Sounds complicated??????

Why don't you just deal with the person and find some middle ground.

Are you f**king serious? You can have this up and running in two minutes flat. Most of the moronic posters around here have been being buttheads for two plus YEARS. Now the problem is solved.

Hell, if we had this a few years ago, several posters who're long gone might still be hanging around instead of the specific dipshits that insist on making this their personal dumping grounds.

I'm going to really enjoy this function.

I only have 4 people on my ignore list

Endnelt
ferry spider
metro like
NJ chiefs bundle of sticks

That's two more than I do. What's your point? This isn't an easier way to manage the list, it's a real way to ignore that list.

Too bad stuff like this can't just be integrated into the board. My only complaint is that this would be a bit of a pain to manage since I use five computers fairly regularly.

There's a possibility the list could be insecurely stored remotely.

I agree this would be much better served integrated into the board. Would have been a hell of a lot easier, too.

very nice .... works for me on firefox 2xx




so when is the script coming to fix the server? :p

The fact that I don't know what "opera" and "firefox" are is kind of fucking me up from the start. Could we get a bit more explanation on the base whatever-they-ares for those of us who aren't exactly computer savvy?

Great idea, though. We've needed an effective ignore technique for... well, basically since the inception of the BB.

When you launch your browser is the thing you click on a blue "e", a red "o", or an orange fox around a globe?

I don't have anybody on ignore, here on CP or anywhere.

I did it once and always wondered what the one who sucks the penis was saying about me. it bothered me more using it. heh.

Blue "e"

You're screwed. Sorry.

i think your screwed

Pretty cool!

No way I can switch?

That worked. Thanks!

fuckin A! I JUST ERADICATED MECCA! WOO HOO!!!!!

Simplex, YOU ROCK! :wayne:

you and a 1,000 other people here...

Beautiful, ain't it? :D

ROFL

actually, I thought you typed "Hootie"


my bad..... :banghead:

Can you ignore yourself? That would be TRIPPY!

Firefox is the best internet invention, ever. All the plugins and functionality really make surfing a better experience.

Plus, around 30% of all internet users, use Firefox now.

Attention Developers (cough cough.. Simplex)

The same thing can be ported over to IE7. I just downloaded and installed IE7Pro (free) and it supports user scripts which are a dead ringer for GreaseMonkey scripts. I'd finish porting this over for IE tonight, but I need to go to work early and need some shuteye. :)

Anyone want to finish the port this GreaseMonkey script over to IE7?

Few quick differences to point out:

prompt -> PRO_prompt
GM_getValue -> PRO_getValue
GM_setValue -> PRO_setValue

Here are the links to get you going:
IE Pro 7
Developer Docs
IEScripts Home

IE Pro 7 is pretty cool by itself and definitely worth the install.

If nobody gets to this I might be able to work on it a bit more tomorrow. Like I said, I started it, but I'm getting an error. I'm sure it's probably a difference in the DOM. Just rename the attachment to remove the txt extension and drop this into your 'userscripts' directory once you have IE7Pro installed. Follow the directions on the IEScripts site to enable it and access the menu items.

No shit.

My firefox is pimped out with add-ons.

Ah, the fabled ported version. Good luck with maintaining that. :)

There's also GM4IE (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=gre...=UTF-8&fr=moz2), but I'm not testing or maintaining anything beyond the *****OFFICIAL***** Firefox version.

:)

The biggest problems with going cross-browser are going to be related to the DOM and this thing basically lives in it full time. I can't think of a single compelling reason for more than 10 or 20 percent of the users to use IE instead of Firefox so spending a bunch of our (my) time coding cross-browser support doesn't make much sense when I could be plugging in new features instead. A lot of the upcoming features I'm planning get even deeper into the DOM and do things like overlayed DIVs, script-generated forms and images, etc. Keeping two versions synced could become problematic and would definately add overhead.

Awww. I see "CPIggy'd user Hootie" is still trolling for attention.

That's so cute.

not as cute as instead of just using the feature and ignoring them, to just talking about them.

baby steps, i guess...

Any idea when I go to Tools then Greasemonkey the "user script commands" is grayed out so it can't be chosen?

1. Make sure you've refreshed the page after installing the script.
2. The menu options are only available when you're on a ChiefsPlanet forum page somewhere.

If that doesn't do it then let me know what version of Firefox you're running.

Same thing with mine. Using Firefox 2.0.0.7.

I did a test. I got on a different machine. Downloaded everything again. Tested it. Worked fine. Then I rebooted the machine. Opened Firefox and it comes back grayed out and does not work.


*****edit****

Now for some reason it is working again on the second pc.

Simplex,

Here is what I did. I went to Tools/greasemonkey/ and User script commands was grayed out. I clicked the link in your sig which opened up a new tab. Went to Tools/greasemonkey/ and user script commands was available. Weird.

If you want to ignore someone, why not just ignore them? If you don't like someones post or thread, don't respond to it. It's really that simple. I've been preaching this on this BB for years.

I'm just flattered I got under your skin SO BADLY you made this thing, YET you still read all of my posts...

That makes you reeruned!

Great idea, Simplex. It's a bonus for me because I didn't know that Opera works with Greasemonkey. I already use Greasemonkey to make MySpace tolerable, and I occasionally use Opera when I have FireFox problems.

how do you use Greasemonkey with MySpace to make it tolerable?

Just curious...

Dude, hurry and delete your post. You don't want to remind people to add your name to global ignore!! HURRY!!!!11

I use a lot of Greasemonkey scripts. I made up a profile because I have so many family members that live far away from me and to keep in touch with friends from work who are now on a different schedule than me. Greasemonkey really helps.

I just looked and I have thirteen MySpace scripts on my version of Greasemonkey. And I still get annoyed with it sometimes.

I think considering Simplex3 went to all the trouble to create this great new feature (Gaz would probably still be here had this been a available two years ago) that he should get some gloat time.

You probably had the old version installed.

Why is it that the dumbest people are the ones offended by this script?

:hmmm:

In the next version I believe I'm going to do something like AdBlock, where you can subscribe to block lists. We'll have the Liberal blocklist, the Conservative blocklist, the Moron blocklist...

Washington D.C. forum users be advise CPIggy works just great in that forum as well.:thumb:

Sweet. You should do a poll in DC to flesh out the lists.

This statement is ironic other than I don't think you're dumb.


Don't get me wrong, if this feature prevents dogpiling and all the high schoolish popular/loser mantras, then I say bravo....the real test will be to see if people can actually not talk about those they choose to eliminate through what appears to be censorship.

I've only had one person on my ignore list ever. Tom Cash , unfortunately even with CPIggy, I'd have to redo it every time he gets banned and returns with a new username.

Actually Simplex, thinking about this feature, I wonder if the trolls who will be ignored won't just change usernames so they can do their attention-whoring again. I think this might work for a while, but maybe it would flood us with usernames too. I don't know if that's a problem for the programming, but if people started doing that, then it might make using the site more confusing. But maybe that wouldn't happen.

As far as the liberal/conservative list, I hope that doesn't detract from the traffic over there. I guess I think ignoring the views of people on the other side of the political spectrum from you is a big problem with the state of our country right now in general.

I don't think it's a written policy, but I'm pretty sure that I've heard at least some of the mods mention that deceptive multiple accounts is grounds for banning. I don't think it would last long.

They say that, but I'm not sure how well they'd enforce it. (e.g., see - ahem, shut your mouth - 's multiple posts in DC now after he has been banned several times for proof of discretionary enforcement).

Also I'm not really talking about cases where someone would be posting with 2 accounts simultaneously, but rather that they abandon the old account for the new one. I don't know if that violates the policy or not.

I was actually joking about subscribe lists. I think that's a horrible idea. I really did just want this so that people could eliminate the few posters that they feel just make it miserable to be here.

:)

I hope you're not grouping me in with the people offended by the script. I think it is a great idea...I say some stupid shit and I encourage anyone that is offended by my antics to simply ignore me.

don't worry, Simplex has let me know about 15-20 times in the last week that he 'doesn't have to worry' because he 'has me ignored'...

Ha, I see Tom Cash has posted some more garbage here.

Please no one quote him, as I haven't converted to Firefox and CPIggy yet. :)

you guys are really hurting my feelings =(

Banyon no iggy is going to be perfect, this is a huge improvement, it is a slight pain to reregister so I have my doubts we will see a lot of that.

I am pretty sure Simplex would never create the classification iggies if it could even be done.

Stevie, censorship is when I decide you don't get to read something. Censorship is not when you decide to not read something.

I certainly could be done, but it certainly won't be done by me. I'm not going to start pigeon-holing people. It's not my problem.

Right now I'm working on a new config window and an alert system so that CPIggy can tell you when a new version comes out. Since the auto-upgrade will be "phoning home" so to speak I want it to be disabled by default. Applications shouldn't make Internet requests without the user's knowledge.

No I think it's great for a lot of people. I'm just explaining why I probably wont utilize it.

Is there a way to make the edit window in Mozilla work like the one in IE where if you run the cursor over a word and select say bold the word will be bolded? The edit window is the only thing I don't like about Mozilla.

There are controls that do that. That's something that would be MUCH easier done on by the technology team on the server side. To do that through a Greasemonkey script would be tough. I'll look around and see if I can find anything, though.

Thats not necessary, I thought maybe I had just not found a simple setting. I am suprised Mozilla is so archaic in this regard.

Because you looooooooooooove meeeeeeeeeee....because you looooooooooooooooooove meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......ooooooooooooooooooooooooh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah.......you looooooooooooove meeeeeeee.

you can rationalize away however you want...but you haven't decided not to read it, you've eliminated it.

besides, I'm not going to get into a semantics argument over one word that wasn't even the main point of my post.

It's actually a problem with the ancient version of vBulletin we're running - not Firefox. vBulletin looks, sees that you're not using Internet Explorer, and assumes you're using some weird browser that couldn't handle "advanced" code like the edit box. So, it kicks out the really basic editor to make sure that you can respond.

If you ever go to a board on a newer version of vBulletin, the WYSIWYG editor is there.

The reason my ‘user script commands’ was grayed out yesterday was because the ‘included web pages’ in the ‘manage user scripts’ had ‘www’ in the url and for whatever reason the link my favorites did not contain the ‘www’ so it wasn't recognized as an included web page within the script.

Might save you some troubleshooting. Nice Java'n btw.

Ah, didn't realize CP would respond without the www. I'll modify the next version to handle both by default.

Nice job Simplex!

Thanks.

ROFL ROFL

I've been gone for too long.

That's debatable.

ok simplex, this was an excellent idea and you made it work...

let me know if you make a version that will work on ie...

while i'm waiting, let me just say thank you on behalf of nearly everybody on the planet...

:hail: :hail: :hail:

Because some people on this board feel the need to start threads for every thought in their head with no regard for whether there's already an existing thread in which their thoughts could be added.

Why would you want to ignore someone? The a$$holes make this place much more fun. Hell, without ShitLip Towne I would only be watching the Rockies beat the snakes tonight.

CPIggy 2.0 is on it's way. If you guys think it's currently an achievement then just wait.

Efficiency is going up, configuration is going way up, and there will even be a new feature or two. It may be a few weeks, but it will be worth the wait. With V2 you won't even know that it isn't built into the board.

:D

OH BOY GOLLEE GEE

You must be bored. Idle minds.

I could be sitting around the house piddling myself to a poster of Hutard.

:shrug:

That would be idle hands.

*** NOTE: You should unload CPIggy 1.x BEFORE you install v2.

If you'd like a taste of what's coming:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12975

That's 2.0.0.a1 (alpha 1). It's certainly not feature complete yet, and the Ignore Words don't do anything. However, it will give you a feel for the upcoming interface and it corrects the problem of not being able to ignore users with spaces in their names. It *IS* feature complete to 1.x and does work.

v2 does away with the two "User Script Commands" for configuration and moves to a simple config screen which is accessed directly from the ChiefsPlanet menu at the top of your screen. Right there, next to the "Search" button. Click where it says "CPIggy".

Enjoy. :)
