New Post Image Size
I noticed recently, that, when the forums search results included threads with recently unread posts, including the "New Posts" results, the image the forums software gave me to click on, for viewing the first unread post, was very small. I commonly had to apply more precision with my mouse pointer than I thought otherwise necessary.
That slows me down considerably, and I've changed it for myself by authoring a userscript for use in the Greasemonkey Firefox extension. Anyone may use it if he likes. I've called it, simply, New Post Image Size. The userscript simply doubles the width and height of that image. It looks odd to me, but I'm most content to place function before form here. I want to be able to click that image with my mouse quickly, without slowing down. newpostimagesize.user.js If you have any questions about how to install or use this, please do use Google to educate yourself minimally about Greasemonkey before asking questions.

Re: New Post Image Size
Could you clarify: Does the script double the dimensions of whatever image is being used there, or does it simply replace that image with a new one (that you chose to be the same as the old, but with doubled dimensions)?
In other words, if Apophis updates that icon so that it fits in with the forums, will this script double the dimensions of that icon, or will it replace that icon with a big orange box? And if it simply replaces it, may I suggest the dogtags from the website favicon as an alternative? I believe that it's the same size image as the large orange box that the script gives us. Regardless of any of that, this script gets two thumbs up from me! It's much faster this way.

Re: New Post Image Size
What icon are you guys talking about, anyway? Care to throw me a screenshot of the icon and it's placement?

If Apophis takes 'firstnew.gif' and changes it to something other than the itty bitty orange icon, this would double the size of whatever that icon is as well.

http://www.tacticalgamer.com/general...tml#post578685 Beyond the interruption its color poses to the site's form, its size poses a problem to the site's function. I was hoping you'd change it after Cing's post. I thought about the dogtags, Cing, exactly, but, again, I just said "screw it" and went for function over form. I just wanted something that worked, and this preserves whatever colors are handed down from the staff.

Re: New Post Image Size
Wait. I'm confused. What breaks the permalinks, again?

This:
![]() on this page: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/profile.php?do=editoptions If you notice the difference in the URL that you posted and the URL that I posted, I believe that references the number of pages in the thread, so while my post was on page ten for you, it was only on page four for me.

Re: New Post Image Size
Yes, it has nothing to do with any of your scripts, AFAIK. I just mentioned it as an aside because your link to my post didn't work for me...
