Edit: damn this worked a lot better then i thought it would :P hope you enjoyed the bacon.

Here's the announcement that explains vote counts going away.

RES will be removing vote counts in a future release.

Please understand: we have no say in this, we can't get the numbers back. They're gone.

To turn this now useless module off and get rid of the (?|?) in the meantime:

Settings > UI > (uppersAndDowners) Uppers and Downers Enhanced

NOTE: If you're looking for the previous sticky on installing / updating RES, it's right here

EDIT: With regards to "why not use the '% like it' info to calculate the real votes" question we keep getting -- that info is only available on the comments page. We can't pull that data to post listings pages without loads of API requests - it's not technically feasible/reasonable, sorry. We could show it on the comments page, but we can't show it on your front page or on any other post listing pages.

Press up up down down left right left right B A enter

What other easter eggs are you aware of?

RES added support for 3 new image hosts. Unfortunately, this means RES may have been disabled by chrome due to request for these new permissions. To re-enable it, just visit chrome://extensions

These image hosts are mediacru.sh, noEmbed.com -- RES requires access to the APIs of these sites in order to display images inline as well as Vine videos.

The "history" and "tabs" permissions are not new. They've always been requested.

As always, RES's permissions are detailed on the wiki if you're curious to read more.

EDIT: since so many people have angrily replied, I guess I'll post the same link a second time, but BIGGER:

RES's permissions are detailed on the wiki if you're curious to read about why each is requested

The only new ones between last release and this one are access to mediacru.sh and noEmbed (for Vine videos). The other permissions have always been there!

Please stop emailing me, private messaging me, etc to ask me about it.

It is not RES

Some features of RES are slowed down / broken by the fact that Reddit is crazy slow / overloaded today. PLEASE STOP ASKING ME ABOUT IT. Your comment karma and all of that other stuff will come back and work fine as soon as Reddit isn't under such ridiculously heavy load.

Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day.

For the lazy

So... it's been a rough several weeks...

As you all know, the Chrome and Opera web stores have both moved towards requiring addons be hosted there (or, in the case of Chrome, it's not "required", but it's a huge pain for non technical users if your addon isn't there)...

For that reason, I've moved towards getting RES on AMO (Firefox's addon librarY) as well. It took nearly 2 months, but RES is finally there. Tonight I'll make some tweaks so that you can get auto updated, but if you don't want to wait, you can search it out on AMO. Please back up your settings first - I'm not sure how smoothly the transition will go. It'd be great if any of you who download it could report back on that.

In other news: I know there've been bug reports even in the most recent versions, and I've not been hanging around here or /r/RESIssues much. That's because I've been putting in 50, 60 and even 70 hour weeks at work to get some projects finished up.

To make matters even more delightful - I will no longer have a job to put 50, 60 and 70 hour weeks into in a few short weeks. The company I work for will be closing its doors.

I'm not 100% sure what I want to do next, I'm still in a little bit of shock as the company I work for is essentially like a tight knit group of friends moreso than coworkers and the prospect of that being split up is really, really depressing.

So... if you're looking for a developer (as a hire, or as a freelancer for a project)... or if you've been meaning to buy me a cup of coffee but keep forgetting about it... well I'd love to hear from ya. I live in Chicago and would prefer to stay here if at all possible - totally willing to do remote work for someone who's cool with it.

I've generally tried to be as discreet and non-annoying as I can about soliciting donations (to the point many people have NO idea I even accept them), but the prospect of no paycheck soon means I'd like to take this one opportunity to ask: If you have gotten a lot of use out of RES and think it's worth a few bucks, I'd greatly appreciate a little somethin' in the tip jar.

The reddit privacy policy has been edited, and now says posts/comments are forever stored even if deleted. However, editing a post/comment to be blank before deleting would circumvent that. It'd be great if RES could streamline that by adding a [blank+delete] button under comments and posts.

RES 4.1.0 is now out. Your precious comment karma shall once again display ;-)

Chrome users: You may need to re-enable the addon due to increased permissions. here's the FAQ on permissions

Here's the what's new page this time around.

I imagine there may be some bugs once this is in 800,000+ hands. Bugs shall henceforth be directed to the new /r/RESIssues - please do not submit them here anymore. They will be deleted!

Why do this? Because we want to make /r/Enhancement a place that's worth subscribing to - and cluttering you with a bunch of bug reports isn't the way to do that. Instead, I'm going to try and post more informative "did you know...?" sort of stuff a bit more often.

Enjoy the latest release of RES!

EDIT: A FEW KNOWN BUGS CONFIRMED - EXPECT AN UPDATE IN THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS

• Safari users unable to install - I'm working on it. I'm not sure what the problem is but I've got an email in to a contact at Apple.

• Opera users seeing misaligned gear icon - sorry, I'm working on a fix!

• Firefox users unable to save links - figured it out, will be fixed in next release

• All users: Macros not going to the right textarea -- working on a fix also for the next 24-48 hours.

EDIT FOR THE SUPER ANTSY: A hotfix that fixes all of the above bugs (Except unable to install on Safari) has been uploaded. No version number change but a new release w/version number change will still come soon. If you just can't wait for that functionality back - go re-download the extension from the website.

SAFARI EDIT! I think I may have fixed the safari download. Try it now! Be sure to clear your cache to ensure you're not downloading the older version.

I've never used GoDaddy's hosting services, but I've used their domain service because it's the cheapest, and I don't have much spare money lying around - especially when I have a few dozen domains - every dollar counts...

That being said: In opposition of GoDaddy's support of SOPA, I'm joining a bunch of much bigger and more important groups than me by moving my stuff off of GoDaddy.

2 things:

1. It'll take some time.. I have LOTS of domains...

2. I use GoDaddy's name servers / DNS controls, which may mean that the transfer causes some (hopefully small) amount of downtime for my site[s]... Sorry :-\

EDIT: Of course, minutes after I post this, I see that ARS Technica reports GoDaddy will drop support ... well too bad. I'm still switching. They're only saying they're dropping support to try and stop this firestorm they've created because it impacts their bottom line.

I've tried to ignore it and hoped I'd get used to them, but I'm have real problems with it. The post icons I can kind of live with, but that their expando icons are a different style than all the other expando icons is really annoying.

Edlt: There's also this icon, which I first thought respresented x-posts but apparently doesn't. No idea what it's actually supposed to represent.

Edit 2: Meant to say "style" not "still" in the title. I is dumb.

Edit 3: Seems like the new icons got updated. Anti-aliasing is now working, and the inside of the icons was changed from black to white, which is no improvement whatsoever on a light-gray background and for night mode.

Edit 4: It seems like some people came to the erroneous conclusion that the icons were changed by RES. That is NOT the case; the icons got changed by Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/51u5gj/reddit_change_new_thumbnail_art_expando_art_and/ Sorry for not being clearer about that and causing confusion.

Edit 5: Expando buttons for videos also got changed in the meantime: http://i.imgur.com/yUGUPkV.png

Hi all... I was up late last night. Very late. I've made some "progress", but the results are not currently promising.

First, I'd just like to clear something up: I get the impression that some of you think I "don't care" about the problems you're having because they don't affect everyone. Please rest assured I care a great deal. It pains me to see people saying they've uninstalled RES because it got slow, etc. You're not paying me for the software, so just about the only joy I get out of it is seeing people say "I like it!" -- I HATE seeing people unhappy with it.

Thing is, I'm a human being. I work a really challenging job that consumes 45-65 hours of my week depending on what's going on. Beyond that, I come home to a lovely SO who deserves my attention, and 2 fuzzy critters who don't get nearly enough of it. RES is something I have to find/make time for, so I simply can't turn around solutions as fast as a software development company does when they release an app with a problem.

That being said - the discouraging part of this all is that it seems to not be RES's fault. I wish it was! I wish I could tell you "oops, I goofed and wrote this really crappy piece of code that I can just fix and all will be happy." I may come back and find out that I'm incorrect and it IS a piece of my code - but so far I don't believe it is. I've disabled just about everything that makes a native extension "different" from a Greasemonkey script, and the performance issues remain.

Unfortunately, it looks like it may be an issue with the Addon SDK for Firefox. I am doing my best to work with them toward finding out if it's definitely caused by the addon SDK, but I can say for sure that the same code in Greasemonkey runs much faster for those who are suffering from slowdowns.

One thing I do want to apologize for: It seems my decision to move off of Greasemonkey, while I had good reasons, may have been premature. It just made more sense to me to have a native extension rather than relying on a 3rd party plugin. Especially as Firefox upped its dev cycle to such rapid releases, and the Greasemonkey team had to work so hard to play catchup that it often caused problems for RES users. That, combined with the ability for native extensions to auto update, made me think it made sense to move to a native Firefox addon.

I still want to keep things in that path. I think it's the better way to go for the long term future. Assuming the problem is not RES's fault, I can't imagine the Firefox team allowing their Addon SDK to have such performance disadvantages. I'm sure this will get resolved.

I want to spend some time working with the Jetpack team to figure this out before suggesting everyone migrate back to Greasemonkey. I just wanted to let you all know that I am actively pursuing the issue and that it's not being ignored.

TL;DR: I am working on it. I see people are having performance issues and it's not being ignored.

Enjoy reddit as it used to be 5+ years ago.

So I just installed RES and I am loving it so far. now that I have it installed I want to get the most out of it. So I'm wondering what are some cool tweaks/hidden gems that you have found.

Hi folks!

I talked to the Reddit admins today to confirm my hunches about why some of you are having issues with Never Ending Reddit (and, in truth, Reddit itself - but you don't realize that!) ... Here's my best attempt at ELI5ing it...

First and foremost: If you do not believe my explanation below, turn Never Ending Reddit off and keep browsing as normal. You will eventually see a page that says "there doesn't seem to be anything here" in red text. This is what makes Never Ending Reddit say "reddit barfed"...

1. You can subscribe to as many subreddits as you want, but if you subscribe to more than 50 (or 100 for gold members), your frontpage is only ever composed of 50 at a time, which are randomly selected. These selections stay "static" for approximately 30 minutes -- then a new random selection is chosen. This is key to understanding what's going on...

2. In addition, there's really no such thing as "pages" on Reddit. Instead, you're saying "give me the links (from my current 50 subreddits at this time) #1 to #[page size] as ranked by voting right now at this exact moment"... When you go to the next page, you're saying "give me links #[page size] to #[page size*2] at this exact moment"... This is why you may see duplicate links from page to page! A link that was #23 a minute ago may be #26 now because of people voting things up and down...

So, why does Reddit "barf"?

There's 2 potential reasons:

1. Let's say you're currently on "page 6", and you've been checking out links for 20-30 minutes and having a grand old time... You try to load page 7 and it barfs... why? Because - Reddit's random selection of 50 reddits to show you has changed! "Show me the next page" no longer has meaning, so Reddit barfs!

2. Alternatively, let's say you haven't let that much time expire, but you're on a page way down there... page 8 or so... You're far enough down now that everything has somewhat lower vote totals, so anything getting 2-3 up/downvotes has a bit more "weight" to it... When you ask for the "next" page, the URL actually contains a parameter that says "give me the next page of posts after post ABCDE"... It's possible that post ABCDE and/or the posts around it have moved so much that Reddit barfs here too.

Reason #1 is something I actually confirmed with the Reddit admins tonight...

Reason #2 is a hunch I've developed anecdotally based on my experiences....

The upshot: RES is going to offer a "friendlier and more informative" message for you when you get this error, as well as an easier means of starting over from the top. I'll also likely include a link to this explanation in that error message for those interested in learning more.
