Endless Forum Pages UserScript by Lnx2Mac !

[Lnx2Mac]

Hi !

Do you hate waiting for the next page to load while reading the Forum ?
Do your lose the focus on the thread each time you hit Next ?
Do you like using Geeky plugins ? ​

Then, this is for you! ​

Attached is a GreaseMonkey script that makes the forum pages infinitely long by loading more when you scroll near the bottom of the page (so the next page is ready when you get there).

I started this based on Jesse Ruderman's "Endless Forum Pages" wonderful userscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1894 and adapted it to work with the forum's theme.

Each time a "next page" is loaded, an ad-banner row is added to the table...
This helps to know a new page was loaded (and keeps supporting tony, so he won't lose ad-impressions because of this)
Also, the bottom navigation bar is updated to reflect the current page number.

To install it, just download the attachment, and open it with FireFox...

This one is obsolete !
See viewtopic.php?p=65711#p65711 below for new version (ViewForum) + ViewTopic
endless_tonymacx86_forum_v2.user.js

BTW, If any of you have experience with a similar add-on for Safari/Chrome, I'll be glad if we can work together on it...

Enjoy !

Worked for me on Windows too.

Following yesterday's post, I added one to work on viewforum as well...

One of the capabilities added to this one is the ability to hide/show read topics.

Enjoy !

1. What are the differences among the 3 forum "reader" downloads? I guess different forum software? If so how can I tell which one to use?
2. Am I correct, GREASEMONKEY is required?

endless_tonymacx86_forum_v2.user.js is obsolete...

endless_tonymacx86_viewtopic_v3.user.js is for viewtopic.php pages
endless_tonymacx86_viewforum_v2.user.js is for viewforum.php pages

2. Am I correct, GREASEMONKEY is required?

Right.

Hi,

I was looking for this kind of script for ages! thanks!
However, the forum I'm visiting uses what looks like a different kind of page addresses (although it is based on phpBB 2.0.13 port for PHP-Nuke).

The main thread page is something like:
http://www.hometheater.co.il/vt132989
and visiting other pages of the same thread is by addresses like:
http://www.hometheater.co.il/modules.ph ... start%3D15

Is there a way to adjust the above script so it will do the same, on this kind of PHPBB board?

Thanks anyway!

Sure... All it takes is patience and being able to hack a bit of Javascript...

At least it works for me with Chrome on Mac.
