Is it not possible to let people choose if they'd like white or orange?

It is possible, but I prefer to have most of options apply to functionality, of course I have options for cosmetic things too but most of my colouring options fall under functionality.

Custom colouring titles isn't really an improvement (it can be argued custom avatars aren't either, but the popularity and fun factor more than make up for that). However I think uniformity in text colouring makes for better readability.

There is a reason I try to keep some options to a minimum, technically I could have toggle for everything, but here's why I don't...

The amount of combinations verses permutations for options, that RS Linkify goes through with every page view is already huge. This is called cyclic complexity and the higher the complexity the more resource hungry the scripts become.

Best practises are to keep cyclic complexity as low as possible. I probably already have 100's of thousands of possible combinations of settings that can be applied, adding one more might not seem like much but it can add to it exponentially.

So if I ever seem reluctant to throw in extra options, chances are this is why. Often I have no choice. I try for a one size fits all approach first, then if needed I'll expand on it.

Tl:dr: Options are nice, cyclic complexity is not.

@Singularity, Amaethwr, Emil, Rowley and Lifer...

Thank you all for the posts, it's very much appreciated.

I'm putting together a list right now, however I wont push an update just yet. I'll give it a few hours just in case more issues arise.

Please don't hesitate to post any issues regardless of how minor it may seem. From the posts so far (without even looking at code) I have a good idea where to start.

Thank you all for your help and patience :)

My title seems to be orange, whereas the Final Boss (which appears to the left of quick post) is grey. Your custom title is grey too, whereas everyone elses is orange.

I'd prefer it if they were all grey to be honest, which is something you touched on in your last post.

My custom post borders no longer work, nor do my "Last post by" colours, but those issues have already been picked up. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Quoting posts seems to mess signatures up. Not sure how to explain it, but it seems that the signature code appears at the start of the post, so the signature appears at the top of posts as a result. (as shown in this post) .

As I see you are compiling a list of fun things to fix (because fixing to cope with changes is always a blast!) the two I've noticed that have yet to be pointed out are that the lightbox no longer functions and you don't seem to be "Caffeine Powered!" outside of this thread (not sure if that was intentional).

There are other things I've noticed but they are things I expect Jagex to fix and some of them seem odd like how clicking on the Forums tab in the header while on the forums sends you to a 404 page (fixed locally but that fix will be broken quickly I bet).

Just wondering, if you find the time, think you can run through all the links in the header to remove the tracker information? Not sure why they got so happy in the last 2 weeks with ?jptg=ia&jptv=navbar tracker.

Update: Version 3.1.3.5

Just small fixes, all I have done sorted out custom colours for clan, friends and self.

This includes both text & background colours for last posted, author, and self. Gold borders should be working too (tbh I haven't fully tested) and quote borders should also be working.

Light box should be working now too.

Since the forum update RS Linkify was throwing errors, that's to be expected when the forums change. RS Linkify is written to die gracefully under these circumstances, that way the forums remain usable (wont freeze ot crash as a result of linkify) and some of Linkify basic functions may still work.

All I've done for now is resolve the issues where the errors where thrown. This has had the effect of restoring some features. I see some new issues have been posted, I'm not sure if this update will have any effect on those things, fingers crossed though :)


I still have quite a bit to do and I'll get that done after I've had a little sleep (3:50 am here).

I didn't intend to do an update, but I can't sleep knowing you Linkify users aren't getting the best forum experience that you deserve.

Thanks again for all the bug reports. It's been a big help, keep them coming and I'll address them all as soon as I can.

Thanks :) Sleep well, Indy.

Just noticed this, though.. :P The reply button text on that post is darker than usual:

Is it just because of the post background image?
