OP
I'm not exactly sure where to post this, I'm now cross-posting it in the introduction and greets forum.
For a few weeks now I have been creating a Chrome extension similar to the popular Reddit Enhancement Suite. I have been using/testing it myself for a while and I am now ready to share it with Scubaboard users.
What does it do?
The extension adds some enhancements to browsing/using Scubaboard. The following features are included in this release:
Auto-Page:
Similar to Reddits Never Ending Scroll. It will automatically load the next/previous page in the forums topic lists, search results and within an individual thread.
Original Poster:
Simply highlights the original poster of a thread. This will work whether you start on the first page, or jump to the middle of an existing thread. The color is currently set to a lime green but a future release will allow you to set your own color to highlight the OP.
User Tagging:
Allows you to set your own custom Tags/Colors for users. You can use it to remind you of anything about a scuba board user. I've been using it to tag local divers and some of the Instructors at my local shop so I remember who they are. My name is tagged by default as the SBX author but you can change/delete it.
Link Preview:
Shows a small preview of any link embedded in a post.
Enable/Disable features
You can toggle any of these features on/off using the SBX settings icon
Cool! How do I get it?
It currently is only available for Google Chrome. You can install it directly from the Chrome Store.
This thing isn't working!
Send me a private message here or reply to this thread. There's probably a bug. In fact I'll pay for your next air fill if there isn't a bug in here somewhere.
Will this work on other browsers/devices?
This extension currently only works on Chrome on the desktop. If and when extensions can be used on mobile/tablet devices I will port it over and make it work. I will eventually port this over to Firefox if there is enough demand.
I want to help!
Excellent! I plan to open source it shortly on GitHub. Stay tuned.
Can it do this.......
I have 2 features still in development that weren't ready to be released yet (soft-ignore and backup/restore). If you have a good idea for something else to add, send me a message, post below or contribute via GitHub when published.
Mods feel free to move or delete this if this isn't the appropriate forum.....
