Going down for maintenance this weekend

[ohmman]

One "feature request" I'd ask for if possible (and maybe it's not) would be to have a dropdown menu list of forums - rather than click on the "Forums" button in the header, and then picking the forum I want to go to. Would save a click and reload.

I think this could be easily solved if the "compass" came back. Maybe I was the only one who used that, but it was the best way to move around between forums rapidly.

I'd also add that I think adding "sort by - Unread" in the "Watched Threads" page would solve our issue, as opposed to latest post. That's really all that's required to get the same functionality in my mind.

Thanks, @HankLloydRight ! I installed this and it appears to work exactly the way I would want it to. I've always opened threads in new tabs like that so it's great to have it done automatically now. Thanks for also adding the link to toggle back to the original view. I did notice that the Show All Threads link doesn't toggle. Maybe change it to Show New Threads if it is showing all threads already or hide it after all threads are displayed and I'll know to just refresh the page? Thanks again!

Any suggestions for Chrome on Android? I see they have a mobile version of TamperMonkey but the reviews aren't the best.

Ok, I've added the feature to toggle the Unread threads on and off for each page.
Also, the thread title link currently in White text for Dark mode, and Black text for normal mode turns grey when clicked. So it's easier to keep track on the page which threads you've clicked on.

All you need to do is go to the Tampermonkey dashboard and click on the "Last Updated" figure to update the script locally.

What browser are you using? I do have to click the bell but the alerts are all shown in a pop-up for me when using Chrome. In Chrome for Android (mobile), I see a similar "popover".

On the old site, all you had to do was hover over the alert icon and the alerts popup displayed. Now you have to click on it to get the popup.

I agree, this is a tiny feature, but I used it all the time.

Would appreciate some tweaking of site breadcrumbs on mobile - can only go up one level at a time now, and when you hit the top of a forum section (e.g. “Tesla Vehicles”) you’re stuck - there’s no quick way to get all the way back to the top-level forum home.

Now you have to press the bell-button to see the alerts (and they come in a page, not in a popup).

That shouldn't be the case. What kind of device are you using?

1. When in dark mode, using the pagination bar to view the next page of threads returns you to light mode

I cannot reproduce this issue. If you are able to explain in more detail, or take a screencast of it, that may help me diagnose a potential issue.

2. On mobile, user avatars seem half width (or you lose the left hand side of the avatar image)

Yeah, we noticed that it is not optimal and will look to improve.

3. WYSIWYG editor appears to no longer support bulleted/numbered lists

That is weird. Will look into it.

5. Keyword alerts don't appear to have been migrated

Yeah, we switched to a new system, so it didn't migrate. If you need us to reproduce your keyword list, we can go in and find it for you if necessary.

Yeah, I don't think we can reenable the compass, but we will consider other options.


By the way, I've enabled auto dropdown on navbar on mouseover. I will see if that can also be applied to the alerts and conversations icons.

I like the new look danny. Keep up the good work.

I just noticed that the auto-dropdowns are causing the viewport to jump to the top whenever you mouseover. So I will probably have to disable it until we get a fix.

I do like the new static footer in mobile, especially the Inbox and Alerts functionality. Hopefully the new Inbox (name) make it easier for people to figure out how to PM. The inbox icon for mobile isn't quite as identifiable as the icon in the non-mobile view but since it says Inbox under it, there shouldn't be any confusion.

About the alerts on mouse over (pop-up) On the previous TMC version, I got different results on different Win10 machines using same browser (chrome). I never investigated why.

@HankLloydRight it looks like the latest update broke your script for me. It properly hides the already read threads, but it changes the link for all of them to this:

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/watched/threads#

edit: commenting out these two lines seems to have fixed it for me:

lnk.attr("href","#");

That's actually working properly as designed.

The links are converted to javascript links to open in a new tab. In order to accomplish this, the "href" attribute is changed to "#" to prevent the default action. So that's just how the links appear when you hover over them. But they still work. Totally normal and nothing is broken. If you click on the links, it will still work and open in a new tab.

If you leave those two lines commented out, occasionally a different element event handler will capture the click and the thread won't open in a new tab which is inconsistent behavior. So I'd suggest reverting back to the source version or uncommenting out those two lines.

Nope, at least in Microsoft Edge when I clicked the link it opened a new tab with exactly the URL I showed. But I am using the middle mouse button so that it is opened in a new tab and doesn't change the focus to it. (That allows me to open a number of threads quickly and let them load while I read the first one.) Same thing happens if I right click a link and say to open in a new window, it doesn't go to the proper URL.

It was working correctly with the old version of your script even using the middle button...

Thanks for the hard work on the upgrade. Still getting used to things but appreciate the responsiveness to community requests already.

Looking forward to the reaction scores getting fixed so they reflect pre-upgrade activity. Having this score visible on all posts should be helpful in quickly evaluating the gravitas, so to speak, of an unfamiliar poster.

The middle click overrides the click code. Try a regular click instead. Like I said, the old version was inconsistently not opening in a new tab due to overloaded event handlers.

For your specific use case, leave those two lines commented out, but otherwise the script is not broken.

I love the new software!! Much easier and quicker to navigate to the various sections. No complaints here!!

I wrote:
I miss the "popup" at the Alerts at top of the page, when you hover the mouse over the bell-symbol.
Now you have to press the bell-button to see the alerts (and they come in a page, not in a popup).
I use Chrome on a Windows computer.
Sorry for the faulty explanation. I meant that the Alert used to come as a tooltip when I hovered over the bell symbol. That was very convenient. Now I have to press the button, which is not so useful. It's minor inconvenience, but I use it all the time.

Works perfectly on my ipad.

...the dot on the right of alerts identifies which have been read (hollow dot) and which are unread (red dot). The drawback being that if you view one the alarm icon disappears even though you might have many left to view. And if you start at the top of alerts and get interrupted before you view everything you might have a first page of cleared dots but a second, hidden page of uncleared dots. Consequently it is better to start with oldest unread first...

FYI, the dots only appear on mobile. I don't see any visual representation on the desktop alerts as to what has been read.

I still wish the Watched Threads option worked like before and only showed new messages. While Hank's script works great on desktop, I usually use mobile in the evenings and weekends and now I have to scroll past pages of read messages just to find unread ones. If I use New Posts and try to use the filter, it still shows read threads even after I've read them. I gave up trying to use it on mobile last night.

Do people really want to see a list of threads they've already read? I would think most people would just want to see what they haven't read but maybe that's just me.
