Well, i don't exactly have unfettered access to that database.  But even if i did, that'd fall apart as soon as someone posted from a shared IP address.

Yup. If you see a post by "Nathan A.", then bring up his bio - something like six different names across the last fifty posts.

We actually don't get any information from the DB. CPhog just pulls DOM manipulation tricks and XMLHttpRequest magic against the same exact CP pages you get.
We are certainly uncertain
at least I'm pretty sure I am...

I always new magic existed. Now if CPHog can convert iron into gold, then we're in business.

I installed the above GM update a couple days ago, and now when I go to a new forum, I get this message about 1/3 of the time: clickety
Anyone else seeing this?

Niet. Works on my machine. Not my code.

Mmm...just updated. Let me see if the problem appears when I'm browsing around.

I've actually seen this a few times recently. But i updated something like five other extensions at roughly the same time i updated GM, so i didn't know what to blame. I'll have to take a closer look next time it happens...

Wow, you installed GM and got Vista! I want a copy of that script.

Kewl, thanks for taking the time to look into this.

It would be kind of cool if we could forum watch our last five threads we posted in. So that over on the left the topmost forum watch would link to our last 5 comments in any forum not just the lounge. That would be kind of cool. Just put that somewhere in the nebulous regions of the todo list and roll it out before the sun burns out.

Would be nice to see the sun burn out as a forum watch as well. Be cooler if it went nova, but it's unlikely to happen.

I actually want this feature, badly. I've been holding off on it as a means of motivating myself to do some other, less interesting, code cleanup - once that's done, this is gonna happen.
Ah, the joys of watching a quick-and-very-dirty script balloon into a full-fledged app...

Do you know how much work that will be? 
I'd be willing to accept monetary bribes to get that to the top of the feature list. 
[update] Actually. We've got two options here. We can either assume that you're going to be using CPhog, keep track of the last five messages you've posted in unique threads, and add them to a list of threads to watch. Or, we could go off the Latest Comments[^] page for each user...which is cached it seems, and doesn't actually pick up stuff for a few minutes.
The second way is more reliable (assuming we can get Chris to embed the thread id in each of those links), but obviously going to be a bit out of date...which won't help if you've got a very current thread you'd like to watch. The first way is less reliable (in terms of accurate content), because you must be using CPhog for each post to get it to work and we'd be storing that information in global storage, so it would be machine-specific rather than portable to every machine.
Hrm. Things to think about...

Days and weeks. Bribes should definitely be involved.

First off, everyone should be using CPhog. All the time. So that's a non-issue.
The machine-specific thing is a bit of a problem; however, there are already a number of inconveniences when moving between machines / profiles, and this is hardly the worst of them.
Given that the whole intent of the feature seems to be a convenience thing (at-a-glance updates of the current post count in a thread), it's not exactly the end of the world if a thread goes missing.

I just noticed you can subscribe to an individual thread for the forum watch. Why not default subscribe to threads where you post and only retain the last 5? Just use a push-pop. Is it that easy?

So uh... Firefox updated and now I'm seeing this every time I try to reply and my entire computer dry-heaves all over. I'm posting this from IE which has me seriously chapped at the moment.

You know that's odd that it worked because that's the 2nd time I tried it. Why on the 2nd time did it work...
