Scripts (which you can use with Stylish or some other addon / extension)


Grey "Edited by..." text
p.edit{color: grey !important;}


Full width (Javascript)
It won't work to put this in css as a stylesheet, I'm not sure why though, but Javascript seems to be the only way.
$(".wrapper").css("width", "100% !important");



Community Discussion link on the main page (Not created by me)
$(document).ready(function(){var div = document.createElement("div");div.setAttribute("class","category_block block_wrap cidp_61");div.setAttribute("style","margin-bottom:0;padding:0;");var h3 = document.createElement("h3");h3.setAttribute("id","category_610");h3.setAttribute("class","maintitle");var a = document.createElement("a");a.setAttribute("href","http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/18-community-discussion/");a.setAttribute("id","cid_610");a.innerText = "Community Discussion";div.appendChild(h3);h3.appendChild(a);document.getElementById("categories").appendChild(div);});


Page numbers
$("div.pagination.clearfix.left.no_numbers").attr('class', 'pagination clearfix left');

The "Chrome" extension makes me think it's for Chromium-based browsers only.

It's nothing more than javascript and css. It may have some Chrome API specific calls, but it shouldn't be too hard to convert to a browser agnostic stylish and greasemonkey combo

I'll take your word for it but I was referring to how it is at the moment.

Yeah I was too quick to click the "Post" button, I was going to add the code from the extension to the OP... which I have done now (I'll edit in more code later)

I don't mean to hijack this thread but just to throw it out there:

If you are getting eye strain or headaches (or just do not like the font at all) but do not have Chrome so you can use this great tweak?

Even though it enlarges everything, try holding down 'ctrl' and use your mouse wheel, then 'ctrl 0' to revert back.

IMO, this should go in the OP for non-Chrome users.

Dang, I sounded like a salesman :laugh:

Added a version width 90% width, which is much easier on the eyes IMHO.

I could create a Firefox addon as well but I'm too tired to do it today, maybe tomorrow.

Sorry Opera users but there is no way I'm going near that horrible extension API again. :P

Just open up the extension in 7-zip, extract it, import the css file into stylish, import the javascript files into greasemonkey

We have built-in userCSS and user javascript support, so it isn't necessary :P

That'd be amazing. I hate both the Warrior and IP.Board theme and I have no idea what to do with those scripts you posted. :P

Hi Op,

Thanks for the tweaks. Is there any way I can get the same thing for IE 8? Or is there something other than zoom that I can do to increase the font size? Strangely enough the font size is OK in the default reply editor?

Thanks.

I know it's possible to create extensions / addons for IE (the latest version anyway) but I haven't tried it, sorry.



By the way, the extension should update itself but you can go to the extension menu in Chrome and click "Update extensions now" to get the update faster.

huh, that didn't work for me, maybe it had something to do with how my extension works. Thanks for the tip though.

Cheers Exorince, this is the second update in a row that you've made these forums better.
Good job! :happy:

Edit: Is there any way I can keep the same font size with the increased width? I kinda' liked it. :sweat:

Sorry, I just saw this thread. Any chance of removing the Dovakhiin from the TES forums altogether once the Construction Set forums are up and running? Firefox user here.
