@rchern what's this thing you've been working on?

rchern

@Jin, there are 2 userscripts, one for the sites and one for the chats

Jin

what do they do?

rchern

the readme lists info for both if you scroll down github.com/rchern/StackExchangeScripts

the one for chat adds /commands instead of requiring the mouse

and @TimStone added code so you can navigate with the keyboard also

Jin

ha you'll eventually convert this chat to IRC...

rchern

hehehe

for example if i want to switch to the chat feedback room i type /switch feed and hit enter (:

and the one for the sites adds a timeline link to the post menu for questions, makes comment timestamps a link to the comment, and maybe adds an audit link to get to /reputation

have you seen the Firefox Addon someone made for the Askubuntu site? it's pretty neat

A: 'Apps' for Ask Ubuntu

I'm proud to announce the first askubuntu.com extension, developed for Firefox. The extension, called AskUbuntu Add-on, allows to easily track user info and questions. This extension displays user reputation and badges in the toolbar, provides an easy access menu to unanswered questions , use...

rchern

seems silly to do it specifically for AU, what's wrong with StackApps and things that work with all the sites?

Jin

yeah i wish it's for every site.

rchern

ah, they did post it on SA. i posted a comment asking about it working with any site

here, let me link to it using my user script (; stackapps.com/questions/1699/…

not that i use firefox anyway (;

Jin

i'm stuck with FF only for Firebug

I can't get used to Chrome's devtool

rchern

I wish it had FireQuery

slyly switches back from qwerty to dvorak mode

other than that it seems pretty good

Tim Stone

8:32 PM

I feel like Chrome's devtool is ahead of Firebug in a few ways, although to me, they're both missing key features.

returns from Sim City..ing

rchern

such as?

Tim Stone

This whole nonsense about not giving me the option to set breakpoints in any meaningful way on obfuscated JavaScript really irks me.

Well, rather minified JavaScript, the obfuscation has nothing to do with that.

rchern

hehe, was just saying that (;

Tim Stone

I appear to be having another one of those slow days, heh.

But yeah, I don't get why it can't tidy things up for you automatically.

rchern

@TimStone, what do you think about adding this to the site user.js?

44 mins ago, by rchern

$("#hlinks-user .reputation-score").parent().after("<a href='/reputation'>(audit)</a>")

Jin

8:37 PM

note to self: tell jeff to change html ids just to mess with @rchern

wait that'd break my css, nevermind

radp

epiclogon.ytmnd.com

rchern

@Jin LOL

Tim Stone

@rchern I don't see any strong argument against it. I guess it's not a commonly used feature, but where else would you turn when you needed it?

@Jin Hm, we'll have to become more crafty with our selectors then.. :P

rchern

@Jin, at least you realized it now rather than after the publish (;

Q: What is the copper, silver and gold next to peoples name?

What is their use? Is there something on this site I can buy to pimp my account? I'm kind of lost on this one, hope it's the right place to ask this question. Thanks in advance.

support

Ahahaha

Rep whores and pimped accounts, what has SO come to... shakes head

Jin

8:44 PM

"Guess I have played a little too much WoW lately"

we should tell him about the Epic Mount at 1million rep and watch him grind

radp

it's the StackExchange™ AwesomeBooster PremiumWaffles™ program!

rchern

holy shittakes. i'm less than one upvote away from being rep capped on SO. there's a first.

radp

Getting five million reps has never been this easier!

Jin

couldn't resist, commented.

radp

@rchern let me help you with that

rchern

8:50 PM

thanks for the downvote on the wrong site (;

Tim Stone

Hah :P

rchern

hehe, actually it reminded me to edit the answer, so thanks ROFL

sepp2k

Heh, I just got Mortarboard on meta...

rchern

\o/

sepp2k

(by which I mean, I just passed 200 for the day - the badge hasn't arrived yet)

rchern

9:02 PM

it is just 200 not capped

radp

@rchern darn! :D

aha, @PopularDemand balanced it out (:

Popular Demand

@rchern Huh, actually I didn't know about that earlier discussion at the time, but glad I could help.

@radp When you post a YouTube video of a chicken, you don't need a follow-up comment unless it is related.

rchern

ok, i can understand the video, but adding music to it ruins it.

radp

@rchern the juxtaposition is the point of the video.

9:28 PM

weird

@TimStone - That's what the path looks like. No matter what directory it's from.

@rchern - Yes. It's very odd that it worked only a few days ago. I wonder what changed.

@rchern You say it works for you though?

rchern

@PeterAjtai, no it doesn't. i thought you were getting the error in the browse dialog

ie, you clicked browse and it tried to load c:\fakepath

but i can repro the issue that once you select a valid path+image, c:\fakepath is inserted

(on chrome dev)

what browser did you say you're on?

Peter Ajtai

@rchern - No. I can browse my files when normal, but when I select one it shows as fakepath, no matter the folder.

rchern

9:38 PM

chrome, but which channel?

Peter Ajtai

@rchern - Oh ok. So the image uploader is completely broken.

Yi Jiang

No repro on Firefox 3.6, Ubuntu. Weird...

Peter Ajtai

7.0.517.41

@YiJiang - So the image uploader works for you?

rchern

@PeterAjtai, search around and see what you can find?

Yi Jiang

@PeterAjtai It shows the correct path and uploads correctly, yes

Well, just the file name. The full path isn't shown

Peter Ajtai

9:40 PM

@YiJiang - I'll try it in FF.

Yi Jiang

The chat uploader should be the same as the questions one

Dexter

I just tried the image uploader using Chrome 8.0.552.0 and it showed the fakepath.

rchern

same for me but .11 (:

Peter Ajtai

Funny. The imageuploader works fine in FF on windows. Just Chrome has the issue.

Yi Jiang

Looks like some sort of ugly workaround.

rchern

9:44 PM

yeah it is a chrome issue, not SO

Peter Ajtai

@rchern - Can you go back to old versions of Chrome? I'd want to try that to test it... anyway made a meta thread ==> meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/68471/…

hrm, I need a MSO duplicate of this:

Q: Awarding a bounty to myself

I noticed that I had the button to award a bounty even on my own answer, so I couldn't resist and awarded the bounty to myself, just to see what happens. The result is that the bounty is awarded, but I did not get any reputation for myself. It makes sense that you don't get reputation for your o...

the best I can find is this, but it was during the old bounty days.

Q: I just awarded myself a bounty

Something weird just happened, I awarded myself the bounty for http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1195/create-a-tag-homepage-faq And now my wonderful 50 point bounty is totally gone, nowhere to see My expected behavio[u]r was: I started a bounty for a question that is not mine I happene...

Tim Stone

11:05 PM

Hm, I got thrown to the all rooms page from every room...

Michael Mrozek

Did you click "leave (all)"? :)

Tim Stone

No, I wasn't here. :P

Tim Stone

11:18 PM

It also happened on both sites..hm.

rchern

cue twilight zone theme song...

Tim Stone

Yeah, really. Weird stuff..

Michael Mrozek

looks at mods and waits for them to kick @TimStone again

Tim Stone

Kicking me while I'm down, I see how it is.

rchern

Tim Stone

11:45 PM

Hm, one place that Firebug beats Chrome dev tools...If I print out a DOM node, they both print out the same text, but in Firebug the text is a link to the element in the DOM tab, which it doesn't seem to be in Chrome?

Tim Stone

11:56 PM

Anyway, as far as the fakepath issues goes, there are several ways to fix it, but I'm not sure what the best one is.

Oh, Peter already reported it anyway

This is what happens when I leave. :P

Popular Demand

@TimStone What, Michael Mrozek makes fun of you? That happens no matter what.

Tim Stone

Hahah
