@Rowley, wow nice find. I've never seen a Ryan M in the wild, well spotted
This could be why you might not see me:

Logout timer:

@Lifer, I'm not sure how the forum session expiry works, but it's the server logging you out and I have no way of interacting with that. It seems not being idle on forums prolongs your session, but not indefinitely. Even tricking the forums to think you're active wont prevent you getting logged out.

I will look into it but there may be little I can do, and of course there are reasons for having our sessions expire. As for that Link you posted, there is something I can do about that .
It's saved to a cookie named __utmb. It updates to an max age of +1 hour after interacting the page you are on. The max age overall I believe is 6 hours like the main game server-side to check for mutes and bans.

A few things that might have been overlooked:
QFC dead links:

By the way, I think this looks interesting if you were to symbolize dead links :

$('td.messageCell a[href$="#"]').not('.quotedPostLink').contents().filter( function () { return this.nodeType = 3; } ).parent().append('<img src="http://www.indecentcode.com/hween/lock.png">');
Skins:

give us option to switch skin of rs forums.
It's possible as seen here . Re-skinning anything on the site from my experience has the negative effect of load times if it's massive, having to constantly update it to work with site updates, and not loading at all (thanks Tampermonkey).

Avid Firefox user here, is it possible to add it there too? I'm using Chrome now solely for the forums.

Either way, the entire thing is nicely put together. I downloaded it a while back, but it has come a long ways since.
It's possible to add it to Firefox. However it's overall easier to build it for Chrome because of just needing to simply update manifest.json by a version number and fewer files to maintain versus Chrome.

I won't say that it's easy to build either, but porting the extension over to Firefox means that more testing has to be done in the end to ensure everything works properly on both browsers. Maybe with some help it can be done, and I think it's a possibility, but it's likely to be left alone for the time being.

Edit:
For the post above, I was looking at the logout timer a bit more. You could retrieve the cookie like so based off an answer from Stackoverflow (modified slightly):

https://i.imgur.com/6xfO35M.png
function readCookie(name) { return (name = new RegExp(('') + '=([^;]*)').exec(document.cookie)) && name[1]; } readCookie("__utmb").replace(/%20/g, " ").replace(/%2C/g, ",").replace(/%3A/g, ":");
For some reason it only changes (if saved as a variable) when you edit or make a new post. Maybe something else will be better there.

Now I don't think it's a good idea to change the expiration, and I might be wrong that you cannot change the expiration on already set cookies, but you can alert someone when it's about to expire.

Another way is to set a timeout function for 55 minutes although I'm unsure if setting a settimeout of 3,300,000 will reduce performance on the page. Just food for thought. On another note, found that noparse works for at least something now. No more emoticons in code.

Hiya Ryan M

Wow I don't even know what part of RS that pic is from (though I haven't logged in on this account since before Halloween), I assume it's Elf City?

You just saved me loads of time in regards to the cookie, ty for that.
Yes, it's part of the Ithell section of Prifddinas. I just have it where if you position the camera a certain way while using the Orb of Oculus most of Prifddinas will disappear.

You should check your main account once in awhile anyway even if it's just for a few moments. You are welcome as I was also interested in the session information.

Edit: Not that it matters much, but it seems that if the first post is hidden on any page in a thread the clan names will not appear below avatars on that page. Maybe it has been seen before and wasn't thought of much. Anyhow, cheers.
