Script Summary: Various enhancements for Zoklet.net. Includes larger images on mouseover username hide. Will add more features in the future.
Current Version: 2.0
This is the brand new version of Zoklet++. Most new functions, both present and in the future, will now only be supported for the Greasemonkey add-on.
Zoklet++ still uses mostly CSS to implement page modifications. Unfortunately, Greasemonkey does not load CSS as fast as the Stylish add-on. Because of this, the modifications often don't appear until after the page is loaded. As a work-around, you can use the Zoklet++ Lite v1.3 style sheet with the Stylish add-on in conjunction with this Greasemonkey script. However, this is purely optional. Still, this is how I have it set up.
Zoklet++ Lite for Stylish can be found here: http://userstyles.org/styles/24648
FEATURES:
Append Next Page to Thread (NEW 4/13/2010)
--------------------------------
This is the first implementation of javascript in Zoklet++.
If a thread has multiple pages, a button now appears at the bottom of each thread that says "Append Next Page". When clicked, the posts from the next page automatically appear on the current page. This saves time and it's just cool.
Larger images on mouseover
--------------------------
I always find it painful to click on all of the 150x150 thumbnails one by one in a thread with lots of pictures. Now you can simply hover your mouse over a thumbnail and it will become enlarged for easier viewing. Since this is done in CSS, no extra bandwidth or loading time is required since the thumbnail is basically a smaller version of the full image.(because the full image has already been loaded)
This is especially useful in forums like Pics Or It Didn't Happen.
Preserve aspect ratios of images
--------------------------------
Zoklet, by default, resizes all posted images to 200x200 resolution. While this sort of function is essential for preventing page-stretching and clutter, it takes extra CPU power for the server to correctly maintain the aspect ratio of the images. As a result, all images appear in 1:1 aspect ratio. With Zoklet++, the aspect ratio of images are corrected on the client-side.
Auto-update notification (NEW 4/13/2010)
--------------------------------
An update notification will now pop up when there is a new version of the script becomes available. The notification has plenty of options which will allow you to hide the notification in case you do not wish to update.
Username hide
--------------------------
I've already had problems in the past with family and friends finding out my identity on Zoklet by looking to my computer monitor. This is because your username is present in the upper-right corner of all pages on the Zoklet BBS. I got fed up with nosy people looking at my screen and having to switch to another tab to prevent them from seeing my name, so I wrote this style sheet to make the username invisible. That way if someone knows you go on Zoklet, at least they do not know who you are. This can also be useful for when you take screenshots of pages on Zoklet and you don't want your name on the screenshot.
Show visited links in Hot Topics
--------------------------
Sometimes I forget which topics I've already visited, and I tend to like to find new topics. So now with this style sheet, visited topics in the Hot Topics box will now be slightly faded so you know you've already been there.
BUGFIX:
Disappearing Icons / Quoted images (4/13/2010)
--------------------------
For some reason, the IM icons as well as images in quotes became hidden. I fixed that issue by removing the deprecated feature of removing annoying social networking icons, which are no longer a problem.
