Nya-chan:

Not mine. I end up liking FF more than this. At least Ssamba takes the time to build her characters before throwing them in a relationship, even if some plot devices are weak (overhearing conversations much?).

If you're going to add names like that for quotes you should consider using the userscript I made to automate that task. (As well as a few other things.)

If you'd like your userscript added to the OP, just make a post about it in the thread.


All userscripts require Tampermonkey to use, both for Chrome and Firefox.


Dynasty Thingifier (Author: Alice Cheshire)

Adds a lot of general options for the forums.


Dynasty Gallery Viewer (Author: cyricc)

This is a userscript that allows you to browse images on this site much more easily using a modal image viewer with next/previous buttons, similar to Instagram et al.


Dynasty Mark Read (Author: cyricc)

This is a userscript that greys out chapters marked as Read when viewing chapter lists.


Dynasty Title Rethingifier (Author: Alice Cheshire)
This user script simply changes up how titles are ordered.

Dynasty Tagifier (Author: gwennie-chan)
Last updated: September 17, 2020

Features

Forum Tagger

Forum Tagger scans forum posts and image comments looking for Tag objects, checks if the tags are valid, and, if so, turns them into clickable links to each tag's page. (If you have the script installed, this Yuri tag should be linked.)
(For the nerds, it does this dynamically pulling and parsing Dynasty's JSON and then scanning all <code> elements.)

Tag Suggestions Switcher (TSS)

TSS puts a controller bar on the tag suggestions status page (link requires account) so users can select the type of tag suggestions (Approved, Rejected, or Pending) the page displays, whether a single type, a mixture, or all of them.

Forum Stats Number Shortener (FSNS)

FSNS converts the stats numbers on the Forum navigation pages for views and posts to automatically shorten, round anything over 1000 and insert the appropriate abbreviation ("K" or "M") after the shortened number.


Dynasty Tag Hider (Author: cyricc)

Allows you to hide tags that you choose, preventing them from being displayed on all chapter listings. Some tags can be rather spoilery in nature so this helps with avoiding that. Currently only tags that appear on the Tags page can be hidden (i.e. not doujins or pairings). This functionality may be added in the future.

This is not a tag blacklister. It only hides tags from being shown in the tag list of a chapter or series.

I've done a fair bit of work on this today. I managed to get Greasemonkey to cooperate so now it's not using cookies to store stuff. I also setup a menu which will have different options. Currently there's only two enabled options in it. The first allows you to store your user id into the script's storage which then gives you a link to your own post history in the menu afterwards. The second one is a clear data button in case you need to reset to the default settings or need to change the user id you entered. The menu's pop-up state will also save between pages so if you minimize it then it will stay minimized until you click it again. For anyone that uses it you'll notice that there's disabled entries for items that I mentioned above. After completing the first three of those (and maybe the one for the font size slider) I'll probably make a separate thread for this.

Ignore this part. I'm using it to work on the spoilers option.

I think the bride is a hitch and selfish if she really loved her friend she would have fought harder for their love, but I guess she didn't love her truelly like she said. The friend should find herself a girlfriend and the bride that she can do better and find a better person and love.

Or as people have said repeatedly throughout the thread she did it for strong cultural reasons. Whether you agree with that culture or not is a different matter altogether but that doesn't make what she said a lie.

Thanks for the info!

No problem.

If you think about it, there could be a bunch of front-end enhancements that could be done to the forums.

My crappy bookmarklet to unhide spoilers could be one of them, except the script would add a button on the page itself.

This is totally something that could be done with this userscript eventually. Unhiding spoilers would actually be a pretty easy one in itself since the userscript already makes use of jQuery. Adding a button for it would be the trickiest part and I'll have a look at adding in some sort of pop-up menu thing for it when I look into adding more stuff to it. I have a Stylish stylesheet I've been using for awhile that does that as well as making the navbar fixed to the top of the screen. Those as well as something regarding font size (which is the reason I made a Stylish stylesheet the first place, I have atrocious vision, lol) could definitely be something that could be done pretty easily. Especially since I already have the script setup to utilize cookies so it could save your settings.

Edit:

Originally from this thread.

Bookmarklet to unhide all spoilers on the page

Create a new bookmark on your browser's bookmark toolbar, and put this as the URL of the bookmark:

javascript:(function(){$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers').css('background','lightgray');})();
This removes the black highlighting and replaces it with light gray highlighting.

javascript:(function(){$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers');})();
This only removes the black highlighting. (You won't be able to tell what used to be marked as spoilers.)

Now, you essentially have a 'button' on the bookmark toolbar
such that when you click on it, it will unhide the spoilers on the current page.

Rather than removing the spoilers class I'd probably just have it modify it so that they could easily be re-enabled without reloading the page. Also I just thought of one other thing this script could be useful for. It could add some formatting stuff to the posting screen as well as the quick reply box at the bottom of the page. That one would definitely be more tricky to get working properly however. But it's still a goal we can add to the to-do list.

Coincidentally that's the same post that gave me the idea to try. And I'm using cookies to store the information between pages after retrieving the quoted user's name using jQuery. I was originally trying to use Greasemonkey's GM_setValue and GM_getValue commands but they wouldn't cooperate. (The @exclude function wasn't cooperating either for some reason so I had to use some hacky regex to stop it from working on the posts?user_id=### page too.) And it's definitely a work in progress because I'm not terribly experienced at all with javascript.

Edit: Coincidentally at the moment it's not even working for me on this page. That's odd.
Edit again: Found and fixed. I mistyped something and managed to overlook it. Updated version has been uploaded to Greasyfork too.

I make a thing that people might find useful. It's a Greasmonkey script that converts a post's timestamp into a link that will link directly to that post. In addition when you quote a post it will automatically insert the user's name and post link above the quoted text.

Probably not very pretty but it works on my end. If you want to make use of this script you'll need Tampermonkey on Chrome/Opera and Greasemonkey on Fireox.

No? Probably not, haven't heard of him so.

Figured as much but I'd been curious for awhile, lol.

For the MariAli game you should play the first one too, since they're kind of connected (plus Alice has a crush on Marisa in those)

True, but the first one is also far more difficult. It's one of the very few games that the LPer whose videos I linked never beat. He was able to beat both Nitroid and Trap Tower including their secret worlds but ended up dropping MariAri on the last level after weeks of no progress.

Edit: Speaking of that lper does this happen to be the same Telamon from his forums?

If you like platformers you should try Nitroid. It's fairly difficult and heavily puzzle based (and pretty heavily platformer based in the secret world too) but it's actually quite decent in my opinion other than a few flaws. There's also Marisa and Alice's Trap Tower which is along the same lines. (And by the same dev team too.) It's a bit more polished mechanically than Nitroid.

Edit: Right, this forum doesn't use bbcode, lol.

I must resist the pure cuteness

You should stop trying to do the impossible.

I always forget I have to read left to right, then I realise at the end and I have to read the chapter again >.<

I tend to only remember when the pages start making very little sense. Though this time I managed to remember on the second page for once.

(not much of a story after that if it stays away from friendship-is-magic acceptance from the peers);

The most realistic way of handling that is probably to have the group Shiina was a part of mostly not accept them (especially that really bitchy one whose name I can't be bothered to remember) but most others not really care one way or the other.

Pretty sure that also happens in Gokujou Drops.

That one may actually be it. I haven't read it in awhile so I can't be sure but I read over the summary on the series entry page and it seemed like what I was thinking of.

It's fairly easy to extrapolate on that chapter and see that it probably ended up alright eventually but I can't help but feel that it really needed at least one more chapter to end things on a more solid note. It ends up feeling like it was wrapping things up then the author just decided that was enough randomly.

Kind of a popular theme in manga/anime to be honest. Though I do know Crossed Hearts (sequel thing?) is going down that route now, but I doubt that. Then there is always Blank but that was amnesia. And another one where person got injured in freak space accident and an alien pretends to be her for a year or something. But yeah... There are a couple "forgetful" people.

It's definitely not Blank or Watashi no Taisetsu na Tomodachi (the alien one) that I'm thinking of and I haven't read Crossed Hearts yet. I suppose it is an oddly common occurrence though now that you mention it.

I'm never following any link ever again.

Especially not links tagged lolis crushing futa balls. Should have seen that one coming though, to be fair, but not so... red.

I can't see anything possibly going wrong with that.

Plot twist: Hana is the former friend but she forgot

Ah hell. This reminded me of a manga I read at some point where something kinda like that actually happens but I can't for the life of me remember what it is or really any details. All I remember is that of the two characters only one remembers being friends or something when they were very young and they're waiting for the other person to remember it. I remember them getting kinda impatient about it too though I don't recall if they revealed it to the other person or not.

I am crying, and smiling, and laughing, and I have the hiccups, and I just sneezed... weird combination.

That sounds like it'd probably be a little bit painful.

Like this?

Automated complaint systems are definitely easily abusable. That one though is just hilarious. A clear example of one of the big issues with these sort of systems though.

Didn't the article say that "third party" people could file the complaint instead? Although I'm not sure whether the mangaka have the final say in whether that complaint goes anywhere.

Allowing third party complaints allows a lot of room for abuse such as what Youtube suffers extremely often. And not giving the copyright holder the final say in the matter is flat out moronic no matter how you look at it since the point of copyrights is to allow the creator control over their creation. Not giving them the final say with complaints is taking away that same control.

I really don't know where this is coming from, don't know much about Alice, even tho she is in a lot of em.

I'm not the most familiar with the series but after looking up the Shinki character it looks like this is based on what's thought to be a non-canon depiction of Alice in the earlier games.

Alice was a resident of Makai during the PC-98 era. Due to Alice living in the Forest of Magic in the Windows era, the relationship between Shinki and Alice Margatroid is never directly addressed. It's unclear whether Alice was created by Shinki, was a normal magician who moved to Makai, or if her origins have been retconned by the Windows games. Hieda no Akyuu states in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense that Alice is a former human who turned into a youkai.

Quoted from here.
