Twitter last read marker

By ArmEagle Last update Dec 18, 2011 — Installed 900 times.


Script Summary: Lets you mark tweets as read and simply go back to the last read tweet.

- Dec 18 2011: Marking all read would not work if the top tweet was a retweet.
- Dec 14 2011: Twitter updated the website. Script now works again, with the mark read link (and button) at the very top. Also works on the different sections of the Connect tab.
- Oct 30 2010: Fixed an issue with the 'max 100 inserts' message being inserted at the wrong position (that text is inserted in the timeline to prevent an 'infinite' loop, after 100 tweets have been loaded during automatic scrolling - to last read tweet - and all tweets have been new so far).
- Oct 23 2010: Another small fix. Scrolling to the last read Tweet wouldn't always end up where you'd expect it to (because of retweets). (Also added in a different style for marked tweets suggested by Annyella, edit the source to try that one. Or you can of course set your own style; see 'AEG.CSSreadStyle')
- Oct 4 2010: Small fix, bad copy-paste resulted in setting mark to fail when the last tweet was a retweet.
- Updated for NewTwitter (removed @reply link popup functionality since that's part of #NewTwitter now).

Adds a link to the tab list menu "Last Read", when clicking that, the page will scroll down till the last read tweet is found. To the right side on the new tab is an icon, clicking that will mark all (visible) tweets as read and stores that.

Whenever read tweets are loaded and displayed they will be marked (background color changed).
