@blkout!

I use PicLens, but with it you can't see comments or anything like that. I would add a button to launch the album in PicLens, but that button would be useless to people not using it.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've been away and can't really fix the script at the present moment.

I know its annoying, but I'm at a library computer right now.

I'll definately get it fixed as soon as possible, though.

@InsaneNinja

Thanks for the comment, and sorry it took a while to respond. I'm away from home for a while.

Anyways, here it goes. The new photos thing wouldn't be that hard, just ineffcient because the script reads from an xml file that doesn't include that information. The xml just loads faster than each individual photo page. It wouldn't be horrible to just wait until everything is done, then go back and see if the photo is new.

I haven't used DTA!, but it clearly should be implemented. Do the links have to be located anywhere specific, or is the bottom of the page fine? Also, does each link need to be styled to be hidden, or can i just stick em all in a hidden div element?

The small-medium-larger thing is a brillant idea. I guess its just hard for me to think like a non-geek. lol.

And I'd like to think that a revert button wouldn't be necessary, but there are always those cases.

Thanks for everything, I will definately get these into the next version as soon as I can.

Thanks for the feedback.

For the first issue you mentioned, I think I found an okay compromise: by using the small-sized images instead of the medium ones, the thumbnails can stay in a grid pattern as well as not lose much to cropping. I know that several times the cropping can be awkward.

Here's a preview. Tell me what you think.

as opposed to [current]

As for the second issue, the script might only be able to retrieve "new photo" information from the first page, but it would be handy nonetheless.

Thanks again.

@Seifer

Thanks for the compatibility, I think you're script is easier to conform to than Customize It.

I've already added the linkback change on my own version. After I quickly finish some visual changes (new myspace themes) I'll go ahead and update.

I've noticed that the script can significantly slow things down. I've made a temporary solution for fixing this, but its nothing extraordinary. My own version updates every thirty seconds and uses several timeout functions instead of an interval. Other than that, I'll definitely work on it. If you find anything, let me know.

Thanks.

To search through the comments, the script would have to bring up each individual comment page for each photo, which would take quite a while. Unless there's some secret xml database for photo comments the script can access, searching through them is not practical.

Note that the script doesn't look for comments until you select a photo. Otherwise, looking for all the comments would be a bit too request-heavy.

It hasn't been working for tagged photos since 1.6. That particular update sped up finding the pictures, but sacrificed compatibility with tagged photos. I'd right another part for tagged photos, but it doesn't seem too practical because you can't see the people who've been "tagged".

It's also not getting names at all. Weird...

@Brandonbray

That's really weird. The pattern is predictable though, I'm getting every other comment, i.e. its skipping the odd-numbered ones.

It's probably just a change they made to the coding, I'll definitely try for a fix.

Thanks

@lawrence
I still don't have a capitable version for Customize It; I think Customize It would have to change to allow my script.

@Chris
I'm not sure how the script would change anything on comment.myspace.com; I don't think the blinking cursor appears even with greasemonkey disabled. Thanks for the compliments, though.

@question
I'm going to guess you've already figured that the control panels duplication is caused by Auto-Update.

@Chris
The latest version now allows to disable videos with the showVideos variable at the beginning of the script. Thanks, let me know if it helps with your problem.

@lawrence

A Customize It compatibility would be awesome. thanks for the suggestion. I'll work on it when i can, though -- I'm a bit busy right now.

@georgie

It looks like you have two versions of the script installed (1.7 and one prior to 1.6.2).

Just open up the greasemonkey script module and look to see if MySpace - Enhanced Photos shows up twice.

There's now a temporary fix for the comment approval -- it's not exactly very efficient right now.

Still working on reply thing.

Thanks, guys.

@Brandonbray
I don't think there is a way to find that out, but it'd be nice to include in a later update if its possible.

@M0rph3u5

Thanks for pointing that out; I wouldn't have noticed because I don't have my privacy settings to require comment approval.

I'm working on a fix.

@CstrzRock

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely try to get that to work.

No problem. Sorry for it being unclear to begin with. I'll post a preview image with details soon.

Message status is indicated by the images on the far left of each message. In the image the first message is unread, the second read, and the third replied.

Updated with delete checkboxes, but does not yet include delete links within the messages themselves.

Would you happen to be using another language or country setting for MySpace?

I designed the relative dates part around the default U.S. time format, which I think is the only setting with that format.

I updated to fix that, if it were your case.

The other scripts shouldn't have any effect on retrieving the comments. If you're still have this problem go ahead and go to your comments page (where the script looks) at http://comment.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction...

I've found that this doesn't always load completely, which would explain why the comments don't show up on the homepage.

Interestingly, I've also found that if you're linked to the comments page with a MyToken parameter in the url, it usually loads when thelink without the MyToken doesn't.

I'll go ahead and update with the MyToken in there.

@Bloody_Angel & zilch42

I've had that problem before a few times, but every time it did, I also couldn't view comments from the regular page. Oddly, though, if you add the myoken parameter to the url it works. I could use that in the next release.

@Bloody_Angel

I don't believe there's any well to tell if a comment has been read, unless the user specifically marks it so. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to implement, but I honestly like the last three system better. I might put it in a future release, though, but an option set to false by default.

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I don't believe it's possible.

I'm pretty sure the only way you can rotate images in JavaScript is to use IE filters or switch out the image for another that's already rotated.

Unfortunately the first method won't work in Firefox and the second won't work because the script cannot save the image in its rotate forms.

If I find a solution, I'd definitely want to use it on this script, but until then you'll just have to turn your head to the side. :D
