Meta: Chrome MGoBlog Enhancer Extension Updated
Hey all.
A while ago I made a rudimentary Google Chrome extension to enhance MGoBlog. Well, it is a little less rudimentary with a couple new features.
In addition to fixing replies squishing down to nothing and remembering your comments per page, it now
- Jumps to the "After THE JUMP" section when clicking "Read more"
- Underlines player's last names (in most cases) and, when hovered over, gives some basic info on the player.
I am feeling a little motivated, so I might peruse the previous thread on this and see if I find anything else to add to it. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Yes but does it dice?

Whatever Brian paid HUEL, he should pay you at least double.

Pretty awesome, thanks for the hard work!

You are my current favorite person in the world.

Enhancer Extension: if it persists for more than four hours, call Viking Diet.

I put a <!--break--> tag at the jump for every post I write or edit. If it's not working on non-Seth'd posts that's probably why.

I think there needs to be an anchor tag with id="read-more"... <a id="read-more"></a>
edit: sarcasm meter is broken. I googled what that tag does... :facepalm:

Well done OP. Now do one for firefox.

It is pending approval... Check this link periodically-

I was joking, but you're awesome!

It turns out "porting to Firefox" basically means uploading to their store as well, so minimal effort!

To a technological simpleton like myself this is very impressive. Thanks for sharing vikingdiet.

I will donate $$$ if you incorporate an "ignore user X" capability
October 2nd, 2019 at 11:20 PM ^
Ooooh that one would be good... I will look into that tomorrow.

Can you make it so the default comments on a page are 100? I miss the days when I could set the default at 300 per page
October 3rd, 2019 at 7:50 AM ^
This extension does that. Pick it once and it should remember it the next time.

Well done, OP! Just installed and look forward to playing around.
I made a little script that adjusts the CSS of the page in order to create a more "compact" view. The project is open-source (MIT) so feel free to integrate any/all of the little tweaks if you'd like. I definitely prefer the more compact view, as it's otherwise pretty easy for me to get lost vertically on the page. https://github.com/pkfrank/mgocomments
What is the best way to offer feedback? The Outlook email on the Chrome store?
And finally, just placing the name Jon Runyan to hopefully test the hover effect.

The hover effect is a bit finicky and needs tweaking I think. If you put his name on a strong tag, it likely won't register. If I say Runyan, it probably works here.
I will look at your CSS, I appreciate you offering it! I need to look into adding ways to turn features on and off, so things like the name hover or your CSS can can be switched on and off.
You can send feedback to the email address, that works.
October 3rd, 2019 at 10:38 AM ^
Awesome, sounds great on all all fronts.
Confirmed that Runyan doesn't work but Runyan does, so that's good to know. Curious how you handle multiple players with the same last name, such as Lavert Hill and Daxton Hill.
There might be some lightweight open-source tools for "feature flags" which could help as you offer more customization options.
One big feature would be comment collapse. You can maybe use the <details> tag in HTML, here is a quick post on that topic: https://dev.to/ben/changelog-collapse-comments-via-the-details-html-tag-4nim

This is super useful. I always wanted to see the player numbers as I was reading and watching clips.
