Time For Lordelph

[+Nellies Knackers]

Doh! Ignore post no longer works,guess we'll have to hope the great LordElph can come up with a new solution.

Good to have a search feature again though.

[+lordelph]

I'm on the case!

[+Nellies Knackers]

He's good ain't he!

[+Gralorn]

He certainly is, and especially

if he makes it simple to add for us non-techies as Hokester is able. Thanks in anticipation.

[+lordelph]

OK - If you're running the latest Firefox and Greasemonkey versions then this update of the geocaching forum script is for you - it now copes with the new layout to provide the "delete topic" button you've come to depend on

 

To install, simply right click here and choose "Install User Script..."

 

I cranked this out fairly quickly, so if you notice anything awry, drop me a note....

[+adambro]

Show Ignored Topics is showing over the Forum Options button.

[+Nellies Knackers]

I don't seem to have the ignore buttons showing.

[+lordelph]

Show Ignored Topics is showing over the Forum Options button.

 

Sounds like the old version - click Tools->Manage User Scripts, highlight "Geocaching Forum Tools" and click "Edit..." - the top of the file should have the message

 

Geocaching Forum Tools - 0.30 04/02/2006

 

If it's an earlier version you need to re-install.

[+Learned Gerbil]

I removed the old version, closed Firefox, restarted Firefox, installed the new version and I don't see any ignore buttons and the show ignored topics is written over the forums options button. I don't have the old script becasue I removed it.

[+lordelph]

Oops, my fault, the new version did not upload. Try again.

 

My apologies

[+adambro]

Nice one, its working fine now.

 

Adam

[+Nellies Knackers]

Thats better! I had to right click and open in a new tab and click refresh before the script changed to 2006 one,were probably getting the scropt from cache rather than your server.

Like I said before,He's good ain't he!

[+Cave Troll and Eeyore]

Thank you lordelph.

I was missing that option already and was amazed how quick you got it sorted.

Going back to ignoring threads now

[+walkergeoff and wife]

Thanks Lordelph. You are really on the ball.

[+Teuchters]

Excellent service - thank you very muchly!

[+The Golem]

At the risk of being numb - where do I get Greasemonkey from again....

[+lordelph]

• Go to google
  
• type greasemonkey in the search box
  
• click "I'm feeling lucky"
  

Yeah I could said it was here but teach a man to fish and all that....

[+The Golem]

I love you Lordelph and I want to have your babies....

[+walkergeoff and wife]

Trouble is, now I have got the 'Ignore thread' button back, thanks to this thread, guess what I am going to do?

[+John Stead]

Very many thanks for putting that right so fast - I was beginning to miss it just as your correction came up.

Made me look too at the other options, I think I am beginning to like it even with the shuffled smilies but I had not noticed the ON or OFF in the bottom left corner before, was it there?

[+rutson]

Phew, pleased to see that my 'highlight topic' bit of the script works with LordElph's update. Nice one Paul.

[+Sue and Bernie]

Love that button!

 

Good Man Lordelph...

[+Just Roger]

Brilliant service. This was the first thread I read on the new forum.

 

On a related subject, I have lost the arrow on the 25000 OS map whoch comes up from the Grid ref link on the cache pages. Is there a fix for that?

[+Kitty Hawk]

Excellent, thanks LordElph

[Lactodorum]

Aarrgghhhh! I've just reinstalled the script and while I get the "Show/Hide" topic message at the top of the screen I don't see the "Hide" button. I logged on as "The Hornet" and everything was fine so I guess there's some subtle change in the forum Moderator's screen that's screwing it up.

 

Curses, now I'll have to read everything!!!!!

[+lordelph]

If you do "File -> Save Page As..." and choose "Web page, HTML Only" for the file type and email it to lordelph at gmail dot com I'm sure it will be a simple tweak...

[+Gralorn]

Thanks very much LE, once again you have come up trumps. Much appreciated.

[Lactodorum]

Thanks to Lordelf for fixing it for me. Service with a smile

[+dino-irl]

I upgraded Greasemonkey earlier in the week and have noticed that the ignore thread script doesn't seem to be working as it should. New additions disappear but on the next visit they pop back up again. Older threads that have been ignored prior to the update are still hidden.

 

Anyone else notice the same behaviour?

Glad it wasn't just me

 

Yep, been having the same problem.

[+T.R.a.M.P.]

A quick bump to this old thread...

 

My 'ignore button' seems to have stopped working...

Any suggestions please anyone?

[+T.R.a.M.P.]

Doh, I really should read all the day's posts before posting myself

- I just bumped the original ignore script thread with the same observation.

[+keehotee]

Stop ignoring people??????

...who said that?

LOL

[+Moote]

I love you Lordelph and I want to have your babies....

I always knew!

[+Team Sieni]

The board seems to be clogged up these days with threads about this "ignore script" thing. It really is the limit!

 

Does anyone have any suggestions how I could avoid having to see these threads?

[Lactodorum]

I've merged a couple of related threads so no one needs to get in a stew at having to read both.

[+lordelph]

Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated!

 

I'll check this out and get it fixed as soon as I can, probably in the next 24 hrs...

[+Gralorn]

If anyone can fix it .......you can, I await in anticipation.

[+Just Roger]

Having tried to highlight this thread I have discovered that the highlighting facility is acting in the same way as the ignore. Hope this can be fixed at the same time. Thanks for your efforts

[+lordelph]

To reproduce the problem I re-installed the script (click here to do the same) but all seemed well!

 

If anyone is having problems, let me know which version of the browser you are using (Help -> About), and which version of GreaseMonkey (go to Tools->Add Ons to find out)

I'm on the same versions, but on Ubuntu (Linux) not Windows, and it was working for me. HOWEVER while poking about it unexplainably stopped working, to get it working again I had to disable the script and re-enable it again and it's all working as expected.

Not working for me, Win2K at work, Win XP at home - same versions with GC forum fix (v1.3)

I tried disabling then re-enabling but no difference.

Same here. It will 'disappear' the post when you first click on the ignore icon, but refreshing the page brings it back again.

[+thedeadpirate]

The problem is with the way the new GM update now handles the GM_setValue funtion.

 

I fixed it with the following:

 

/* Original function
win.saveList=function()
{
GM_setValue('GCForumList', win.rows);
}
*/

// Updated for security changes by Me
win.saveList=function()
{
window.setTimeout(GM_setValue, 0, 'GCForumList', win.rows);
};

[+dino-irl]

Yes!!!!

 

That fix sorted things for me.....thanks GeoBain

Can you advise on how to put this into the existing script? I can open the script in Notepad, but it is not easy to identify where the modification needs to go.

 

Or could you put a link to the full, modified script?

 

Thanks.
