Nope, doesn't seem to update at all anymore. I dunno if it's just me, but doesn't update at all.

All up at the moment:
* www > UP
* orz : tmp > UP
* zip : bin > UP
* img : dat > UP
* cgi : nov > UP
* rs > UP
* dis > UP

And the script still doesn't work.

working for me. Are you using latest version? If not, do you have "Run Scripts" disabled?

Yes using the latest version, so Run Scripts is disabled by default.
Using Firefox 3.0.6
turned off all other greasemonkey scripts to see if it was any of them causing the problem, but it still doesn't work.

Although when a thread 404's the title changes to THREAD DIED, so that's working, it just doesn't actually refresh and show new posts.

It also does not work for me.
Threads do not update and the Run Scripts is disabled by default.
I'm using the most stable version of Firefox (3.0.5 I believe).

same thing here

That error is probably related but Greasemonkey debugging is terrible so no telling where in the script that came from.

I've got an idea how to reimplement Run Scripts without the hack that will probably fix this issue as well but I don't have much time at the momemnt to work on it.

I'd say revert to an older version til I get time to figure it out. I'm not sure which version the bug was introduced since they all work for me.

I've installed every past version and none of them work for me other than the thread dying. I tested the threads on another computer to see if no one was posting or if the script was failing. >_>;

Which is weird since this script did work for me in the past.

Does the original updater work for you? http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24099

If 4chan changed their reply headers so that if-modified always returns unmodified, you'd see something like this. (No updates but still shows "thread died")

Doesn't explain why it still works for me though.

This script works: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/29339

but it also breaks all the other 4chan scripts I have installed too, such as backwash, expand all images,
when all images are expanded and the page refreshes, it thumbnails them again. Which is annoying as before if you expanded an image in the thread and the page reloaded the image would still be expanded when it auto refreshed the page.

The script drdeath posted works.

The other and 4shadow don't for some reason.

Are you using 4chan extension? Try turning it off as well.

Try removing all 4shadow (and other updater prefs) from prefs.js, maybe there's something messed up in the settings.

Ok, turning off the 4chan extension makes this script work! :)
The only problem is now the images don't expand in the thread, they load in a new window which is annoying.

Oh and it also breaks the /b/ackwash inlined script, when you go to a thread and it updates automatically the posts with a >> (a quote of another post) works when you mouse over it, it shows the box with there post in it. But every automatically loaded post with a quote to a post in it doesn't show the little box with the post in it.
Then if I refresh the page, all the posts with a quote to another post in it works properly with /b/ackwash, and then when the page automatically loads again when something new has been posted any new post with a quote when you mouse over it, doesn't show the box with the quoted post.

Should be easy enough to fix at least.

Yeah, that's what the "Run Scripts" option fixed. Fixing Run Scripts is going to require a completely new approach since 4chan doesn't redirect dat.4chan.org back to img.4chan.org anymore.

Ok, I think I found the problem. (right next to a comment I left for myself telling me to test it with 4chan ext before releasing a new version). Give the latest a try with 4chan updater and see if that fixes.

The script now works for me with the 4chan ext. enabled.

Yeah works with the 4chan extension now.

But backwash script and loading images in the same thread are still an issue.

backwash won't work with 4shadow again until I fix the run scripts option
 
Feb 11, 2009 4:26pm
nick2009 Scriptwright

Would it be possible for you to add an option to automatically maximize the new images in the thread when the page is updated ?

aren't there other scripts that do that? I'd rather just get 'Run Scripts' working again and let other scripts handle those kind of things.
