Hey,

Okay. I think I fixed the every other comment thing now.
I haven't yet got another Unresponsive Script warning, so it should be good.

Thanks for your input.

Also from time to time I get an "Unresponsive script" error and have to disable the script. Right now it's disabled until you get a chance to look into it.

Thanks for fixing it. But now on mine it shows every other comment, but the names of the people commenting me are proper. Like, say I have 6 comments from A B C D E F .. It'll show A's name on B's comment, C's name on D's comment, E's name on F's comment, but won't show A, C, or E's comments.. it's weird. I hope that explanation helps.

Fixed. MySpace made some useless code changes that messed up how the comments were being read.

Anyways, it should work now.

Not working for me, either.

My comments aren't showing up lately. Always says "No comments to display." even when I know I have new comments. Anyone else or any ideas?

Thanks, Seifer.

I haven't worked on this script for a while now, but the comment thing would be really handy. Thanks for helping out.

Hi there RunningBlind
I hadn't used your script since May 19 ... It's a lot faster now :)

I'm pretty sure I could get something worked out to allow posting comments without the confirmation page.
I'll give it a go and let you know :)

Success! Thanks. Your scripts are awesome.

Okay, so when I wrote the line to find the friendId, I never made accommodations for changes in the left column. The script looks for the first occurrence of a friendId and uses that. Of course, if this script runs after Customize it!, its reading from the new, customized left column, which may contain other friendIds before your own. You can't run any scripts after Customize it!, so the alternative would be for me not to be so lazy.

replace

friendId = $('#col1').html().match(/friendid=(\d+)/i)[1];

with

friendId = $('#displayimage a').attr('href').match(/friendid=(\d+)/)[1];

Let me know if it works, and if it does I'll update the script; otherwise we'll try again. This line should instead look for your display image and its link and read the id from there. Even if you don't have your profile image showing with Customize it!, luckily Seifer doesn't actually remove it; Customize it! only makes it invisible.

Thanks.

I'm getting my friend's comments, too. It was working fine until this morning for some reason.
I would use the quick fix you mentioned below, but my sister uses this computer as well, and then she would be getting my comments.
I think I've narrowed it down to Seifer's 'Customize It!' as the cause.
Any ideas on an alternative fix?

 
RunningBlind Script's Author

okay. i'm glad that worked.

I could make the script to hit the confirm button, but the problem arises when users require captcha verification, those funny letters you have to read and type. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem.

I actually prefer the old reply link, because I would just open it in a new tab so I'd never really leave the homepage.

hey js wondering.. with trying to bypass the confirm comment page, could u js customise ur script so that when that page comes up it automatically submits it.. instead of actually bypassing the page? coz if u could you could make it return to the homepage after that as well, so it would be just like a long load time to send the comment.
just a thought

 
insanedarksh... User

um.. australian country/time settings? but anyways that fixed it much appreciated, now that it works its an awesome script :D

 
RunningBlind Script's Author

that's really weird. are you using a different language/country setting? that might mess with it.

well, in any case, just change

friendId = $('#col1').html().match(/friendid=(\d+)/i)[1];

to

friendId = '123456678'

to match your friendId. you shouldn't have to mess with the GM_xmlhttpRequest link if you do that.

 
insanedarksh... User

i also tried 2 change the web adress at:
GM_xmlhttpRequest({ method: 'GET', url:
to my specific ID rather than + friendID + Token and tried with and without a token.. but it just wouldnt start the script at all when i reloaded the page.. im probly missing something so if u want u can js help me make the code work for only my ID, coz im the only one thats had this problem apparently.
anways thanx in advance

 
insanedarksh... User

hey running blind, ur script is giving me my friends comments... i dont get it. i've uninstalled it and reintalled, coz i thought i'd deleted something important but it still did it, and i erased my net cache coz id bin on his page earlier, but that didnt do anything either... a little help?
p.s it was working to start with

 
tylerness User

i think you might be able to solve the confirmation problem by making to like the AJAX Mail script which lets you see the message on the same screen as the list of messages. it'd be cool if you made it a pop up box tho instead of a frame.

 
Merite User

Heyy the new reply form is exactly what i wanted for this script, thanks! Its a shame about the confirmation though, hope u find a way round it!

Keep up the good work! =)

 
d0ntstop User

My favorite script :)

 
Merite User

It would be great if you could make these changes! They will, in my opinion, make this script one of the best out there by far! Keep us posted on your progress =)

Thanks!!

@merite

absolutely, that would be possible; i actually built a version like that while i was away, but i sadly forgot to save it to my thumb drive. i can do it again, i'm sure.

i'm working a few edits a my other scripts, but this will definitely be on my list of priorities.

i think i know what you mean; just like a small popup box. that's really easy actually, i'll get it done.

thanks.

 
Merite User

Could it be possible to add a coment box to this so that you can reply to your friends without leaving the homepage? I am not a scriptwrighter yet so i am not sure if it is possible but i was thinking something similar to the new status update where a little box appears?
