Bugs/Feature Requests

Ah, I probably mis-remembered that then.

 

It's more recent than that anyway? at least IIRC, the status bar was in place before my most recent round of ff14 binging

 

status bar was just below "members online" until very recently, can confirm

my attempt to hide the darn thing with adblock just straight up wants to hide the WHOLE sidebar, so im dealing with it but have no care for it because my watched threads does the same thing, basically, but only for stuff I want to see.

 

It changed with yesterday's forum update I believe

 

Bolded is my main issue. Especially given that a lot of the most active threads on Kintsugi are RPs I'm not in...

 

I already had the statuses hidden, so I checked with examine element, and found the parallel thing for hiding the new posts content.

Adblock: kintsugi.seebs.net##.threadListItem

Spoiler: It should look like this

@Carnivore and @Starcrossedsky and anyone else who wants to disappear it for now.

 

Thank! The "New Posts" table still bothers me but I feel like that part isnt going to be fixable from my side of the internet without borking up. This is good, you are a good @swirlingflight

 

Try kintsugi.seebs.net##.threadList, that just hid it entirely for me.

i am legit so proud of myself, i took what i knew of the profile posts one, and extrapolated the piece to switch off, and then looked further to figure out the similar part for this??? i am learning to Advanced Computer

 

My hax are not good enough to hide the Witness Me forum though. I still have things to learn from this world...

 

Hax: ask mods to ban you from that forum. That hides it

 

you can ask the mods to ban you from a subforum

 

If you want to do it in AdBlock, find the tag that looks like <li class="node forum level_2 node_5">. You can do this by right-clicking the relevant box, and clicking "Inspect".

Then, use a filter like this: kintsugi.seebs.net##node_8
(Replacing the 8 with the number of the subforum you want to hide.)

On Kintsugi, each subforum has a separate node number, which is what makes this work. What you're saying is "hide everything with "node_8" in the name.

You can also hide specific threads with: kintsugi.seebs.net##li#thread-3487
(Replacing 3487 with the thread id.)

This will prevent you from seeing a thread in the subforum listing, but not from accessing threads that are directly linked, or from seeing a thread in the "latest" box on the main page.

 

Ohhh! I kept the period after the ## part, since I was just replacing one term for another, without any real understanding of the formatting of it. Thank you!


Eta: Running into some kind of failure, I have kintsugi.seebs.net##node_22 set to be filtered, but I'm still seeing the Witness Me forum.

 

Sorry, I can't type. You are 100% accurate, it should be kintsugi.seebs.net##.node_22

Does that work properly?

 

It did! :o Thank you!

I prefer hiding it with adblock, because then I can just disable the filter any time I think I need into the forum, rather than wait for a mod to unban me. It's easier on me, requiring less communication and less delay-of-variable-timeframe.

 

Stating for the record, I personally like having the new posts sidebar.

 

@swirlingflight No worries; makes sense to me! :D I need to remove temptation from myself, and I never wanna be in that forum, so mod banning has been easier for me.

Here's the documentation - https://adblockplus.org/en/filters#advanced

And here's why it works - the period means you're blocking a class name. That just means something like <div class="name">. It's inclusive, so for instance, kintsugi.seebs.net##.node will block anything with "node" somewhere in the class name. (Which in this case means all of the subforums.)

A # means you're blocking an id name. Which means something like <div id="name">. Again, that's inclusive.

[kintsugi.seebs.net] -> domain this works on. If you don't specify one, I think it just works on all domains.
[##] -> "I want to block specific kinds of stuff from this domain"
[.node] -> "block anything with a class name that includes "node"."

AdBlock assumes that when you don't specify a tag name, like <div> or <li> or <a>, you want it to work on all tags - e.g., kintsugi.seebs.net###thread-3487 .
You could also use a "wildcard" (an asterisk), which explicitly says, "work on all tags" - e.g., kintsugi.seebs.net##*#thread-3487 .
Or, you can specify a particular tag name - e.g., kintsugi.seebs.net##li#thread-3487 .

All of these work the same here, since "thread-3487" is only used in the context of <li id="thread-3487"> on the site.

(And on a sidenote, a <div> is a "division", e.g., a chunk of the page. <li> is a "list item", e.g., "a thing that's in a list", usually contained in a <ul>, an "unordered list". (An "ordered list" adds numbers at the front - 1), 2), 3).))

All of this is stuff that's not really in the docs, they just assume you'll know it if you're trying to do something fancy, for programmery reasons.

 

I love having the option! I just also love having the option to disable it. Customization makes a happy Swirl.


@albedo I promise I will be rereading that post a couple of times, because oh man, that is good stuff. Thank you! I love learning this sort of thing, and so much of the intro stuff is painfully boring or too dense to penetrate. So much easier to learn when it's hands-on stuff related to something I want to achieve.

 

No worries. :D I know it's a pain in the neck to learn, which is why I'm longforming at you. I never got into programming classes either; I pretty much just learned on the job.

Regular expressions are also handy when you start getting fancy with this stuff - they're a way to specifically describe the kind of text you're looking for. For instance, (node8|node_8) means "either node8 or node_8". https://regex101.com/ is an awesome way to pick them up. o/
