AMAZING. Just installed Greasomenkey yesterday for another forum so this is just so convenient! Thanks mate, this works like a charm!
(A suggestion would be to put some of the apostrophes and the link in ordinary format in your post, just to show tho difference...) :lol:

(script doesn't work if you're editing a post that already has an url in it. and the moment for comedy genious has since passed...)

It still was quite funy! I'm aware my suggestion was a little dumb.
Anyway, this topic should probably be placed in another forum, it's not directly pandorarelated.

It doesn't work in Opera.

 

[dflemstr]

That's probably because I didn't use the proper way of namespacing. I've been "poisoned" by the Java way of doing things. I'll try to change the namespace, dunno if that will break compatibility.

Or, it could be because Opera doesn't encode \ followed by " into %5C%22. Firefox does this with its gecko engine. Oh well, I won't be taking up a compatibility fight; if someone wants to change the script, do so and upload the result (Let's say its GPL).

How about a little piece that checks the user's number of posts. If it is below a certain level, it changes the hyperlink for the Post Topic button (you know, the one AFTER you (not YOU specifically, but the user of the script) clicked the new topic button) into a Forum search.

That would actually be pretty nifty.

I fear, however, that the new users sooner or later would notice that the page they arrive to every time indeed isn't the New Topic page
Not likely, with the intelligence level at which some questions here are formulated, but there's that risk.

But maybe if you change the forum UI a bit, and force everyone who registers to use the GM script, hmm...

(By the way, I'm pretty new to this forum aswell, so I really shouldn't be considering this )

Well, what I mean is that say, you click the new topic button. The next page loads and the script does the post check and fixes it up. If the user has too few posts, then they will enter the title for their topic and type in their post. Then they click the post button and it redirects them to the search page, as if you had made a fulltext search with the search terms being the Topic title the user entered.

Oh, I see. Starting to wonder, however, how the forum would survive with 50% less posts.

On a more serious note: JS injection by site-cross scripting would be the only option to force them to use the script, and I say no thanks to that

Something similar coulsd be built into the forum software, though (if InvisionBoard only wasn't so monolithic... oh well)

This is fkn magic dflemstr, thank you!

I'm actually thinking of developing a module that will do something similar to what I described. Although I don't have access to the newer Invision's source, so I probably won't get around to making one for some time. But if I ever have my own forums that I host, I'll make sure they have this feature.

Never fear, get the FetchText or Linkinator addons for Firefox (I prefer FetchText, but the two addons have slightly different features, so it depends on what you prefer)

You all have to realize that this is nothing more than a cosmetic hack; behind the scenes, the apostrophes etc still exist.
This is just a solution while we wait for the forum to get fixed...
So, don't post using just yet, since most forum users don't have the script and thus suffer from it :P

 

[Creature XL]

But we can at least try it out in this thread.

Test Test Test


EDIT: works thank you very much!

EDIT2: Smilies don't work as it seems.

EDIT3: Oh.. you have to refresh the page, then the script gets invoked and smiles DO WORK
At least teh old school ones. without the annoying pics

EDIT: Why do the pics work now?

 

[PoisonedV]

smileys and links and pics dont work for me, creature. weird.

Nice. It's quite funny, as I was just about to write a greasemonkey script, as I was sick of copying the urls into the bar, then removing the last 2 chars and the whole front part. Only problem I am having, is greasemonkey is bugging out on me. It is stuck fetching your script.
