A script to show the full BB post on BBS

meta
41

sup, Gwwar. the iframe script broke like a really long time ago and I was putting off asking and then I just got in the habit of clicking the show full post button and let it go, but I happened to think of it today. I just reviewed the script posted in the OP against the one I’ve got in my greasemonkey; it looks the same.

anyways… couldja take a look at it? I think it broke when they updated the look of the number count in the blue circles again, but it was so long ago, I forget specifically.

as always, if you need anything on my end, holler. (not sure what that would be, but fully willing)

EDIT: whoops, it says Codinghorror is the OP? looks like I’ll have to @gwwar

like it used to.

I’ve updated it to not check for the new icon. Try it again.

For whatever reason, I can’t get the inline script to work on my FireFox (v38). Preview on bbs-list works, yah. Go figure.

@Falcor Would it be possible for you add these two links to the top post? It looks like it’s locked.

Are you unable to edit your first post? I am not seeing anything locked.

@gwwar I think I think there’s a time-limit for editing. Or it might have something to do with @codinghorror having split your post off from another discussion which is why he’s listed as the creator of the thread.

50

Hmm I made the first post a wiki post so any trust level 1 users or better can edit it. See if that helps @gwwar.

There is a built in time limit on how long you can edit your posts by default. I think it is 90 days now.

Thanks that did the trick.

Danke!

As a former FF-extension writer, I was somewhat embarrassed I couldn’t get this to work. Not embarrassed enough to spend any more time on it…

@gwwar it stopped working like half an hour ago? I got up to grind coffee and feed the dog, came back: nothing.

  • reloaded the page
  • cut off Greasemonkey (where I keep it)
  • checked Add-ons to make sure it was enabled
  • reloaded
  • cut G’mky back on
  • reloaded
  • navigated around between Latest, New, other pages, etc
  • went to JSFiddle and copied the script, pasted into address bar to run it bookmarklet style

its not showing up in the list like usual, either, but firefox says it is enabled in the full addon listing

this is some dumb thing I did, right? will try restarting my browser, but did that last night, usually doesn’t start acting up for a few days, and never like this, but may as well say I did it…

Updated on jsfiddle, had to work around some https issues.

oh, thank you so much!

here is a gif for you

I’m not getting anything : (

Looks ok to me on FF and chrome. Can you open up your console and screenshot the error?

58

works as bookmarklet

confusion

I was pasting the script into the address bar+enter before, rather than make an actual bookmark, so that was the problem with that I guess.

It always worked as a greasemonkey script before, but that seems to be my problem this time. so; me, not you.

I copied it into the script editor the same as always, I thought.

then “save” and “OK” on the other “preferences” window.

anyway, I thought it was neat for it to run automagically but the bookmarklet is fine. maybe some other script auto-updated and broke the compatibility? I can disable everything and try turning on just you script later in the day.

59

Try removing the javascript: at the start, the uri scheme is only needed for the bookmarklet.

oh, OK.

sorry (∘=̴⃙̀˘︷˘=̴⃙́∘)

I have to get to work. I’ll edit and reload later and post again tonight.

thanks again!
