Jul 22, 2009 11:20am yah Script's Author	armvdw, Try hitting the F5 key. It'll reload the page and re-set the hosts to be checked. If there is still a problem, open the TCLC preferences in the User Script Commands. Make sure all the hosts are enabled. .. yah.

Jul 24, 2009 5:55pm C00LU5ername User	Didn't do Jack for me either initially. I'd checked that all sites were enabled in the options. Had all other Greasemonkey scripts disabled too (just to be safe). Nadda. What I found was that there are 2 lots of preferences: the "TCLC Preferences" in "User Script Commands", and the "Included Pages" and "Excluded Pages" in "Manage User Scripts". ALL of the hosts you want to check must be in "Included Pages" (get rid of their listing in "Excluded Pages" at the same time), AND AN IDENTICAL LIST must be enabled in "TCLC Preferences." It's this last bit that was causing me problems. If you have sites enabled in "TCLC Preferences" that are not listed in the "Included Pages" box, it can cause all checking to be disabled. To access "TCLC Preferences," the active browser tab must have links to some of the hosts that "The Cavern Links Checker" is gonna be checking. Without this, "User Script Commands" will be greyed out. Hope this resolves your problem.

Jul 24, 2009 9:30pm yah Script's Author	@COOLU5ername, .. The GM exclude function prevents a script from executing when a website is visited. It does NOT affect links on a webpage. The "// @include http://*" line includes every http: page. The exclude lines would only affect pages actual host sites. Since the host sites themselves never list the links, this is never done. So "really" the excludes for the host sites are meaningless. They are left over from an older version but in essence, they do nothing. .. The problem with the script is the way that it handles itself after a fresh install. The GM stored values do not get populated upon initialization. It is a tricky, timing bug that's irritated me and several users. I will get it fixed with the next release, but for now just disabling and then enabling a single host in the preferences will fix the problem as it forces a reload of all the hosts. You accomplished the same thing, but did not need to worry about the excludes/includes it was the preferences. .. Hope this helps, yah.

Aug 12, 2009 12:30am C00LU5ername User	Cheers, that explains a lot. Lastly, could you explain what the purpose of the GreaseMonkey => Manage User Scripts => Included Pages box is? Particularly as there are a lot of sites listed in the TCLC Preferences that don't appear in the Included Pages section at all??? Do they need to? (When experimenting, I've not managed to get sites such as Kewlshare to work at all (whether I list them in one, or both). Thanks again.

Aug 12, 2009 11:47am yah Script's Author	The included pages box lists all the pages that the script will operate on. The line: "http://" means that the script will operate on all webpages where the URL starts with "http://" . The is a wildcard character signifying any string, any length. .. If you can post a few kewlshare links I will look into them. The problem generally means that they have made a webpage change that no longer allows the regular expression string in the script to match. .. Let me know, yah.

Aug 30, 2009 2:57pm C00LU5ername User	Sorry for the delay in responding...IRL stuff. I guess what I was really getting at (rather than anything specific to Kewlshare, or any other site), is what is the difference between sites listed as enabled in TCLC Preferences, and sites listed a "included" in the GreaseMonkey => Manage User Scripts => Included Pages box? Sorry if this is a duh(mb) question, but it's not self-apparent (at least to me). There are a ton of sites listed in the TCLC Prefs, that make no appearance in "Included". Thanks.

Aug 30, 2009 4:15pm yah Script's Author	There ARE some sites excluded from "includes" section. If they aren't needed, they aren't included. If you think they need to be included, please let me know what problems you are having and I'll check into getting them added. .. Thanks, yah.
