Forum Buddy – Browser Extension: Notifications for when you are quoted in a post!

[Absentone]

shouldn't be, it's honestly probably something else

Can't check threads often so had to disable again for the time being until the full forum checks doesn't mark as read.

Will check back for updates, that's the only issues I see right this minute.

it seems after a certain amount of time all "new posts" get marked as "read" or "old" overtime (2 or 3 hours after the post is labeled as "new"?) and the go to new post button disappears regardless if forum buddy is installed/on or not. can someone correct me if I am wrong? I don't think there's anything to fix, I'm not sure.

I haven't been on since I posted that and all the posts showed as new just now, 6ish hours later, FB disabled.

well this thread should of showed as "new posts" because that post I just posted was 5 minutes ago, but I just uninstalled FB quote before writing this post ill check this thread later. as long as I don't go in the thread your post quoting me should remain as a "new post" correct? I can refresh my user CP as many times as I want I just cant go ITT right?

let's see if it works

new mentions are not showing up. it works sometimes after refreshing.

I'm using it again; you convinced me brah

I think there's a bug in the forum code itself. Even without the extension, I often get old threads showing up as unread.

The entire 'new thread' algorithm is pretty bad tbh - it doesn't even cater for various devices. For example, if I check my CP in the morning on PC1 and have to run out the door - then PC2 will not display those unread threads in my CP.

I only log on one computer, if there is new posts in a thread on my usercp I never refresh the page without first clicking the link to the newest thread.

I had everything read at 12 something pm, I refreshed the tab with my UserCP on it at 6 something pm and it showed everything since I had posted, even the thread posted about 2:50 something pm

If you think you fixed the full forum check to work let me know and I will enable the extension again for testing.

EDIT NM, I am enabling it, last time I checked the threads for the night will be now.

[BroolStories]

Suggestion:

I've seen some people complaining about having infractions from years/months ago stuck on their usercp, so maybe you could an option to hide old infractions?

[ManWithNoName93]

For some reason this extension was removed from my browser. Having to reinstall it now. Not sure what happened.

that would be fairly easy but I dont have any infractions in my CP to test it with hah

alright Ill give it a try. I disabled the full forum check just as a test on my dev and it seemed to produce the same results with it on.

tell me how you like it after you try it out

[Absentone]

tell me how you like it after you try it out

Overnight it didn't mark anything as read that I hadn't read, computer was asleep but it has been awake for about an hour before I refreshed my UserCP.

You haven't even made my version work correctly though have you?

My computer will sit awake all day so we will see if it marks things as red with it enabled.

nope

I find its giving me unpredictable behavior so I don't know what needs fixing hah I am trying to do a test right now too, I have FB disabled and have an unread sub and I am just going to leave it while I browse the forum and see if it eventually marks it as read

they should. you need to make sure to post in a thread after forum buddy is installed so that thread caches and forum buddy will monitor the thread for every time you get mentioned.

Recently got a message that Forum Buddy updated and needed new permissions. Now it wants access to all websites I visit, not just bb.com.


Nothx Jeff

[Absentone]

FB marked a thread I had replied on the same page (this one) as read, the zezi25 post didn't show as new for me even though I hadn't read it.

There is another thread that I did have stuff unread though.
