Awesome AoDude, thanks for the detailed post

I have no problem getting the comments via JSONP, getting comments is something I've been able to do from the start.

$.ajax({
url: "...........42iatz/invention_megathread/42iatz.embed?limit=1&t=all",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function (response) {
console.log(response);
}
});

But I still cant get the actually topic's contents.

For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/42iatz/invention_megathread/

That's where I'm having trouble. I'll look into it again, but currently if someone posted that link, and linkify were to embed it, all you'd see is the first comment, not the guide.

I feel like I'm missing the point somewhere, either with the api or with reddit :/

I was hoping to embed the main post, and/or include it with comments.

A comment without any subject matter is what I'm trying to avoid.

The way I see it is embedding content is so you don't need to leave the forums. But embedding comments without the actual topic means you have to go to reddit to put the comment in context. Defeating the purpose of embedding.

If embedding is doing nothing more than linking to the full content I have to ask myself what's the point.

After seeng this, I'd need to go to reddit to view the thread. The most usful bit is the link at the bottom and I'm already providing that.

I don't mean to sound down on it, I like that JSONP is working for comments, but it feels lacking without the subject.

I'll keep fiddling around with it. I worry I'm putting too much emphasis on the subject matter. Perhaps I need to rethink what reddit is all about.

I do however really appreciate all your help with this, when I got comments embedding I thought I was onto something but I have just been going in circles from then on :/

Edit: If it has be to be comments only, I'll do that. Just seemed odd to me is all

Thanks for your patience AoDude. I don't get reddit and that's where my problems stemmed from. I guess I placed too much importance on getting the subject.

Anyway here's how it looks (exactly as I had it the other day but I stopped because I thought it was incomplete).

I still have some things to do before I can push it out, but I should get it out today

Update Time!

RS Linkify Version 3.1.9.43-ish <-- Yes "-ish" as this covers a couple of updates.

- Embeds Reddit comments (Thanks AoDude) It can be toggled see: Settings --> Embedding

- Fixed an issue with consecutive smilieys (Thanks Bodyy).

- Removed the code and options for default fonts as it's no longer needed.

- Forum Home: expanded/contracted sections are remembered.

- Text to Image codes are no longer case-sensitive. For example...

* FaCePaLm
* Facepalm
* facepalm
* FACEPALM

should all work

Big thank you to everyone for all the comments, feedback, bug reports and coffee ­<3

Thanks for the update

At least we can get some more knowledge about the game from Jagex into the forums now, even if it's just by embedding what they say on Twitter and now Reddit
