I rolled back the latest rapid security update and reset a lot of stuff. Cannot get it to work. Everywhere else it’s great, but until I can beta the Artemis app (@hariette) these features would be welcome.

If I figure anything out, I’ll let you know.

I got the same problem!

Will try a fresh install today and see if its starts working.

See the discussions from today. It's fixed.

Ori, in Add subs to navbar not doing anything?

You're 💯 right. If there's not an issue opened by tomorrow, I'll open one and take a look.

Indy, in KES 4.1.0: Improving the signal to noise ratio by blocking unsolicited ads

Thank you very much for the attempt to address the canned meat problem in the way you can.

shazbot,

I'm going to be expanding coverage on a rolling basis through a series of updates. If there is a specific magazine where you keep running into this problem, please let me know.

Indy,

Will do. /fediverse and /gaming seem to have some too. Mainly /science as you noted.

shazbot,

Thanks. I've released a small hotfix that extends coverage further. As for stuff showing up in the "random threads" sidebar, I believe this area is a lost cause, since it populates content regardless of whether it is being blocked or not. I suggest just disabling it via the General > Hide sidebar elements feature.

Indy,

Good thought. Also, you're a mind-reader; I swear I only thought about /random and didn't actually say anything. LOL

I think you forgot to fill in the actual mod name.

shazbot,

Thanks, fixed.

speck, in KES 3.2.3: Hotfixes

Hey, thanks again for looking into that issue!

shazbot,

Sorry if I forgot to ping you directly. I figured I would just patch the issue right away, rather than holding it off for the next release.

ghostatnoon, in KES 3.1.0: Cosmetic fixes
ghostatnoon avatar

There's a cosmetic issue I've been having with the script that this update doesn't seem to have fixed: with the script enabled, even with all its features turned off, certain divs (which as far as I've found are all children of main, with both the section class and the content id) are being given the display:unset style. This 1) removes the background and 2) conflicts with the styling for .section to somehow create two bars along the left side of the element. Examples are on the "add new thread" page, the login page, and in almost every tab of the "magazine panel" moderation tool.

I tried looking for the issue in the script and couldn't find anything that jumped out at me (I... also don't know javascript, so it was a bit of a shot in the dark), but I'm as close to certain that it's this script as it's possible to be. I'm able to replicate the issue consistently across three different devices (Ubuntu/Linux Mint laptops and Android phone), running the script via the Tampermonkey extension in Firefox. (I saw that this had already been reported awhile back specifically for the login page and that you hadn't been able to replicate it, so I'm trying to provide any device-specific information I can think of that might be relevant).

Anyway, I was pushed to finally bring up the issue today because although previously the issue has just been a minor visual annoyance, I just changed the background on one of my magazines to an image and now, with the script removing the nice solid background from behind the formatting icons on the new thread page, I can barely see them. :(

shazbot,

Thanks for the report. I did a quick test now and was still unable to reproduce it. I believe you when you say it is happening consistently. The soonest I'll be able to investigate this further is this weekend. In the meantime, it would be helpful if you could submit a formal bug report on GitHub and include direct URLs, screenshots, and the specific element ids/classes in question. Thank you.

I remember KES not functioning properly with Turbo mode. Has that been fixed with the new update?

shazbot,

Truth be told, I am not sure what turbo mode is intended to be. The setting is there, but it has no description. I turned it on and observed no change. Is it different from infinite scrolling mode?

ContentConsumer9999,

I think it makes going through Kbin smoother by not loading a new page each time you click on something.

shazbot,

Thank you, I looked into it. Here is a reply I made in another thread:

By design, Greasemonkey scripts necessarily trigger on page load. However, KES initializes its own mutation observer and watches for events that change the DOM, but does so in a granular fashion so that only those of relevance (changes to the thread index and comments) are propagated. It looks like when turbo mode is enabled, the entire DOM up to the HTML tag is replaced at once, so our more granular approach is missing this change. We need to watch for basically all mutations now and filter them accordingly.

After making the necessary changes, it seems to be working again as intended, but some additional refactoring is needed, and I haven't checked the implication of this on specific scripts/add-ons yet. It looks like it should be easy enough, since the majority of functionality I looked at was working again when using a more permissive observer.

I haven't added these changes into the release version of KES, and given that turbo mode is listed as experimental, I don't think we can support it immediately over a more traditional page load structure, but at least I am aware of the issue now and can start refactoring it. Hopefully it is not problematic.

ContentConsumer9999,

Great to hear! I'm assuming Turbo mode compatibility will be announced when it's released. Is there a experimental KES version that does have Turbo mode support?

shazbot,

There is a testing branch that can be used by intrepid souls who don't mind random breakage, but compatibility with Turbo Mode has not been added in there yet. I just workshopped the change a bit locally and haven't pushed any changes. I will ping you again when the prototype is working with a link to the testing branch.

ContentConsumer9999,

Great, thanks!

shazbot,

Thank you for waiting. This feature is now available in the testing branch and should apply by default if Turbo Mode is enabled. I had to rejigger a few things to make the functionality comply with both normal and turbo modes, but KES should apply its settings correctly in all of the expected scenarios:

  • On initial page load
  • When navigating between pages
  • When loading threads/comments via infinite scrolling

Let me know if you see something out of the ordinary.

Note that the testing branch may introduce breaking changes from time to time, so after testing this feature, you can go back to the stable branch. The finalized version will make its way into version 3.2.0.

ContentConsumer9999,

Great! I'll set it up soon.

The softblock features is amazing! Thank you!

NotAPenguin, in KES 3.0.0: New features and stability improvements

Looks like KES still breaks some styling somewhere, the login page looks like this with KES enabled.(ignore the proton pass thing in the email field.

shazbot,

I disabled everything and tried it with/without and saw no observable difference on the login page. Can you indicate what anomaly you are seeing in the above screenshot? Also, could you please click the clipboard icon on the bottom right of the KES menu and paste the contents of the clipboard to me in a PM so I can try to reproduce this?

NotAPenguin,

It's the background behind the credentials that's messing up, see those little grey bars on the left.

I disabled the other userscripts I had installed and still had this problem but now I went through the KES settings and configured stuff and the issue is now gone.

I saw this problem before this update too.

Not sure what's up but seems alright now.

Thanks for the work on this :)

shazbot,

If it occurs sporadically, it might be something failing to load on kbin's side, I have seen visual bugs like this before that are unrelated to KES. Check the dev console when refreshing the page and see if there are any warnings or errors. I will investigate regardless.

shazbot,

Getting back to you, this issue has been extensively described and reported by another user on this ticket. The bug is now fixed and will make its way into the next release (3.2.0).

NotAPenguin,

Great to see :)

Thank you!

PrinzKasper, in Is there a setting in KES I'm missing that will get rid of or modify this?

Would definitely love the option to display my subbed magazines there, similiar to old reddit.
