I've released another version of the forum enhancer
I've rewritten a large portion of the enhancer. I've made it very easy to change the layout of the forums. Hopefully, by the next version, I'll add some custom styles in.
Changes ----------
* Rewrite to use templates for thread view - No longer uses tables in thread view! * Tweaks in the user box in thread view * Shorter post heading * Dates in thread view are in the users time zone - And are displayed relative to the current time.
Known regressions -------------------- * No disable images/links at present
I was hoping that some of you people could find more bugs! |

| Where could I find your enhancer? And what browser/system/blah is it for? |

| I've put together a page which allows you to design your own forum layout. Have a look at it [on jsFiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/Eric/EbY8h/). You can edit the top two boxes, and push "Run" to see the result in the bottom right. |

Thanks.
Presumably you've seen the syntax highlighting? Here's a snippet from the source code to show you:
data = breadcrumb.find('nobr a').map(function() { var item = { name: $(this).text(), href: $(this).attr('href') }; var maxLength = 40; if(item.name.length > maxLength) item.name = item.name.substring(0, maxLength - 3) + '...'; return item; }).get(); |

| Wait, so how exactly do I do this? I'm not good with scripting so I'm confused on that page... |

"I'm not good with scripting" Then you shouldn't be in this forum.
Anyway I noticed it doesn't show the actual time posted. If you are going to take that out and replace it with "X Minutes ago" I suggest you put the "X Minutes ago" where the date posted was.

If you're not good at scripting, that page isn't for you. That's for people to develop new forum styles, that I may incorporate into the extensions at a later date. It requires knownledge of CSS, HTML, and small amounts of (deprecated) jQuery templating.
Presumably, you know how to install the enhancer, right? |

| @Mitch: Not sure what you mean. If you hover over the "X Minutes ago", you get a full timestamp. |

Oh ok, didn't notice that. But one thing I did notice is that it does not show primary groups, and there is a empty space about 100 pixels deep under "Total pots: X" for some posts.

| I had a problem before where if my post was blocked by floodcheck and I pressed the back button the "message" field would be empty, has this been fixed? If so I will reinstall |

You're right. Give yourself a cookie for finding the first bug. |

Just noticed that the empty sapce is normal. It just stretches it to the end of the users post. So its not a bug, I've just been away from the forums to long. Also I'm going to get a cookie now :)

You won't find the install button on that developer page.
Go to the Google Chrome Extension Gallery, and search for "Roblox Forum Enhancer". You'll find the install link there. |

@Ninja
That's the best guide on the wiki in my opinion. You probably won't understand it all in one go, you'll want to try it a little bit at a time, since it's a lot to take in. There are a couple things that aren't very good about it, but it taught me. |

One more thing is that links to the wiki with an underscore in them, if it has 2 then it replaces the underscore's with nothing and makes the text between them italics. This could be fixed by detecting if there is 'www' before it and no spaces within the link.

| That's a known bug. I'm not too sure how to fix that though. I want to add automatic link detection, but the markdown parser is all too much of a black box. |

This enhancer is like butter for my eyes.
Is there any way you could change the MyForums page? Make it look cleaner or even make it possible to block threads from showing up on it?
Now I see this, you could probably just scroll through suggestions forum and get so many amazing features for this |
