I don't know, I just don't see any logic of going direct to the last post of a discussion thread if you didn't read the discussion...
Well you're not going to be required to use the buttons or anything so it's not a huge deal overall.
Anyway, I tried the zoom again, changing % is working no, but I put at 100% and instead of showing the original size it just shows the size you're already seing, it don't change the scale at 100%.
Yep, I've noticed that. I have a few ideas on how to fix it but it'll take a bunch of testing so it's going to have to wait since I'm not going to do anything other than bugfixes for the time being until I've finished cleaning this chapter for Kawaii and stop procrastinating on a level submission for a collaborative project I joined on another forum to button things up and get it submitted finally.
Also I'm starting to locally document my to-do list rather than just using the thread and keeping better track of what changes I'm making. You can see my plans and current notes on the future of the script here.
It's so weird too, I'm re-reading all her stuff (except Fragments of Love, I want to wait until it's all translated to read all at once) and the great majority is fun stuff with good ends. FoL had a disappointing ending, but it wasn't a bad story. The Irrational Us one-shot, the one about the couple breaking up when one moves away and Tragic Love Story are all downers, but that's pretty much the lot. Game has a good end, KiLa KiLa has a good end, My Beloved has a good end in an unexpected way, Chouchou Nannan has a good end, and so forth. Yeah, sometimes the couples have to work for their happiness, but they still end up happy in the great majority of her work.
Junk/Jewel is no exception. It actually fits in really well with some of the stuff in Seasons, I think.
I'd personally say that other than the ones you mentioned the others are no more drama-filled than most yuri mangas. And a lot of the time even if there is any real drama it tends to be fairly short lived.
Only one page of angst from Takemiya Jin?! A new record!!
It's comments like these that make me wonder if people actually read her stuff.
takemiya, is it really you??? No drama, no angst..? ARIGATOU SENPAI!
This too.
Like phatboisteez hinted at, one drama-filled manga = 100% of her work somehow, lol.
I'm not a fan either of jealousyand it makes me want to roll my eyes when characters get kissed and later claim it happened too fast and they couldn't stop it. Yeah riiiight. XD
IMO, Mew could have stopped Ploy from kissing her. Because even if Mew didn't initiate the kiss, she still let it happen and so she did cheat on poor Donut :(
There is such a thing as being too shocked to react quickly. It's pretty obvious she actually didn't want the kiss and was getting tired of P'loy's crap so it's really not cheating.
I would have far less patience with P'loy than P'mew and Donut have. There is no reason for her to be so obnoxious and thankless about everything. She show a bit more gratitude that P'mew is even helping her in the first place.
Yes it's a compilation. From our release post:
The first “chapter” (“Iroha ~Promise~) came out in December 2008, when she’d been making yuri doujinshi for nearly two years, and this collection was released in May 2009, two months after she’d debuted in Yuri Hime.
Ah, thanks. Normally I actually read your release posts but for whatever reason the thought didn't even cross my mind so I missed that, lol.

Does this mean there's actually more to this one before this or does it say that because this was a compilation of everything for t his story put together?
So if I understand correctly, when it's ready it'll take you to the last post even in unread threads? But the problem is that if you do that all unread posts will be marked as read even if you didn't read them, technically you don't need to read any post as just opening the page already marks as read any unread post it have, so I think Last Post button should take to the last post only after you read all unread posts, at least I feel it's a little useless to take us to the last post if you didn't read all unread posts before it first... I used the words post and read so much that it's starting to sound confusing.
I don't think we're really on the same page here then. There's no point at all in a last posts button if it doesn't take you to the last post in a thread. And while you may not have a use for it there's actually no reason to not include the last post link for unread threads as well once I've fixed the way it works. Most forums actually do have a link to the last post in a thread even if it's one with unread posts anyways.
Yeah I noticed, now the size is good and it's closing properly.
I more properly fixed the size now for larger resolutions. Though anything above 1440p I think will still have the issue I was originally talking about. (Still visible either way however and looks just fine for resolutions ranging from 768-1440px in height. Either way the issue with it looking a bit cut off above 1440p due to its positioning is a moot point since it'll be replaced with the dropdown deal later on.) Positioning elements can be a real pain sometimes when you have to worry about a wide range of screen sizes. Zoom factor should now properly work now as well.
If I try to Quick Reply/Quote someone else it don't quote that person, I thought that maybe if I cancelled it first it would quote the next person I tried Quick Quote but didn't make difference, Cancel Post works perfectly, it's the same issue I mentioned before about Chrome bitching with Quick Quote.
Ah, right. I still haven't looked into that one yet so it's unfortunately still going to be a problem for now. I have it on my to-do list for the script however.
Yeah I noticed that, it's how I noticed my list of valid types was not showing everything, at first I actually didn't notice there was others size types since the only way to make the list appear is if you blank it first so I thought everything was okay, at first I thought the valid size list was just explaining what those things were and didn't pay much attention to it, only when I noticed zoom factor was not working and tried to make it work that I finally noticed I had more size types to try.
Once I figure out how to deal with a proper dropdown this won't be an issue. I have however fixed the info pane's position for now for resolutions down to at least 768px high. (Though I just realized that in the process I've made it look weird on resolutions above ~1180px tall but you can still see it completely in all cases that I tested.)
So when you fix Last Post it'll also take you to the first unread post in a thread? Maybe make that the name change from Last Post to Unread Posts, First Unread Post or something like that? Of course it's obvious there's unread posts because the thread name is in bold but might be good to make it change Last Post name too.
Nah, the current way it works is that it uses the unread posts link but for threads you've completely read. It's basically a really easy way to get to the last page of a thread so that the last post link can actually take you to the last post in the thread. When I fix it up I'll be properly retrieving the last page of the thread instead of using that easier method which will allow the link to work for unread threads as well.
Also in addition to the info pane's location being fixed(ish, lol) like I mentioned above the magnifier menu will now actually close if you close the main menu. I haven't fixed the zoom factor yet though because I spaced it until just now.
Personally, I think it is not cheating if the partner truly doesn't mind. There are pretty open kinds of relationships. I agree however that most people have a similar feeling on when it is cheating.
I wouldn't consider it not cheating personally. In that instance I would just consider that the person's partner is okay with it. Though that's more just an argument of semantics than anything since the end result is really identical either way.
Just tried it, Cancel Button worked but didn't make the Quick Quote work for me, not really an important issue since that happens only for me so don't worry, I would probably not use that much anyway so better leave to fix that after more important updates
What do you mean by that? I'm not noticing any issues with it myself so it may be another Chrome specific issue unfortunately. I do need more info so I know what exactly I'll need to add to my list fr Chrome specific fixes though.
I found only three problems in Magnifier:
- Valid Size Types is too long as a list so I can't see everything, maybe make it a square;
I should make it scale according to screen height but currently I just have a maximum height set for it. (And I have a really large monitor so I can easily see all of it.) I had started working on that a bit then got distracted by someone and moved on, lol. Whoops!
Also a note: If you blank out the size type field then double click it you should get a drop down list of all valid types. 
This is something I'd like to change a bit in the future actually. I just need to look into how to do a proper drop-down box is all.
- If you have Magnifier customization menu open and close the script main menu then Magnifier customization menu stays open, but that makes the customisation menu go up in the screen making possible to read the rest of the Valid Size Types;
Ah, I know what the issue is here. It's an oversight on my part. I forgot to include a check for the magnifier menu when toggling the main menu.
- Seens like Zoom Factor is not working, I tried to put in 100% to scale to the original size but it don't change, I tried others % but don't make any difference, maybe it's Chrome bitching again so if that's the case you can also leave this fix for later as I would not use this function much either.
Just tested this and verified that it's actually not working. I'm probably failing to actually set the zoom factor variable somewhere along the lines even though I thought I was. I'll have a look at that.
I tried to change the zoom square/circle size and it seens all Valid Size Types are working so I think that's all problems left with Magnifier and the script.
Yeah, definitely something I missed on my end. I actually completely forgot to check that the zoom factor was working due to an issue with loading the correct values for the other bits distracting me from it.
Something that I thought only now, Last Post button is to take just to the last post in a thread or it's also to take to the first unread post? Because when a thread have unread posts Last Post button don't shows up, only after reading all new posts that you can see and use it again.
This is due to the way the last post button currently works. It uses the same link that would normally take you to the first unread post. When I fix the last post button in the future though I'll make it so it exists for threads with unread posts as well.
it also depends on what you consider cheating, there are different views (kissing, sex or maybe already the fact that she met him in secret).
I think cheating is a fairly objective thing. It'd be anything romantic or sexual done with someone other than your partner. (I think having a subjective definition of cheating is kinda dumb anyways. My ex-stepmother considered giving a guy a blowjob not cheating which is blatantly false in the eyes of like 99.9% of the populace.)
Alrighty. I think I got this update out without issues. I buttoned up the magnifier customization menu, added a quick reply cancel button, changed the formatting of quote links to what was discussed on the previous page, and fixed a couple of settings bugs I noticed with the clear settings button where it actually didn't clear the magnifier's enabled status nor the font size set through the slider.
If everything is fine then the next major update I'll be working on is the bookmarked threads one but I'm not going to start on it for awhile because I have other stuff I need to get around to doing. I will be fixing any bugs that pop up in the mean time however.

Sometimes I use Dynasty more on my phone so that's not really a problem for me, so don't worry about it, there's no hurry at all, and for the Last Post problem I don't think that will really be an issue, a thread rarely stay with exactly 25 posts in a page, from what I remember that's how much fits in one, so that should be a really rare ocurrence, so no hurry for that either.
Chrome is still one of the most popular web browsers so it is something I do want to look into and try to fix or work around. I just can't guarantee when or if I can fix the issue right now since it's a fairly odd one. It's the same issue Firefox users had a few updates ago but I fixed it for Firefox so I'm not sure why Chrome still has the same issue. Thankfully I at least have some ideas of where to start thanks to having to figure it out for Firefox.
And yeah, the last post deal isn't too big a problem, that's why I'm not prioritizing fixing it. It is something I'd like to fix eventually though just for the sake of the script having fewer issues and quirks people will inevitably have to deal with.
Nevri posted:
Post goes here.Much better
.
I agree with you two, second one seens better.
Alright. It's a really easy change so I'll add it into the magnifier customization menu update along with the quick reply cancel button.
Tried clean stored data and still won't work, I also removed the script and installed again and didn't make any difference, it's late already and my internet is getting faster and also didn't make difference, I also had to remove Tampermonkey and install it again some time ago so I doubt he's the problem, I use Chrome so I guess that's the issue, I used Firefox in the past but after I started using Chrome I never got back to it.
Hm. I just installed Chrome so I could test it and it does indeed have the issue you're saying. I'll have to look into what the issue is but I'm honestly not sure what it could be right now. so I wouldn't expect a fix terribly soon unfortunately.
Another issue I found by accident, What Does the Fox Say discussion thread have exactly 1300 posts, 52 pages, when I used Last Post button it tried to open page 53 that don't exist so it don't load any post, all it shows is the pages numbers and the Quick Reply box.
This one is going to be a quirk with Dynasty itself. I'm going to hazard a guess that whatever the method they use behind the scenes for the unread thread links ends up considering there to be one more page than there actually is when the actual last page is perfectly full. (For reference the way the last post link currently works is that it uses the unread posts link for read threads which just takes you to the last page of the thread.)
There's a few ways I can work around this. There's a more future-proofed method where I can just retrieve the last page off the forums and manually embed it in the last post link but this one will take more work, especially since I'd need to handle it a bit differently with one page threads. The other way is that I can add a check for an empty page after you've clicked the link and if so then bump you back a page and do the normal thing for the last post link. This latter one will most likely be easier though it would involve two page loads.
I'll probably go with the first way since it's the better way but since it'll take longer it's not going to be something I fix immediately. Since it's an issue that probably won't commonly pop up I'll likely fix it when I start work on the bookmarked threads update.
I use Firefox as well. Assuming I'm up to date (thingifier update today once, not sure if it has all changes you did so far) as I said before, quoting works fine now. All the issues I had before, are fixed. So far I didn't notice anything off. Will report once I do.
Alright, seems like most people who I know use it are using the same browser then. And there's been three updates today. The main bugfix, another one a bit later with some stuff I overlooked in the initial bugfix (plus one mistake on my end for the bugfix), then a reversion for one of the bugfixes that made things worse. Only the first of those affected quick quote however.
Edit: Also which quote method looks better?
The one the script uses now:

or this one:

I'm a bit more partial to the second one since it more closely emulates standard forum quote links and also makes it a little bit more clear that it links to the post you're quoting.

Hum, my internet is 15mb but only more or less near midnight or 23:00 that it start's to be really good, waited some time and still didn't load the quoted post, I'll try again later when my internet is at full speed to see if makes any difference, we need to know if others have the same issue to.
If it persists you may try the "clear stored data" button and seeing if that fixes it. If it still persists after that and no one else is reporting it then it's unlikely to be something on the script's side.
And for reference what browser do you use? I use Firefox and don't have an issue like that and I know Serenata uses Firefox as well and hasn't reported a similar issue.
Also Nevri, if you see this post would you mind letting me know what browser you use and if you've encountered a similar issue? There's nothing that I know of that shouldn't work in Chrome/Opera Next, especially since much of the script uses jQuery which is supposed to be browser agnostic, but there's always the chance that there is something somewhere that doesn't work as intended in other browsers.
About my sugestions on Quick Reply/Quote the only one that really makes difference is something for multiple quotes, the rest are just some extra things that could be nice but nothing really necessary or that would make any big difference, few people is using the script and it's not like we're going to keep editing and need to look at preview all the time so it's probably better to just not bother if it needs too much work, maybe just Cancel Post button so the Quick Reply/Quote window won't stay in the middle of the page if you decide to give up on you reply.
Multiquoting is something I do want to do. It's going to take some doing though to not make a total mess of the formatting. The cancel post button though should be easy enough to include though. I should be able to manage that pretty easily when I work on integrating the magnifier customization menu tomorrow.
About out of focus on Magnifier I meant something like this but it's pretty slightly, most people might not even notice if they have that problem, maybe it's my Chrome bitching about the focus and scale so it's better to wait until you make the customization menu as it will probably fix any issue I have
Ah, I understand what you mean now. That happens because when you zoom in like that what you're seeing is getting scaled up. Any zoom factor above 100% (the magnifier defaults to 500% which can't be changed without manually editing the script until the customization menu is released) is going to have that issue. Browsers will only do bilinear resizing or, with some work (which I've been messing with but so far I seem to have failed at getting it to cooperate), nearest neighbor resizing. Both those methods will result in upscaled stuff looking worse than if it's at 100% zoom. It definitely isn't something I'll be considering trying until later but I have been loosely looking into replacing the current magnifier with an html5 canvas instead which would allow me to look into different resizing algorithms but that's getting into some pretty advanced stuff and would basically require me to recode the magnifier from scratch so it'd definitely take a fair bit of time.
This was actually strange timing to post, lol. I'd just come in and edited my previous post with some minor bugfix info.
Just tested it and everything seens to be working perfectly except Magnifier and Quick Quote:
- I tried Magnifier again in some mangas and the zoom scale is still too big;
This one will probably remain an issue for you until the magnifier customization menu is added which will hopefully be tomorrow sometime.
- What Do You Like About Her? seens to be the only one scaling properly and it's not stretching/squeezing anymore, but even though it scales correctly it seens that if you don't stop the zoom in the right point or keep moving it in the image it becomes slightly out of focus, maybe that's expected in zooming functions;
I'm actually not at all sure what you mean here. It seems to be scaling properly for all images for me now and not just the one you linked. I'm also unsure what you mean for it being out of focus.
- I noticed that Quick Reply/Quote are working fine but if you change your mind and decide to Quick Quote someone else it just move an empty Quick Reply window bellow the new person instead of quoting them.
Hm, I don't seem to be having this issue. If I quote you then move up and quote myself, for example, it will move the quick reply box and fill it with the correct post info. How fast is your internet? There's a possibility that the request is timing out. Or if you're not waiting long enough then you may not be giving it enough time to load the post since the quick reply button is loading a new page in the background then retrieving the info you need from it.
The aiming seens to be working correctly now and Z don't become useless anymore, I have four sugestions to Quick Reply/Quote:
- A Cancel Post button at the right of Preview Post button when you Quick Quite somone, that could also be a way to fix the problem of not quoting other person if you change your mind and decide to quote someone else as you could first cancel it;
For the quick reply? This is something that has come to mind before actually. I just keep spacing it. I'll add it to my to-do list for the script though.
- If possible make the Preview Post work in Quick Reply/Quote? Or make a Quick Preview Post button? I always hated that Preview Post take us to another window, specially because the preview don't shows the text in the same size as in the post because their lines have different size;
This one is probably possible but it's definitely going to take quite a bit of work to get it to cooperate since it would involve loading the preview window in the background then retrieving the correct data from that page and inserting it into the current page.
- A Quick Edit Post button so you don't need to go to another window just to make a small correction;
This will be much like the preview post button. It should be doable but it'll be a fair amount of work so it's definitely not coming soon.
- A way to quote muitple people? Maybe a button that would copy the person post or part of it as a quote so you could paste in your reply.
This is also something I've already planned on doing but haven't gotten around to. I'll add this stuff to my to-do list but anything other than the post cancel button for quick reply is unlikely to come until after I've released the magnifier customization menu update.
Edit: Just found another bug that was introduced by the post link fix I posted about with my initial bug fix today. It appears that somewhere the post id for the post link is getting set incorrectly from somewhere. I'll need to figure that out.
Edit2: I went ahead and reverted that fix since after reverting it on my copy I was unable to reproduce the original issue I was having that made me try that fix in the first place.

Fixed the last post button which was just as easy as I figured it'd be (actually slightly easier) and in the process of it noticed another bug that reared its head. Some change I made at some point apparently broke post links so that's fixed now too.
Looks like I got the quote to quick reply deal fixed as well. I'm not entirely sure what actually changed along the way to break it but for some reason it simply wasn't saving your setting after clicking it. The move quick reply issue was actually caused by this one too. I forgot that it relies on this option being enabled in the first place since it's an otherwise moot point.
For the magnifier I got the issue with interfering on pages the magnifier shouldn't even be active on fixed. As I thought I forgot to do a check for the correct page for it. The stretched zoom deal should be fixed, though it does have a slight side effect that I wasn't really able to work around at the moment. I had two working solutions. One doesn't zoom in as far as it should while the other zooms in properly but the location it's zoomed in on is WAY off. I went with the first solution for the time being since it at least zooms at the right spot. I also fixed the Z issue on image comments. (Just needed to add a check on that page to make sure the comment reply box wasn't active.)
I believe that's all the actual bugs. Let me know if you notice anything else!
Edit: Fixed a few minor issues with the last update. The last post link only worked for the first link because of how I was handling it but it works properly now. I also needed to add a check for the search bar on chapter and image pages while the magnifier is enabled so you can actually type Z's into it.
And the magnifier customization menu is unlikely to come today but I'm going to try to wrap it up tomorrow as long as no more bugs pop up in the mean time. After that I'm probably going to take a break, other than for bugfixes, until after I've cleaned the chapter I was assigned for Kawaii Scans and one other thing I need to stop procrastinating on (so probably a couple of weeks) before starting work on the bookmarked threads update.

Is there any intuitive way to get info about a thread? (Ie: When the last post was.) A feature I'm planning for my userscript for the site will allow people to bookmark threads but there's no way I can think of to get info on the thread without having to load it in the background and grab the last post time manually (which would quickly get to be a crap load of data to be loading on each page, though I'm already considering making it check for updates only every 5 minutes or so anyways) or just checking through the first 2-3 pages of the forums and seeing if any of the bookmarked threads fall on those pages and if so getting the info.
Edit: Also is there anything that would allow me to get the user's id so they don't have to enter it into the script themselves?

I've only been up like 15 minutes so forgive me if this ends up being kinda incomprehensible, lol.
Since english is not my native language I was not sure how exactly to express myself in this part and I ended up forgeting to say I was talking about the magnifier, the customization menu you're planning do what I have in mind so you can ignore this part of my post.
Alrighty, that's good then.
The bookmark also do what I had in mind for threads but it could have a problem, nothing really serious though but all data related to threads you bookmarked will be saved in the browser/script instead of being saved in Dynasty right? So if something happened to the person browser/pc and she loses all information on it she would also lose all her bookmaked threads right? So maybe a way to create a import/export file if the person want to have a backup of all threads they bookmarked? Or maybe make that the bookmarked threads data get saved as a list? But of course not much people use this script and I doubt those who use will bookmark much threads, so you should probably ignore this.
Doing it as a list could be a problem. I'm not sure how well automating the task in the background would work and it opens up the possibility of messing up someone's lists if I screw up somewhere. It also wouldn't allow you to bookmark threads that aren't part for a manga.
An export option may be a good idea, though I'd need to deal with the import option as well which will take some work. Though the way I'm dealing with settings (and thus the bookmarked threads as well) may be able to persist after your browser gets screwed up at least since they're saved in Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey's own settings database file which is totally separate from your browser's standard storage. However I have absolutely no idea where that database file is stored.
One thing I forgot to ask, maybe it's a dumb question but what exactly "Clear stored data" cleans? I don't remember seen you talking about it and I didn't want to try it to see what would happen...
It just clears out all your saved settings then reloads the page. (It basically resets the script to the default settings.) That way if something gets set incorrectly due to a glitch you can reset everything to help deal with the glitchy bit.
I was testing this too... I thought the link would take me to the last unread message but all it does it take me to the last page, but we have the pages (1,2,3,4...) number right next to it so I found it meaningless. But if I pass the mouse over the button it says that it will take me to the Last /Unread message.
So I tried reading a random topic up to certain page and then go out leaving some unread new messages, by doing this the "Last Post" button doesn't shows up so I think that's a problem or maybe we're not understanding it's function.
Nah, this one was kinda a complete brain fart on my end. I actually got so in the habit of immediately hitting the end key on my keyboard after clicking the last page of a thread that when I realized that using the unread link on a read thread takes you to the last page I would unconsciously hit the end key. It's something I should be able to fairly easily fix however. Just involves saving an internal variable to the settings when you click the last post link then when it loads a page, if that variable is set, it'll look for the last post on the page and take you to it.
Also sorry about my english, and of course thanks for keeping this up, is really helpful! don't push yourself if it takes too much time, the improvements so far are very good
No problem. I've actually been having fun coding the script. (Though you wouldn't guess it if you hear how much time I spend cursing at my computer or myself for a simple mistake, lol.)
Going to split this so it's a bit easier to read. I won't be able to get around to any fixes today though because I'll be going to bed like right after this post. (Which took like 20-25 minutes to even write, lol. Whoops!)
Some issues I found:
- "Last post" just goes to the last page instead of last post;
This is actually a bit of a communication error on my part. Though I should be able to make it actually go to the last page with some work. Should actually be a fairly simple fix though.
- "Quote to quick reply instead of new post page" is not working at all, won't even stay marked;
Hm, I'm not sure what the issue is without looking but it seems I missed this due to not resetting my own saved settings between updates. I'll need to make sure to remember to do that in the future when I'm testing the script before release.
- "Move quick reply to under quoted post" stay marked but does nothing;
It looks like for these last two there's an error (probably a typo I overlooked or something like that) somewhere in the load or save code for the settings.
- You made "Magnifier" so you don't need to resize right? I tried it in some mangas that have resize and the zoom is scalling bigger than the original size so they lose quality and end up not being much good, in What Do You Like About Her? they became squeezed too;
Ah, I know what the issue is on it getting stretched. It's how I'm getting the resolution of the image for the magnifier. I think I know what to do to fix that one fairly easily. (Edit: As a bit of an afterthought: If you're worried about image quality then once I release the update that introduces the magnifier's customization menu you should try setting the zoom factor to 100%. That will make the zoom function basically at the best quality it's capable of functioning at. Anything over 100% is going to be lower quality simply because we're upsizing the image at that point. And browsers don't really allow for a whole lot of leeway in how they scale things.)
- Z becomes useless to anything else as long as "Magnifier" is activated.
I actually only just noticed this one when I tried to type "squeezed" above. I know more or less why this is happening. Just need to figure out exactly where it's happening. The magnifier stuff shouldn't activate anywhere other than
http://dynasty-scans.com/images/numbers
and
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/chaptername
though this issue did also make me realize it will interfere with commenting on images as well which I'll need to find a workaround for.
A few suggestions:
- Some images are small and don't need resize, it's rare but sometimes because of that they have small text that is hard to read, so if possible a way that the zoom scale up only those images and in those that have resize show their original size instead?;
I'm not entirely certain I understand what you mean. You're asking for an option that only allows resizing if the image is scaled down already? If that's what you're asking then it should be doable. It'll just take some work to figure out exactly how I should go about it.
- I think the zoom area is a little small, maybe make it bigger? Maybe the zoom area be a square instead of a circle would be better? And with the zoom are being bigger maybe that could resolve a little the innacurate aim problem?;
Currently the magnifier is set but in the future there's actually going to be a settings menu that will allow you to set these options yourself. Right now it's set to 25% of the vertical height of your view on the page. (With a minimum size of 256px.) You can see a work in progress preview of the menu here (keep in mind that preview doesn't actually do anything yet) and it actually includes the square option you requested. I actually had planned on making the magnifier customizable from the beginning but since both parts were a fairly big job I decided to split it into two updates. I need to fix up the styling for the info pane that pops up and then work on actually integrating the changes into the userscript which could take awhile. I'm not sure exactly when this will come since I'll be prioritizing the current bugs over a new update but if things go well I should be able to get this out along with the bugfixes tomorrow.
- Maybe it's not possible but a way to show all threads with unread posts first? Sometimes we don't have time or are not in the mood to read all threads with new posts and leave them for later, but end up forgetting about them after they're out of the front page and then weeks pass and you can't even find them anymore.
This sounds like you'd actually be interested in the next major update I'm planning after the magnifier's customization menu. It'll allow you to bookmark threads you want to keep track of. The only issue with it is that in order to have it keep track of new posts I'm going to have to do something similar to the quick reply which relies on loading a page in the background which is something I'd like to avoid as much as possible because it increases the load on Dynasty's servers (quick reply is an exception here since quick reply just loads the quote page in the background and retrieves the information from it for you so it's no more server load than you'd otherwise get) so I'd very likely limit it to only searching for post info on the front page of the forums. (Bookmarked threads would still be in the bookmarks list, they just wouldn't have info on the latest posts is all.)
Edit: I also just thought of something else I could do along with bookmarked threads. While it would still require you to change between pages so it could function I could actually make it so that if you bookmark a thread then when you load the forum view it will search for threads you've bookmarked and move them to the top of the forum. (And probably color them different to make it clear they're bookmarked threads.) That would be completely doable though it might take awhile to get it working. Rearranging elements already on a page can be a bit messy and complicated at times.
I think I'm forgetting something... The rest seens to be working perfectly and it's really useful, thanks for the script Alice Cheshire.
No problem. I'm glad people are finding it useful.
Completely unrelated but you're guy or girl? Don't really need to say if you don't want, just curious~~
I'm a girl.

Looks like it's probably not here due to it being licensed.
Just fixed a bug I happened to notice. The "last post" link I was adding to the forum view was only working properly for threads with multiple pages due to an oversight on my end, lol. It's fixed now though and there was a few other minor formatting changes that I was saving for the next major update that ended up in this version since my local copy already had them implemented. It's mostly just moving the stylesheet back to the script itself rather than my server since I found out about a fairly new type of string in javascript that any browser that can use my script should already support which allows me to just type the stylesheet out normally the way I did when it was a separate file. (Which was the most major reason I moved it to a separate file in the first place.)
I tested quoting and everything is working perfectly now. Thanks again <3
No problem!
I always get to read this and feel sad because I know there won't be any sequel.
I dunno that it really needs one though. It was a fairly conclusive ending. Not saying I wouldn't like to see more of it of course, just that more doesn't feel necessary here.
