"Ultimate SBN" Script

Very interesting idea – I like it

will this application also hold my nose in the air and pat myself in the back ?

While I personally probably won’t use it, this is excellent work Zephyr. This gets a rec from me because instead of just complaining about an issue you went looking for a solution.

Thanks, Zephyr. I was one of the ones who expressed interest in such a script/extension. I’ll give it a whirl for a while and let you know how things go.

it’s…it’s… magic!

Interesting….I haven’t added any names to my “favs” list yet, but zephyr and JP are showing up in pink.

Btw, I would like to add that SBNation support isn’t responsible for what may or may not happen when you run this script, so if you use it, you’re on your own.

Take that, jordanDC!

rec’d, zephyr. i wish i could work magic like this with computer code. looks like i’ll be switching from chrome to firefox, at least while i try it out.

Great work Zeph. I’m very impressed. I’ll definitely tinker with it when I get some time and hopefully teach myself some scripting in the process. Just curious, what language is it written in?

While I rec’d and applaud your effort I won’t be using it.

Awesome work, I’m impressed! I really like having the highlighted comments. (Also, I’m having way too much fun tinkering with color codes. Hard to find one that is just right.)

hey zephyr, is there a problem with using names that have spaces in them? def possible i screwed up somehow, but favorited names like “Ice Warrior” and “Bald Pollack” aren’t getting the pink treatment while names like “CP2Devil” and “zephyr” are.

and a suggestion: it might be cool to have different groupings with different colors. like “classes” of colors. in particular i was thinking of making all the Rink editors one color and all my fav commenters another color.

Rec’d for a good idea, don’t know about the execution (yet). Might try it later

Rec’d for the concept, but I prefer to read everyone’s posts. The color idea is pretty neat, though.

Suggestion (and maybe SBN already has a way to do this): The ability to “z” through posts that have been rec’d green would be pretty nice.

Here’s sort of a philosophical question on this point – would you (anyone) be more comfortable with the idea of this script if it didn’t have the “ignore” feature? Is the ability to ignore other commenters a good thing or something that fractures the community in an undesirable way?

While I do have some programming experience, I’m not savvy enough to write such things.

One thing though: When I “z” through comments, it skips my “fav” comments. Any way to fix that?

Right now what I like is the color change. Now all I gotta do is figure a way to tweak the code to make everyone’s posts ‘colorful’.

I like the highlighting, because I have a tendency to Z through threads of comments I can tell won’t interest me and I’m sure I miss some good stuff from good posters there.

But, that’s the nice thing, everyone has options now instead of bickering about fairly trivial things!

Rec’d for taking the bull by the horns and doing something — Will give it a try!

Hey Z – another suggestion: you might want to create a separate preferences file. That way, when you update the script, we can all save our names and color preferences. Right now, if we reload, we lose all of our own customization.

this seems to work on other SBN sites (that may be implicit in the title. I just wanted to explicitly state that.) Just add the site’s URL to the “included pages” section of the greasemonkey panel.

Thanks for this! Just what I wanted for Christmas … :)

Curious if anyone else has experienced a serious Firefox performance degradation after installing greasemonkey and then zephyr’s “Ultimate SBN” script? Love the idea – using only to highlight certain people, not to ignore anyone – but I had to turn the greasemonkey off because it bogged down Firefox so badly. For example, trying to “z” key, arrow key, or even mouse scroll down through comments was almost impossible, hestitant, herky and jerky – after hitting one of those keys, ther would be a nearly one second delay before the action materialized on screen. Perhaps I need to download the latest version of zephyr’s script?
