Well this Invention skill certainly looks to be... Interesting! Hope you're doing well and staying out of trouble, Indy :)

­coffee !
Doing well ty, a little trouble is good (if it's the right sort of trouble).

Hope all is well for you too :)

Oh I've been putting some time into RS Linkify again, now I'm back home and settled in. Just started putting the thread watch list together. Showing recent activity on a select few threads.

So far it seems to be working nicely, I just need to write an interface for it and some options. Once that's done (and maybe a few other little things to tidy up) I'll be almost ready to push out an update.

Really keen to get this out there, not because of the bookmarks and associated features, but also because of the performance improvements I've made. When the forums recently came to a halt I used the opportunity to try out some different approaches and test them on buggy/laggy pages. I think I've made some huge improvements.

Currently RS Linkify waits for pages to load and all scripts to complete before jumping in and doing it's stuff. That's all about to change soon, as Linkify will jump in very early (before the page is completely built by the browser) and get stuff happening.

This means not only a performance boost (custom text colours, post backgrounds, custom avatars, etc will appear to be instant and images may also embed faster). It also means if the page fails Linkify will have already attached it's own events to take over what's missing (quoting is just one example). Pages wont jump around when embedding content and lots of other improvements. Really can't wait to push this out :)

Hey Indy, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with Linkify or not... or what's causing it.

Linkify is broken for it, but if you manually copy and paste it works? Is this because the image is too big? I think I just now realized that as I'm typing -_- lol

^ Looks like same issue as gyazo (without the file extension type in link) that pads the image with whatever HTML there is. Can't directly view the picture alone.

Oh I posted on your thread before seeing your post here. The linkify message is correct. It's not a link to an image but to webpage. But it's not just that as I explained below :)

Hiya Bodyy :)

Edit cos I typed lbody.

Tip for dropbox image embedding, as they try to make it so you cant hotlink images. But there is a simple way.


Change:
ht tp://www.dropbox.com/
s/yq6m6ftq1krbm52....................

To this:
ht tps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/
s/yq6m6ftq1krbm52....................


The result is this...
