NFT: Public Service Announcement - HideAPoster chrome extension

BeerFridge : 9/22/2015 1:48 pm
Made this today on my lunch break. So far it only hides Rich Houston-NYG-WR-1971, but I'm gonna make it configurable so you can even hide anyone, even me.

Enjoy.

Like I said, I'm gonna make it configurable. Lots of folks will probably want a BeerFridge free BBI experience, too. :)
Doesn't work

Not working :(

has been posting for a while, I don't think he would do that. But it's not working for me.
hmm... I guess I only tried the developer version.  
BeerFridge : 9/22/2015 2:06 pm : link
this is probably why I have a QA dept.

Hold off on downloading, please.
I don't know that this follows the rules  
Rocky369 : 9/22/2015 2:17 pm : link
of BBI 2.0 - but I dig it.
heh, I guess I uploaded a wrong package.  
BeerFridge : 9/22/2015 2:18 pm : link
I uploaded a new version but it may take up to 60 minutes for it to show up in the extension store.

Yes, the initial cut of the extension was "hide the dipshits". Sorry about that. :)
New version is up and seems to work for me.  
BeerFridge : 9/22/2015 2:24 pm : link
FYI, you have to click it to make it clear the page on each post. I wanted to get this part working before I have it do it on every page automatically since I don't have a settings page yet.
You're an asshole for doing this

thanks! I'll take it.
Works!  
ron mexico : 9/22/2015 2:48 pm : link
pretty cool

I see you added yourself to the hide list

Ohh, I see how it works.  
Mike in Long Beach : 9/22/2015 2:49 pm : link
Nice! I think it still doesn't work if he started the thread, but good to know!
It's pretty funny watching his posts disappear  
Mike in Long Beach : 9/22/2015 2:50 pm : link
when you click it. Well done, sir.
does it only work on the main page?  
ron mexico : 9/22/2015 2:51 pm : link
and not in the threads themselves?

Working for me...  
Mike in Long Beach : 9/22/2015 2:53 pm : link
I'm on BBI, I see Rich posted... Oh, no!:



Enable the extension!



Whew!
The invention that will save BBI.

Should work on both. Should hide the posts started by Rich and the comments. On my machine, I have the comma delimited list thing working.
I'm glad you guys like his package

I'm not enough of an asshole to name "names"  
Semipro Lineman : 9/22/2015 4:00 pm : link
but I would love for an automatically updating low IQ version of this...

That way, every time something doesn't go the Giants' way, I can come to the site and read relatively normal conversations about it
Just uploaded a new version that supports a list of posters.  
BeerFridge : 9/22/2015 4:01 pm : link
separated by commas.

Feel free to put "BeerFridge" in the list. :)
Yeah I would just say update so that  
Mike in Long Beach : 9/22/2015 4:01 pm : link
any names I add will remember my settings and keep the poster automatically blocked. It seems like you got the hard part done.
do you still need to hit the button  
ron mexico : 9/22/2015 4:04 pm : link
on every new page you go to?

Yeah, it remembers settings in the version I just uploaded. I am gonna be a bit careful with the auto filter just because I have a change then to insert a problem into every BBI Forum request. I'll set that up and use it for a few days before publishing.

Google chrome only. Should be an 'add to chrome' button at the OP link.
how do you add people to the list?  
ron mexico : 9/22/2015 4:17 pm : link
?
As someone above previously mentioned  
Audible : 9/22/2015 4:18 pm : link
If I set this up to hide nobody, it hides everybody. But I'm sure that will be fixed.

Thanks for the contribution :)

Good question.  
BeerFridge : 9/22/2015 4:20 pm : link
Right click on the extension icon and click options.

or, go to Chrome://extensions and there should be a link to the options there, too.
LOL..  
arcarsenal : 9/22/2015 4:23 pm : link
This does not bode well for radar.
I should have mentioned that I only use my phone to access BBI

Yeah, can't help you with that. You're stuck with seeing posts from Rich, radar and me.
you're fine away from political threads  
Greg from LI : 9/22/2015 4:37 pm : link
And I've grown so sick of politics that I rarely even read those ones anymore.
hey

I really like the hide the dips hits setting -- I'm not upgrading unless you include it

Alternately, I could extend it to just change the list of posters handle to "dipshit" and all their comments to "derp"

Aw, thanks. I agree. We will never agree on a political thread but I often agree with what you post about sports.
This is an autofilter away from being amazing.  
Mike in Long Beach : 9/22/2015 4:51 pm : link
I can't realistically hide radar on every thread. And if I see he posted, I'm gonna be tempted to read it and not hide.

But if I don't know its there it's perfect. You are a hero.
here's a screen shot of the extension at work  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/22/2015 4:52 pm : link



I'm not sure how Funkhouser slipped in there -- you may have to reprogram the dipshit setting
