I had some weird font issues so I switched to a new firefox profile and consequently reconfigured salr (yes i know about copying the settings string etc but i just don't remember.)

anyways, enabling the " Highlight thread counts in yellow if you've posted there before" seems to cause the "Open updated threads" link to disappear for me.

in the console i get "TypeError: window.openDatabase is not a function" from post-history.js

Nice. Removed in Chrome 119. But how did this ever work in Firefox? It claims Gecko never supported Web SQL.

Anyway, it looks like that whole feature needs to be re-written now.

Legacy SALR had a similar feature, but it never worked in Firefox using salr-redux. I was going to work on moving it away from websql to fix that, but I ended up shelving it when I started working for SA.

Put salr-redux v2.5.0 that fixes the feature to use localStorage instead of WebSQL. Given that WebSQL was fully removed from Chrome like a month ago, there's no way to transition the old data to new setup, so have to use this opportunity to post in all your favorite threads again to get them marked.

Around when you posted the above, some of the threads I've posted in got the yellow mark. But I've posted in a bunch more since where it simply doesn't show up.

Also the yellow is different from what I had previously and I can't find where to customize it. I don't even rightly remember if there ever was a place.

I don't think it's much of a problem, just letting you know.

When I'm using the "restrict size of images" settings, is there any way to expand a particular image without fully opening it in a new tab?

I know its not SALR but Ifigure I'd ask here, there used to be a an SA extention that added a live thread button at the end of a thread, where it would just load new posts so you just scroll thru like gameday threads/etc without having to hit new page new page new page over and over...

it just disapeared and I've looked everyway of restoring the extension but no luck. I think i posted about it in thiss thread years ago, hopefully the filter by my own posts shows it up

thanks

The buttons aren't impossible to use like that but it's pretty annoying, especially since I use the popup Windows taskbar.

First thing to check would be if your browser is displaying the page at something other than 100% zoom. It's also likely that the dark mode stylesheet is affecting it.

My chrome is now reporting that the SALR plugin might not work in future versions of Chrome, probably because of the Manifest V2 vs V3 stuff. Are there any plans to update the plugin to be compatible with newer versions of Chrome? Is that even possible, with some of the functions that SALR does?

I know I could "just switch to firefox" or flip some settings to extend V2 support for another year...but I don't feel like doing either of those things.

Yeah, I'll take a look. With how the extension works, it shouldn't be affected by the manifest V3 changes as it doesn't try to block/change network requests.

Yeah, it only blocks showing:

I guess they've added more ways to call someone a stupid newbie since when this feature was added.

How does one even get a stupid newbie avatar anyway?

It's just a different image. From salr.js line 176:

code:

if (this.settings.hideGarbageDick == 'true') {
    jQuery("img[src*='fi.somethingawful.com/images/newbie.gif']").css({'display':'none'});
    jQuery("img[src*='forumimages.somethingawful.com/images/newbie.gif']").css({'display':'none'});
    anchorPage = true;
}

You could probably just change it to something like:

code:

if (this.settings.hideGarbageDick == 'true') {
    jQuery("img[src^='fi.somethingawful.com/images/newbie']").css({'display':'none'});
    jQuery("img[src^='forumimages.somethingawful.com/images/newbie']").css({'display':'none'});
    anchorPage = true;
}

You get a stupid newbie avatar by buying an account and not picking an avatar image.

Restarted Chrome and it disabled the extension saying it wasn't compatible anymore. Figured I'd report it in case there's a way to fix it. Looks like you can re-enable it manually, though?

How do you re-enable it? It was removed from Chrome for me and I can't find an option to force install it.

e: does it still work in Firefox?

I've got some time off for next few weeks, will finally sit down and look to migrate the extension to manifest v3. I think I've got it mostly working at the moment, so hopefully doesn't take too much more work.

I've submitted salr-redux 3.0.0 to the chrome web store, which should be published soon (hopefully). I've had to rewrite how settings are saved, and the migration from old to new should happen transparently for users, but there's a chance I messed something up and you'll have to redo your settings, sorry!

Updated just fine, and no need to reset options. SALR Dark Mode still doesn't work, though. I can check Toggle Darkmode on Thread Highlighting, close the tab, reload, and no dark mode. Opening SALR config shows the box as unticked.

I guess it's not a big deal now that Dark Mode is a built in option of the forums, but I wanted to compare it to SALR dark mode to see which I liked better. Probably one of my other extentions not playing well with that aspect of SALR. Ah well. Not a big deal.

Thanks again for SALR!

Master_Odin: Apr 15, 2010; My spear never misses its mark...

Yeah, that could be better worded but the point of the toggle is to see how the options look when in SA dark mode, not that SALR has its own dark mode implementation.

The size of the the thingimabob scales with how much you're zoomed in on the webpage. It probably just shouldn't do that if possible?

I'm at 100% which is normal level of zoom, the preview window just hops up and goes behind the bookmark/address bar so it's practically useless. It's just not adjusted for the default viewport of a laptop.

It also scales with the dpi scaling you have set in Windows! I know this isn't helpful per se, but maybe it explains why tens of people haven't complained about this earlier. If you're at 100% dpi and 100% website zoom, it'll probably come out about right. But I know it's ridiculous to suggest adjusting these settings just for this.
