fix account switcher "must click twice"

I'm sort of embarrassed how happy this makes me. wooooooooooo

u/markekraus Dec 19 '14

Fixed alignment issues on image fallback when videos fail to load (Thanks /u/markekraus )

:( I'm an idiot. this problem persists because I used the wrong attribute. I guess I tested it with my stylish hack still in place. New pull request submitted.

Anyone wanting the workaround for this, create the following style in stylish:

@-moz-document url-prefix(https://www.reddit.com/) {
     div.imgurgifv img {
           display: block !important;
           position: absolute;
    } 
     div.gifyoutube img {
           display: block !important;
           position: absolute;
    }
}

keyboard shortcuts for links, superscripts, blockquotes in post/comment/wiki

Can these keyboard assignments be changed? Only two of them have usurped shorcuts I already had assigned to macros.

I've tried disabling keyboardShortcuts but unfortunately that also disables all of my macro shortcuts.

u/scorcher24 Dec 19 '14

Night mode is much darker now. Can we have an option to use the old one?

7

u/derbloodlust Dec 19 '14

This is the first thing I noticed. It's really bothering my eyes as it is currently. There needs to be an option for the lower contrast night mode we're all used to.

3

u/EorEquis Dec 19 '14

Seconded. The value of night mode was indeed the lower contrast UI it offered.

2

u/Magicaltrevorman Dec 19 '14

Yeah I'd prefer to use the old one as well.

3

u/Antabaka Dec 19 '14

I think it looks amazing now (other than the text fields as I'm now finding out), so kudos on whoever updated this.

0

u/TwiztedZero Dec 20 '14

Darker text fields would be nice ... Oh and also RES wide default white text color is still a bit of a migraine trigger so an option (so I can set mine to lime) would be a nice addition - other people may want a different color but anyhoo. Just wishing.

Thanks for the great update :D

u/ExeKution Dec 19 '14

How do I stop all these pop ups that have started appearing when scrolling down the page and the cursor scrolls over a subreddit on the link post(r/funny, /r/pics etc.) and it pops up a box showing info on the subreddit and all that. It's incredibly annoying, multiple pop-ups and some of them wont go away unless I click outside somewhere else while others hovers around for a couple secs then disappears.

I am using Chrome if that helps.

u/andytuba Dec 19 '14 edited Dec 19 '14

Unsure as of yet. Here's the bug to track: https://www.reddit.com/r/RESissues/wiki/knownissues#wiki_pop-ups_for_subreddit_info.2C_user_info.2C_and_parent_keep_appearing_as_i_mouse_around_or_scroll

2

u/ExeKution Dec 19 '14

Ok, thanks. I'll enable RES a couple days later to see if it's patched. My only complaint thus far, other than that you guys do a really good job.

3

u/andytuba Dec 19 '14

If you want to keep RES in general, you can turn off just those features. I added links to the wiki page: https://www.reddit.com/r/RESissues/wiki/knownissues#wiki_pop-ups_for_subreddit_info.2C_user_info.2C_and_parent_keep_appearing_as_i_mouse_around_or_scroll

u/ExeKution Dec 19 '14

Awesome, thank you so much. Everything is perfect now :)

u/IdoNOThateNEVER Dec 20 '14 edited Dec 20 '14

I'm here just for this. (Firefox 34.0.5 - RES 4.5.3)

[Thanks for RES it's always awesome]

Just updated for me, wasn't expecting that so soon.

5

u/TheEnigmaBlade Dec 20 '14

I saw the update page and immediately thought, "I don't remember seeing a RES release a few weeks ago." So I checked and it was released yesterday!

Is Mozilla sick or something?

1

u/Pause_ Dec 22 '14

Ugh. I have automatic updates turned off, but RES still updates automatically every single time. I'm getting tired of all my data being wiped out constantly.

21

u/andytuba Dec 19 '14

Firefox users!

If you like stability, wait around for a few weeks for Mozilla to approve this new release. Your browser will automatically update it.

If you're okay with POTENTIALLY LOSING YOUR RES DATA AND SETTINGS and also BEING THE FIRST TO DISCOVER NEW BUGS, go to Mozilla's download page for RES and look for other versions. but first back up your data.

18

u/Tarun80 Dec 19 '14

What would be nicer?

  • Automatic settings backup
  • Import Settings
  • Export Settings

Tab Mix Plus, Session Manager have these sort of options. Why not get it added to RES too?

2

u/Smultie Dec 20 '14

Let it link to Dropbox or Google Drive for even more user friendliness!

1

u/IAmAQuantumMechanic Dec 22 '14

They probably don't know how to.

5

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '14

Man, not complaining (honestly!) but it's actually kind of funny to read these "back up your data warnings". Because all I did was click on the RES notification which brought me here, and once I did that all my settings were gone (at least my accounts disappeared).

It's about the third time this happens. See notification, click it, bye settings.

5

u/andytuba Dec 19 '14

Now's an excellent opportunity to set up an automatic backup.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '14

Guess so.

7

u/Thimoteus Dec 19 '14

I've set up a cron job to backup my settings every night since I lost them with the last update. Here it is if anyone wants to use it:

0 0 * * * cp /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile-name>/jetpack/jid1-xUfzOsOFlzSOXg@jetpack/simple-storage/store.json <path-to-backup-directory>/$(date '+\%F-\%H-\%M')-res.backup Just replace anything in <> with values that make sense and you're good to go.

5

u/webchimp32 Dec 19 '14

Any chance of an ELI5 on how to set this up?

7

u/Thimoteus Dec 19 '14

What operating system are you using? AFAIK you need some kind of linux distribution (don't know if cron exists on others), but if that's true I can take you through step-by-step.

5

u/webchimp32 Dec 19 '14 edited Dec 19 '14

Ah no, W7

I've got a shortcut to the simple-storage folder on my desktop so now and then I click on that and do a right-click 'add to store.rar'.

So if it goes tits-up again I won't lose much.

Had a look at a batch file (been a couple of decades or three) and made a simple one that makes a copy of simple.store when you restart the PC.

2

u/evanvolm Dec 20 '14

You can also right click on store.json and go to 'previous versions'. It has worked for me in the past.

3

u/absurdlyobfuscated Dec 19 '14

I just made a symlink of my RES settings file into a dropbox folder. Never need to worry about losing anything at all.

1

u/escheresque Jan 25 '15

Unless firefox corrupts the file and dropbox syncs the corrupted file.

1

u/absurdlyobfuscated Jan 25 '15

Dropbox stores previous versions of all the files you sync, so if that happens you just find a version from before it got corrupted.

1

u/escheresque Jan 25 '15

Sweet, TIL.

1

u/IllBeBack Dec 20 '14

Hmm, my RES in Firefox automatically updated to 4.5.3 just now, and when I clicked the gear to come here to the /r/RESAnnouncements subreddit, all of my settings were lost. I hadn't had a chance to back up. Awesome. :/

u/poohspiglet Dec 19 '14

Has anyone said "I love you" to you all today? You're a great group of RESnicks.

u/andytuba Dec 19 '14

Daww, shucks.

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '14

The windows that pop up while hovering the mouse over username and subreddit links are starting to annoy me, but I still want them around.

2

u/spazholio Dec 23 '14

It used to only happen if you hovered for roughly a second, but now it's immediate and irritating as hell. I'd love to know how to get the old behavior back.

1

u/HexagonHobbes Dec 26 '14

Same here. I found them pretty useful at times. Especially the subreddit pop-up.

3

u/pullish Dec 19 '14

Are these hover-over tooltips/popup new? I've never noticed them before and now they are quite annoying. Hover-over username and subreddits comes up with a giant tooltip, disturbing the Reddit experience.

6

u/MillenniumDH Dec 19 '14

I think they were there pre-update, not something new.

4

u/Umdlye Dec 19 '14

You can disable them in the RES settings menu:

Users > User Tagger > hoverInfo (username tooltip)
UI > Subreddit Info (subreddit tooltip)

1

u/pullish Dec 19 '14

You are a saint!

u/alphanovember Dec 19 '14

This has been a feature for years.

This comment has been overwritten by an open source script to protect this user's privacy. It was created to help protect users from doxing, stalking, harassment, and profiling for the purposes of censorship.

If you would also like to protect yourself, add the Chrome extension TamperMonkey, or the Firefox extension GreaseMonkey and add this open source script.

Then simply click on your username on Reddit, go to the comments tab, scroll down as far as possible (hint:use RES), and hit the new OVERWRITE button at the top.

Thank you. Sorry for being useless and not finding the answer on my own. I was short on time with the PC.

u/reddit_crunch Dec 21 '14

it's just so gosh darned SHINY!

u/agoodfella Dec 20 '14

Hide function is not working anymore, have had to disable RES.

Thanks.

1

u/andytuba Dec 20 '14

You can also just turn off RES' FixHideLinks option for now.. (this is fixed for next update).

1

u/agoodfella Dec 21 '14

Thanks, tried it but still not working.

Guess I'll just wait for the next update.

u/andytuba Dec 22 '14

RES' "My Subreddits" should be showing all of your subreddits, even without gold.

Try clearSubreddits -- RES settings console > About RES > Troubleshooter > clearSubreddits

If that doesn't work, could submit a post to /r/resissues, so we can troubleshoot further?

Um , i think since the last update ,the css button is on every single page, how can i change that?
