Search Results Legend - Page 2

I'm having the exact same problem as Digital Assassin. I think the problem may be all the smilies in the source code

Seriously, this sounds like a cool project

Works for me, is mabey a new or old version of firefox to blame?

Couldn't all of these changes be made server-side?

I agree sounds very cool...

Yet I am having the same problem as Digital and Wimp...

Firefox Version 1.5.0.1

Greasemonkey Version 0.6.4

Either of the changes could be server-side. The icons, or something similar, could happen server-side. The New Posts restriction could happen server-side. Both could also be done client-side.

Apophis is a bottleneck if you go the server-side approach. His many other tasks, combined with the complexity created for any forum maintainer when introducing any modification to the site (assuming he even sees enough merit in the mod to install it), adds some (conditional) incentive for managing a client-side solution whenever it's possible. That would be one argument for managing the New Posts restrictions client-side, I suppose. You don't have to wait on Apophis, and his forum maintenance complexity increases none.

Cing pointed out that he'd like his own icons. When I recommended the server-side mod for the New Posts restrictions, it didn't occur to me that each user might like different forums displayed. That's another argument for managing that tweak client-side, as well, I suppose, unless a server-side mod could be introduced which gives this freedom to each user (unlikely with icons).

The control that client-side modifications give you is nice, but things look so much cleaner if they're done server-side, typically. Yeah, this icons thing doesn't impact performance much, but you're going to see some (arguably not that problemmatic) screen flicker if I design a solution which restricts New Posts to certain forums, as the browser must receive and render the unwanted thread rows before my userscript can then "immediately" remove them.

Per WhiskeySix's request, I have updated (see first post) the script to support the forum named:

12th Division Team Forum

(I haven't forgotten about the fact that the script is still failing for some. No ETA on resolution.)

**Wyzcrak** · 03-10-2006, 02:19 AM

I believe I have fixed the problem many were having. This was definately not due to any mistake on the user's fault. This was my mistake, and I think it's fixed now.

Someone for whom the script was failing: please update your version (see first post) and provide feedback.

I've added a yellow tint to the "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts." bar.

Works great for me now Wyzcrak!

**Wimpinator** · 03-10-2006, 09:47 AM

Works here too! Excellent project and good work!

**Wyzcrak** · 04-01-2006, 02:37 PM

I've added a feature to this, both because it's a good idea and because I'm going to need the new functionality from this userscript, which I'm in the process of complementing with the design of a new userscript.

The text of the "Forum" column is now the tooltip of the leftmost icon column. The forum column remains visible.

To use this new feature, simply re-download the userscript in this thread's first post.

I don't understand what this means, and I'm really pleased with the way the legend is set up right now. What is the "tooltip"?

**Wyzcrak** · 04-01-2006, 06:54 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooltip

It just means that you see the name of the forum when you hover over the icon in the far left column.

Oh, cool. I'd never heard it called that before...

Wyz, were you going to share the process needed to customize the icons?

And if people find needed icons for this, or better icons, do you just want them to post them here?

Like this WoW icon:
