I'm getting a strange bug. The 'refresh' button appears in some threads and doesn't others. Is anyone else experiencing this?
 
finally figured out why this has been really inconsistent for me. if I'm at neogaf.com it doesnt work, but if I go and add www. it does. I noticed this when I reinstalled the extension and it asked for permission to www.neogaf.com. any chance of getting an update for this and neogaf.net?

I just published an update. You'll probably get a warning that the extension requires more permissions so it's been disabled. Just go into the extension page and re-enable it.

It now ignores subdomains like www and it works on neogaf.net... I think. I tested it for like 20 seconds.

new version is 1.0.6 if you're wondering
 
After checking out the chrome thread going on I decided to try out waterfox. Generally I'm liking it but for some reason I can't get this to work at all :(

Annnnd scratch that! It's working. WOOO! A happy gaffer is me :D
 
Rise.

I've always wondered: Can the browser scroll the thread when it detects new posts?

For instance: I'm playing SimCity on my main monitor and I let the SimCity Thread on gaf running with Auto-update on the other monitor. However, when there's new messages, the page loads but the page doesn't scroll - so all new messages are below the current one on the browser window.

Auto-scroll would be awesome. :D
 
AWESOME news that you will be working on the addon.

I was wondering... I have no idea if this is technically possible but is there a way for the addon to show you quotes highlights? If I remember correctly, before the re-design, you still had to manually refresh to see the quote highlights. That and the edits but I doubt that adding the edits is possible?

Thanks!
 
Was just checking fixed revisions for plugins.
Thank you D4Danger! SO many thank yous!

I tried to press F5 once and it is not the same as with your Live Thread.

That's possible, but it's something you have to change in the highlighter addon, since that only checks for quotes when the page loads.
 
Man, I miss the live thread button. It's killing me not having it. It says something to the quality of it. It's like it's such a part of Neogaf that it seems weird not having it.

I'm hopefully going to update the Chrome extension today and then if no bugs are found I'll wrap it up into a user script/bookmarklet for everyone else with a decent browser (jQuery is out, you'll need an up-to-date browser)

quote highlighting works because it's part of gaf.

event handlers do not stay attached so quick edit won't work for any of your posts added using live thread. I don't know if there's a way to fix this but you can just open the edit link in another window or something. It sucks, I know.

it can check for edits for the last 100/50 (depending on your page preferences) but it's costly. It's basically just comparing giant blobs of text which causes the browser to freeze for a second or two (I imagine it would be terrible on slower computers). I might make this an opt-in thing or something.

Try this:

Code: 
$( "[id^='post'].postbit" ).each(function(index, element) {
   var id = $(element).attr('id').replace('post', '');
   vB_AJAX_QuickEdit_Init(id);
});

Not 100% sure but it should work.
