| WARNING : The following post contains large doses of "Opinion" -=-=- In general I tend to shun "Browser Extensions" in the same way that I despise specific Apps for websites, and Mobile-Editions, and all that kind of stuff. They all segregate the audience. You can never be sure if the person you're replying to has the right setup to see the result that you're trying to explain to them. Much better, IMO, if you say to the Admin "Hey guys, you need to add X/Y/Z", and have it implemented for everyone, rather than breaking it so that just a select few get that enhancement. One for all, and all for one. And if your website doesn't work right on a Mobile device, scrap the whole lot, and start again. |

| I found that your extension works ONLY with the new site (monkey-x)... it takes a little to find my problem! Very handy your 'Select code' function. ps: I dont know why, but your 'forum codes buttons' are not ever shown. (at the moment I'm writing this post, in another tab I've opened another tab and in that thread the 'post reply' has the buttons... |

| Thanks nikoniko! Nice additions. One thing doesn't look like in your screenshot: I would like to see the last posting date "by Skn3 (56 minutes ago)" in a separate last column to get a faster overview of last postings. Now it is at 2nd out of 4 columns. Looks like your first screenshot has this already, but doesn't work here with Safari. EDIT: Just found out your "Active Topics" page has this already. Thanks! :) Also, could you change the forum to get displayed at 90% (or 80%) in browser window width? With screen width of 2560 and fullscreen browser, only round about 30%-40% of the width are used. |

We can get flickering when page's width is changed. |

if (bodyWidth > 1600) {
$("div.sheet").animate({maxWidth: "90%"});
}
New version will uploaded soon. |

| New version is ready. Extension works in IE under user limited account. Installation requires admin's rights. Link to download IE version http://crossrider.com/download/ie/50802 |

All my messages are highlighted. |

| As I mainly use my ipad for this forum, could this be adapted in some way to work on the iPad? Chrome for iPad for example? |

New painting feature - message's color depends of time when comment was written. New messages are painted by green color, old messages has a lighter green color. |
| ||
Update: Highlighting new messages, comments and topics after last visit. |
| ||
| Update: New content button "Update" Edit: And Edit button |
| ||
| These are nice ideas, but I really think this should all be almost standard features of the forum without requiring users to install browser extensions. I'm with @electricboogaloo on this one. |
