Is there a fix for Safari by any chance?

Mike D88

A cursory search suggest there's a GreaseMonkey equivalent plugin for Safari called GreaseKit. I might look into it later, but for now I can't claim to support Safari.

I'm glad this has helped some of you out. The reason I started this was to prevent anyone from leaving the community over something trifle like the forum appearance. Hopefully this demonstrates that the problem is not insurmountable.

Some improvements are still needed for the black and white scripts, but I've been busy with some other projects lately. Not sure when I'll get back to those, but for now the legacy version looks good.

Thank you Mike D. Your latest script has made all the difference. Great job, it's a real gift to a lot of us here!

To any of you out there who have doubts about doing this believe me, if I can figure out how to download Firefox, Greasemonkey and the latest Mike D. script just about anybody can. I'm a real klutz around computers and I managed and this place is looking great on my screen these days!

No problem Mike, I'm just so grateful for your fix, and my eyes thank you too!

Your my hero! Thanks so much for your work!

Great job, this really helps!

I was using the legacy style script, and then it just stopped working and the forum reverted back to the 10C stock version. I've played around with the other greasemonkey scripts, and the only one that works for me now is the inverted (black) version.

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and/or knows how to fix.

Having said that I am still super grateful that the inverted version is working

I sort of had the problem with greasemoney. It seems not to run the script when I'm logged out. It runs it when I'm logged in. The black script doesn't seem to care, but the legacy one needs me to be logged in.

Mike D88

Mine kicks off when logged out as well. I think I said I was going to look at that earlier and forgot to.

Problem solved - thanks you guys!

I'm using the legacy script at the moment. It's of course awesome!!! Just one little thing, which needs fixing. When I open a thread, that has more than one page, and want to bookmark it I cannot do it, because I have the search function popping up every time when I try to click on the star icon. Anyone noticed this?

Brony

wow this is a total mindblow. thank you so so much!!

Mike D88

Minor fix tonight for the legacy style. This update changes poll fonts to black and fixes the issue where the style wouldn't apply when logged out.

The link for those that don't want to click back to the OP.

I haven't been able to replicate this. Can you post a screenshot?

Thanks Mike for the legacy script, my eyes appreciate it.

Mike D88

Another update today to put the side panel back in profile preferences, surprised nobody called me out on that.

Thanks. I noticed it the other day when I found out I could change what I see for peoples signatures. I didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I disabled the script, changed the setting, then reenabled the script. Never occured to me to complain Thanks for the fix!

I don't know if it's a problem in the 'black' script but when I try to edit my post, the text appear white on the white background.

Except that, everything is fine and I still thank you for your work.

Zod

I thought I'd bump this post as I saw a few more people ranting about the forums. These scripts (especially the classic one) make for forums very usable on a PC again.

Mike D88

Minor update to legacy tonight to fix positioning on the edit discussion page.

Leezestarr313

Thanks again, Mike D88! Your script is the reason why I still come back here...

I notice the section headers (ie Home › Pearl Jam's Music › The Porch) at the top of my page are not visible unless highlighted.

Thanks for your assistance.

Using legacy now... You're amazing.

10c.... HIRE THIS MAN.

It's all good now actually. I uninstalled and reinstalled the script and everything works perfectly.

Much thanks.

Mike D88

Recent updates to the board have broken these scripts. Since 10C is addressing the concerns the scripts were meant to resolve, I don't think I'll be updating them going forward.

I recommend anyone who was using a script to disable or uninstall it.

njnancy

Sorry to hear that - i was just trying to install and wasn't able to - got error message (chrome). I'll thank you for all your hard work and concern for the community anyway. :( >-

Oh ma-a-a-a-a-an! That's a HUGE bummer! I very much like the legacy script- it's such a GREAT layout and worked very, very well here. I still have it running, flawed or not and will do so as long as possible. After that... maybe time to go bye bye!

In any case, Mike D88, you're awesome, you rock, and thank you for work par excellence!

PJ_Soul

So far the script is the same as always and way way way way better than what 10C is doing! I'll also keep using it for as long as it's better than the actual forum... could be a while, lol.
Thanks for all your work Mike!!!!!!

Update: the lights down feature doesn't even work for me UNLESS I'm using Mike's script. If I disable the script nothing happens with Lights Down, and that fucking sidebar is still there.
