Forum Avatars: A Greasemonkey Script
Inspired by this post in the Ideas forum, I gummed together a little Greasemonkey script that adds avatars to forums and group discussions. Try it and let me know what you think!

- Brilliant! This is a great script! I love it! >:D
-
Love the script, though the alignment gets weird in Chrome [screenshot].
Thanks for making this :) - I agree with stars, but it doesn't get in the way, thanks GJ :D
- Heh, that's actually the way I intended it! That way you can still see whether it's a staff post.
- Smart
-
Haha, fair enough :) I just felt like everything was shifted down!
I'm really surprised that the staff hasn't implemented this themselves. The same theme could have even been carried through: yellow border for us regular Glitchens, blue border for the staff. -
(function main() { function makeAvatar(tsid, name, url, topic) { if (topic) { var a = $("" + name + ""); } else { var a = $("" + name + ""); } return a; } function showAvatars() { var posts = {}; function getAvatar(tsid) { if (posts.hasOwnProperty(tsid)) { api_call("players.fullInfo", {player_tsid: tsid}, function (data) {if (!data.avatar || !data.avatar[50] || !data.player_name) {return;}var url = data.avatar[50];for (var i = 0; i
saw that happen - Oh wow, I really like this... It always felt weird to me to not see an avatar next to a post and now everything is right!
- @Jabs Girl: For sure. Makes it easier to follow conversations.
- That javascript that Rook posted was appended to one of my posts after I installed the script. No idea why it happened. Awesome script though.
- This is pretty cool. Thanks :)
-
Thanks for all the feedback! I've updated the script, and now avatars appear on forums, group discussions, and even the dev forums.
Rook and Emf, I have no idea why that would happen, but I did something that maybe could fix it? If anyone else has any problems, let me know! - Going to install this as soon as I can get to a comp. XD
- Top notch Grampa Joe!
- ..but did see same JS error that Rook and emf spotted. Keep that cigar on hold.
- wow! now that I see this I am kinda surprised it wasn't always like this!
-
@Grampa Joe:I am having the same JS error whenever I try to reply to somebody. Maybe it's a conflict of scripts? I do have www.glitch.com/groups/RHV10... installed as well.
Sadly, I will have to forego using this great avatar addon until the error gets fixed. - @Warrender: A conflict may have been the problem. Both scripts are now completely wrapped in their own protective bubbles; so make sure you have the latest versions of both installed, and let me know if that's still happening.
- Testing...1...2...3....
- @Grampa Joe:Testing....

Last test...
Woot! It looks like the protective bubbles are working! Awesome job, Grampa Joe! - @Warrender: Neat! And you should thank ping for updating his script, too! It looks like it got bubble-ified within the last couple of hours.
- woah, this is great:)
- Just the ticket! Nice one.
- [sorry, double post]
- Thought about this a lot, nice to see someone actually make it real! Devs should definitely implement this. (I'm playing from different computers so installling scripts everywhere is getting a little annoying)
- This is fantastic! Thanks, Grampa Joe. :)
- like this a lot. Thanks grampa :)
- I love this! Thank you so much!
- Oh, lovely!! :D
- Thanks, I love it!
- This is awesome! Much easier to connect the people you've been talking to on the forums with their glitches in game now. :D
- So cute! Added to the wiki :)
- testing
- Eeeee I love it!
- very cool :)
- Sounds great, will have to try it later (on the ipad right now, so no scripts).
- Nice! This is exactly what the forums are missing!!!! I love it! Thank you so much.
- This is perfect! We definitely needed this one. <3
- sweet now it will be easier to only read what blue glitchen have to say hehe
- I really appreciate all the feedback. Thanks everyone!
- cute! i really like it!
- Bumping this thread because it works, and adds personality to what people say.
- Thanks for bumping this, Rook. I didn't know about this before and I am loving it!
- Np.

Heh, tried it out in Firefox for Android with scriptish.
It almost works but gets confused sometimes, possibly when there are multiple posts from the same person in the thread. - Is this just for PC? It didn't seem to work on my Mac.
- Which browser are you using, Kashtana?
- This is very nice!! I suggest you put the avatar next to the post icon (I think after is better), since there is a lot of space on the left side.
- I use Firefox for Glitch.
- Great idea! I get to see everyglitchen's happy little face now.
- This is really great. Thanks Grampa Joe!
