Title: The Bore Chrome extension
Post by: Skidmark on September 02, 2011, 08:24:00 PM
How many of you are interested in a google chrome extension for The bore?
If you use another browser let me know what it is.
A lot of the limitations are board software side plugins and settings but if there is anything special that you would like to have in the extension post it here with any other ideas you have too. I am going to start working on it now.

I Use Chrome all of the times. If the extension sees the light of day, I'll give it a run.

I'm still with Firefox. Only way I can keep my browser looking like my desktop and start bar.

There are many things that I could add to it, for example:
A counter on how many new posts have been posted since the last vist or last time the popup was viewed. (works like a feed graber)
a popup that shows the latest x no. of posts. clicking on a title opens the thread and shows the latest post in a new tab.
add google search for the bore to the top of the popup page.
Sound notification can be added, customized or disabled.
PM notifications, you get a separate popup at the bottom of the screen that shows your PM, clicking on it takes you to the message.

It is useful because you can follow your posts and threads without having to refresh the page and instead can browse other websites in the mean time. I think this tool is great for moderation and following posts throughout the whole board.
Too bad that we don't have a subscribed threads section or I could have used it too. I am open for different ideas and suggestions.

I accidently his avatar.

I can also choose between new posts or new threads or both for the feed.
I can have the feeds from gaming and general mixed together or separated.

Ah, thanks for the explanation!

:lol

Redundant. We already have the gay subtext and main text; it would just get stuck in a loop.
