaling feature for standard [img] tagged images. The default [timg] is too damned small and I hate expanding them one after the other in posts with lots of images.

Schizophrenic Orb posted:

This is a forums bug, but it can be easily fixed with SALR probably.

When someone posts an image from imgur, if the image url ends with certain letters (I believe s, l, and m at least, there might be others), the forums remove the last letter, breaking the image url. It creates a timg (which points to the correct url) and the timg is also a link to the image (with a now incorrect url). When SALR automatically expands timg'd images, it points to the broken url instead of the correct timg url.

Oh so THAT'S what's been causing it! I've been banging my head for ages thinking it was some issue with No Script, Ad Block or one of my extensions or Greasemonkey/Stylish scripts :doh:

I knew if you quoted the post you could see the image again, but never made the connection that it was the forums themselves messing up the unaltered link.

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 the update! Hiding avatars is great for all annoying those people with bloody seizure gifs. I have the toggle gifs extension but it doesn't remember setting between uses.



In the custom user highlighting and notes section, is it possible to alphabetise or otherwise sort the entries? I tend to add quite a few users to it when they post something interesting (or stupid) so I can remember them if I see one of their posts later. Going back to add to their entry can be quite a challenge when all the users are in no particular order.

Speaking of search - next to each post is the little "?" to show every post that person has made in a thread. Sometimes I want to find a post I've made in a thread but the only way to do so is to either post again or hunt down one of my old posts and click the "?" there. Which can be hard in a massive thread. Or a closed one.

Would it be possible to add the "show posts by this user" question mark next to the SALR search box and the "Who posted" at the top of each page?


Or I've missed an incredibly obvious and easy way to find old posts in a thread and have been doing it the hard way all this time.

I've been doing some work on cleaning up / reunifying SALR's menu code, and while I'm in there it's a good time to start getting some input: What should we do about SALR-starring threads?

I star a lot of threads. I find it useful to have threads in different colours because I usually browse the forums from the control panel and it lets me spot the threads from different forums which I've colour-coded.

I'm actually of the opinion you should put in more colours, but I'm probably the only person who'd argue that.
