Bug fixed. Just noticed it myself on http://digg.com/world_news/Rare_Footage_of_Flig...

The fix was as simple as changing "ol;" to "ol = false" in a for loop.

Whoops, new problem. Seems that all of the replies are nested under one comment, instead of under the comments they're supposed to be under.

Oh sorry, my carriage return comment made no sense.

Adding a carriage return between the @username (#xxxxxx) and the start of entering your message might make the output cleaner, especially for those not using this script.

 
Nougat User

Bug fixed - great!

 
Nougat User

Having the script add a carriage return between the @username (#xxxxxx) might make messages less cluttered and more readable to those who aren't using this script.

@Babcock: it's not that intrusive, really.

Also, yes, I am still seeing the same symptoms I originally reported with the new script installed.

I'm still seeing the same bug Nougat posted.

It's a great idea, but unfortunately, really annoying for non-Grease-Monkey users. Instead of traction, it's building irritation. Why not just make a feature request to the Digg admins? It seems like a good preference option, and would work better if incorporated into the system, rather than just adding random numbers to people's posts (hint: it's only pretty if you're using it.)

Let's say I reply to a top level comment. Then other people reply *after* I do. My reply is shown at the *end* of the list of replies to that top level comment, and if someone else who's not using this script replies *to* me *after* me, then their reply is shown *before* mine.

It's a tad confusing. But I love this script and I will continue to use it happily. I comment a lot, and I think people are starting to notice the comment numbers in the posts, so you might be getting some traction soon.

It should arrive in your inbox shortly.

Could you send me the [quote] changes at pile0nades__@__gmail__.__com (remove underscores)?

 
Sami Samhuri Scriptwright

I modified your script to add [quote] links as well (20 lines). If you're interested in the changes let me know and I'll send them to you somehow.

I like yours better so I am using it now. It's faster. :)

Ok well this is something I had wanted to do, so thanks!

I was trying similar stuff here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7860

but your code is much leaner. Well done.

You're right about that, so I've updated the script to use the format "@username (#xxxxxx)" which looks much better. This is what people without the script will see. The number will be hidden when it is linkified so just the @username is visible.

 
Derrek User

This is a great idea, however digg users have their own way of doing it. @username

so I was thinking instead of inserting >>xxxxxx for everyone to see just replace the post with the user name.

I'm just wondering if people will find the linked numbers annoying... maybe you can keep it linking back to the post just replace the text.
