Download the latest version. Please be sure you are using the latest version before posting about any issues your having as it may already be fixed. Also make sure you have the highlighting options turn on in the Forums Control Panel (see the bottom of this post for the particulars). If you do not, we will laugh at you and call you names. You stupid doodie head. If your menu has gone all empty, click here to restore it. (oh, and here is a version for some browser called Opera or something) If you want just the menu without all the cool features, that is over here The brief history of SALR Back in the old days, the forums didn't track what threads you read so biznatchio write a Firefox extension to do it for you. In time, biznatchio no longer had enough free time to keep the extension up to date with the forum changes so others took over. After some time, the extension was updated to use the Firefox 2.0 SQL engine for even better stability and thread tracking. Recently the forums have added read thread tracking rending much of what this extension does obsolete. Is that the end of SALR? Nope! SALR has also had other features in addition to read thread tracking and it will continue to do those. In a totally non-leading question, what are those additional features? Glad you asked! It does many other things like converting linked images to inline images, ignoring threads (sometimes not working), converting YouTube links into embedded players (also partially broken), mouse gestures, drop down forum menu, keyboard navigation and other stuff I've forgotten. Here are some screen shots to show off what else it does:  Resizes obnoxious custom titles!  Adds scrollbars to wide titles/avatars, allows per user coloring of usernames and post backgrounds, add per user notes, adds a link to that specific post.  Sticks a quick jump paginator to the bottom corner of forums and long threads.  Allows adding gradients to the thread list as well as changing the `New Posts` & `Unread` icons and the background colors.  Instill fear and panic when the forums update and SALR stops working.  And my favorite feature, the quick quote window that, when clicking on the quick buttons (pictured below), allow you to quote several people, post a new thread, or edit your own post in a floating window to allow you to remain browsing the thread you're on.  More screenshots Keyboard Navigation!
I have a cool idea for SALR! or I found a bug, you people are jerks! Our project is hosted on the goon run Bounty Source. If your bug/idea is not already on the list feel free to post in this thread to talk about it or even add it to the list. I know the Javascripts! Can I submit a patch? Sure thing, just register with Bounty Source and send me, duz, a PM so I can give you commit access. Just make sure your code's format is consistent with the rewritten sections of code. I don't have plat, how else can I contact you? I and some of the other developers can usually be found in #salr on irc.synirc.net Make sure your forum side preferences are set to the below!

ryanbruce posted:I'd like to add the favorite question from the old thread to your list. It should work fine now, I pushed out an update an hour or so ago. Let me know if it is still broken. nbv4 posted:so does SALR no longer tracks threads and replies? Nope. It should track which threads you've posted in but that might be broken, I havn't had a chance to double check. Forums track the last read count.

poopiehead posted:Can't tell you how it happened but the poster id is stored in the sqllite file. So either digging in and deleting the row(with something like this or deleting the whole file will probably fix it. If you delete the file you will lose any info SALR has stored about threads. Thread highlighting shouldn't really be affected though. Since the forums now track the OP, I need to update that code to remove it from the database.

Lache posted:The old unread button is back now, but clicking it does nothing but make both the 'Go to newest post' and 'Mark unread' button disappear. Refreshing the page shows the thread as if you hadn't even touched it before, i.e. both buttons are still present. Has this been addressed already? Your profile must be messed up or you're not running the latest versions, the code for the unread button has been removed. Krinkle posted:If my mouse gestures absolutely do not work at all, and I mean the blue thing doesn't even pop up, what did I do wrong? I formatted my laptop today and installed firefox, adblock plus, and SALR in that order and it still doesn't work. It didn't work from before but I assumed that was the competing versions or something. Why doesn't the one from the first post in this thread work? The mouse gestures default to off. You have to go into the options and enable them. If they still don't work, let us know. Also, new nightly up. Fixed the null thingy and you can now change/remove the OP/Admin/Mod text.

Chamberpothead posted:The threads that get wiped completely from the database and don't get their ignore flags set to true when I ignore them a second (third, fourth...) time are all threads that I've visited, and the only way to keep them ignored (for a while) is to set the ignored flag by hand. I blame tivac since he got excited and cleared out a ton of SQLite code when the forums took over the last read functionality. I'll have to keep an eye out for the ignore thread stuff while I work on speeding up the code.

Yeah, I was working on that and thought I had fixed it. Guess I'll have to dig deeper. Aratoeldar posted:I do not have access to the archived threads.
