Yet another 4chan Updater clone. It does pretty much what all the others do but it is configurable via a dialog you can open by control-clicking the "Updater" button in the lower right-hand corner. This will let you set update interval and a few other settings. I'll add all the prefs in there eventually.

It's kind of beta at this point. Let me know if you find bugs or have ideas for improvement.

I'll be updating it often in the coming weeks and once I get to a good stopping point I'll probably give it back to Chris to roll into the original project.

NOTE: Run Scripts was broken by server-side changes at 4chan.

Version History

7.0

The redirection hack I was relying on to do 'Run Scripts' has been changed on 4chans' servers. 'Run Scripts' is disabled until I figure out a workaround.

6.0

Added status messages to the popup reply form. No more ugly alert dialogs.
Added missing @include so submit feedback works again.

5.0

Added ability to ajax submit replies so page doesn't need reload. This is a bit half-baked at the moment. Known issues: Can't switch back to non ajax submit in prefs without reloading. Moves submit form into popup instead of cloning and optionally leaving the regular submit form (though I prefer not to waste screen space on the regular form anymore). Needs some kind of "submitting..." animation. Failed submit feedback goes into an alert dialog which is gross. It's a work in progress so feel free to provide feedback...
Fixed logging broken by newer Firebug
Fixed memory leak in 'Run Scripts' iframe loading.
