Glad to see you again Korey :)

Indy, when do you think you could have the right click QFC option available to use? I was wondering (if it's possible) do have that same option for forum sections themselves;

Ex. Right clicking 'High Level - RS Discussion' would bring the QFC interface to copy the QFC 259-260.Is it possible to do that for all forum sections? Not just HLF?

Again, thanks for all your time! I really appreciates it :)

Edit- Typo

All sections have their own qfc so yes that's possible.

Not sure when I'll get it done. This is a busy time of year for me with both work and family commitments. I have a lot of things to finish up before the end of the year and unfortunately RS-Linkify isn't one of them.

I may get some little things updated soon, just depends how I feel at the end of the day. As I said a couple pages back I don't plan on doing much until after christmas.

Just know it's not forgotten and if updates are coming slowly it's just 'cos Indy needs to chill :)

Ok, no problem :)

Also, crazy personal suggestion I was wondering if I could do myself, just need a little advice.

Let's say I wanted to make a script that checks when someone posts on a thread (it could check the last user posted at area) and send me an e-mail notifying me that someone posted.

Is such a thing possible? Maybe through Google's Spreadsheets maybe?

$.get('?261,262,33,65181208,goto,1000000000',function(data){console.log($.makeArray($(data).find('#contentmsg .author')).map(function(a){return a.textContent}))})

If you type that into the dev console it'll give you an array of the people who posted on the last page of a thread.

You have to be logged in to access hlf, so I don't know any way to automatically check when your thread gets posted in.

I know how to set something up for threads outside hlf but I would bookmark the threads and check on them regularly rather than make automatic page requests.

Definitely possible,

Off the top of my head I can only think of a few things to consider...

-  Repeated page/content requests. See rules and make sure you understand them. I'm pretty sure there is some leeway here but don't take anything I say as credible. Don't make lots of requests frequently, thats rude and not cool.

- Does the thread require you to be logged in (specialist forums) to view it. Personally I'd advise against using a script to log me into the forums.

- Create a new email account specifically for the task.

That's all I can think of, it's definitely do-able.

There are threads outside the HLF I would like to do this with as well, how would I go about that?

Also,

What Dev Console are you referring to?

And,

How's this possible? I checked the Bookmark section in Linkify's options, but I don't understand what/how it's used

This was something I was worried about. I'll have to check out the specifics and make sure if I decide to do it that it complies with the rules.

Thanks for the reminder :)

You could simply get an alert that someone has posted. Or you could get the last post emailed to you.

If you going to request the entire page you might as well send the last post. At least then you know there and then if you need/want to respond.

I think Blasty is referring to chromes generic bookmarks.

Another thing, and I'm not sure if this will be an issue or not, is same domain policy. I know native javascript will comply with this and not allow some requests (XMLHttpRequest&#8206; will fail I expect) across different domains. Remember there is no official API that's configured to provide easy access, unlike the lite hiscores or GE that are configured to allow this.

Example in console, the script runs fine. When I run it from my site it fails as expected with this error...

"No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://www.indecentcode.com' is therefore not allowed access. "

I can get around it using PHP if I wanted, but that's not a resource you'll have access to. And it becomes more an ethical issue rather than a coding issue, I don't want to go there :)

I'm not sure if using a google service gets around this, that's one of Blasty's areas of expertise. Running in the console is handy but is considered same domain and may not work that way in some cases like I have shown.


Edit: There are mechanisms in place that attempt to detect and prevent auto logging into the forums. I'm pretty sure, they eventually just deny your login request but it's something I'd not be prepared to test.

Edit #2
I just had a quick look at google apps (for the first time) you won't have a problem with your project. Requests that were rejected from my server went through without an issue using google apps. You can pretty much go nuts and do what you want.
