I reinstalld it. nothing.
It worked for ages and now just gone. from one day to the other, w/o any changes to firefox or the system.

I just tested quick reply and it works for me. I don't use the inline version of it though since it caused me problems. Probably a factor of extension conficts and server issues.

it's zip, bin, img, dat that are the servers that house the boards the failing boards /a/, /b/, /c/, /g/, /k/, /m/, /o/, /p/, /r/, /s/, /t/, /v/, /w/, /cm/, and /an/ that are at fault
still works on /d/, /e/, /gif/, /h/, /hr/, /u/, /wg/, /i/, /ic/, /y/, /cgl/, /ck/, /co/, /mu/, /n/, /po/, /sp/, and /tv/

the urls changed for zip and img (to bin and dat respecivly), thusly the urls needed updateing in the board xml, which is done. Restart firefox to get the new urls to make it work.
I may need to release a fixed version, some features may be broken. (quick reply etc.).

Are you using the latest version? 0.4.3.1? It should use the cached version eventually (might take a minuet or something). I'll implement a propper timeout later.

Anyone else having a problem with Quick Reply? Nothing is being uploaded with Quick Reply, but normal reply is fine. This is since Damage Incs last update.
Uninstall/reinstall didn't work. Normal Quick Reply & inline exhibit the same problem.
>>301
The inline quick reply should work if the normal reply works, since it just makes a copy of the post form and puts it in a window. I've tested it in /b/ and it worked.
I will need to release a new version to fix some things :(

What do you think about adding something about statistics to the 4chan plugin? Like number of threads started and number of posts made. It would be interesting to know, but it might detract from the overall purpose of 4chan.
What do you think?

For thread watcher could you add and option to auto delete threads that don't exist anymore? Thanks.

hm. probably not, because I doubt I'll feel like implementing things that have no real use. and 4chan is supposed to do away with such epenisry as stats and such.

It's been mentioned a few times but, when using inline quick reply inside a thread the page loads but I have to refresh it myself to see my reply.
Also, could you add something to disable it on particular threads? It doesn't like massive threads (which has also been mentioned). Firefox hangs and pops up with continuous 'this script is not loading' messages. And when it does, it lags more than UT on dialup.
I also find I have to disable the plugin when people spam for the gets.

how about adding a "new" column to the thread watcher so that you know when there is a new post to your watched thread.
also when i click on the "TW" link to get the full view it does not do anything

Hm yes, the TW link does seem to be broken. I'll look into it, thanks.
>>308
I'm working on speeding things up at the moment. I'm adding a "post threshold" for threads, where if its loading a large thread it won't add buttons etc, which should speed things up a lot. The buttons will then be added when you hover the mouse over a reply for X <unit time>s.
>>308
I don't want to do things that would cause extra (un-needed) load on the servers. Thats why I haven't added something to tell you when there are new replies to a thread.

Any particular reason all the board are gone from the pref panels, I have a "4chan" menu I can't get rid of, and before that, I got a HTTP 200 code error every time I tried to delete a post (janitor here)? Looks like it is because your site is down?
Seriously, it's irritating that every time your server goes down, the plugin stops working. PLEASE build everything INTO THE PLUGIN and release a new version. Your server isn't even remotely reliable enough to depend on. I don't care if I occasionally need to download an updated version (that's what firefox update checking is for).

>>311
If you are using the latest version (0.4.2.1) then, if the site is down, the last version of the board data will be used (but it might take a minuet or two after the browser starts).
If the quick reply etc. buttons are there, then their probably not working because you have ietab installed? I'm yet to find out why ietab breaks the extension.
>>312
The latest version (0.4.2.1, or maybe 0.4.2.0 for the janitor version I forget) has caching thought it might take a minute for the local file to be loaded, I'll make this a shorter in the next version. Though if you have boards showing in the menu then the problem is something else.
All of the "4chan" menus can be disabled through the config.
the error you are getting is because 4chans sub-donains have changed, and this requires alot of changes to the extension, and I report features to add to the admin/janitor version of the extension, which takes time, I can build you a version of the latest beta if you like, which most of the problems are now fixed (talk to me on irc).
And no, I'm not going back to the "board data is build into the extension" ways, because its such a hassle to have to release a new version every time something changes (which is usually quite often). It doesn't make any sense to do it that way.
I'll remind you that the extension does NOTHING that you can't do without it, it just aims to make it a bit quicker/easier. And no one is forcing you to use it (if moot is then he shouldn't be!).

Does anyone else have a copy of 0.4.3.1 on a website that isn't down right now? =/
I have 0.4.1.3, and the self-update has never worked, hence why I'm running an old version. I do in fact have an --empty-- 4chan menu I can't get rid of in my menubar (the "menu" is completely disabled in the preferences.)
Why does the extension require so many changes when the boards switch hosts? They don't change that often, or at least they shouldn't. And why are the boards switching hosts, anyway? CNAMEs anyone?
Downloaded the updated version from mainpage>tools, and now it doesn't work- period. LayoutDocument has no properties area which I assume is why the menu is unpopulated. I thought it would be because I had to uninstall the previous version rather than update, and the website was down. But none of the other features work either.
>>313
You have an option to disable/enable specific boards. Couldn't you expand that to modify/add custom menu items?

ifox breaks the config window. If you must use it then change to a differet theme (ifox it the only one that breaks it that I know of), change settings and change back.
>>337
are you using the latest version? The latest version caches the last downloaded board data and uses it when the site is down. see: http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/. >>338 must be using the latest version.

So now I have version 0.4.3.0 of the janitor plugin, and it complains on startup every time that the XML file "contains no boards".
The janitor version of the extension is not fully ready yet. I said you can irc me if you want a beta (but working) version, but you didn't. email me with who you are and what board(s) you janitor and I'll give you the latest beta.

Hmm.. That's odd. It just gets annoying after awhile. My tab will say "Loading..." with the animation as well as my mouse having the "Working In Background" cursor. It'll do this endlessly until I refresh.
Just checking what it was doing and if it was normal. :)
I'm having an upload problem and wasn't sure where to ask
when I try to upload ,all it comes back with is "Error: Upload failed."
I made sure the file wasn't to big ,but can't figure out what the problem is
on a side note I'm on a *nix box and was wondering if that would cause a problem for the site when finding the file location
like "/home/username/pic.jpg" ,but this is the only site I've had this problem with even hotmail can upload files like this
any pointers ?

moot is lazy and hasn't updated the tools page for the latest version. The newest version is avaliable here:
>>350
I doubt its a *nix pronblem, I use linux to write and test the extension, and seldom test it in windows. Is the upload problem with quick reply? if so is it the external window one or the embedded one? The external window one is broken untill I fix it (soon I hope :( ).

Well, if I remember correctly (which I probably don't) an older version of the extension would refresh the page after sending the message through Quick Reply/Quote. Maybe a toggle for this option? That'd be cool. :D

I can't get the one-window thread watcher to work like it used to. When I click the TW link, nothing happens. Any idea why ?
I also have 2 suggestions:
- It would be cool if the TW pruned automatically deleted threads. I don't know if it can be done without too much work, but the check could be made at FF startup (to avoid putting too much constraint on server)
- Given the fact that /b/ is now on forced_anon and topicless, it would be nice to add a description for watched threads. Simply being able to edit the topic title would do the trick.

Well, when I turned on my computer this afternoon and went to the 4chan menu, it was empty. It might not have been the latest version, though. I grabbed it off the Tools page a couple weeks back. I'll have to update it with the one on wrathfilledhate when that's back up; thanks for the tip.

I've upgraded to 0.4.4.0 and after visiting 4chan and then moving to another site, I keep getting tooltips popping up next to the mouse cursor.

Affraid not. And I don't plan to implement things that auto download things, I don't want the extension to be a burdon on the servers.
i get the empty tooltip too. and my context menu explodes with all options that are normally hidden ("save image" when right clicking on text), none of them seem to work either.
