Languages/libraries used: javascript jquery

Is it too much to ask for a bookmarklet version? Tamper and Greasemonkey don't work for me. I tried appending javascript: to the beginning but it isn't working. I think it might be the jQuery requirement? — Firedestroyer, Jan 25 '22 at 22:48
It may be worth adding this script to this meta question, since this script is 100% essential. — Thomas Markov, Jan 31 '22 at 12:53
Here's a updated bookmarklet version. I found a great tool online to do it for me. Here's the bookmarkleted code. — Firedestroyer, Feb 08 '22 at 17:50

I don't see that any changes to the home page just recently went live, so it may be something under the hood that has broken.

It looks like .s-post-summary--stats now includes .s-post-summary in the selector, which gives it more specificity. I tried adjusting the script to match that with .s-post-summary .s-post-summary--stats, and it seems to work. The change could be an accident on SE's side. – Andrew Myers Feb 07 '23 at 18:47
I'm using @AndrewMyers's fix: sed 's/.s-post-summary--stats{/.s-post-summary .s-post-summary--stats{/g' – Mateen Ulhaq Feb 08 '23 at 00:38

It seems some recent changes happened:

There are ugly attention-snagging golden tags. Could you make them the normal blue instead? The eye is far enough, even though I don't think even that is useful.
The "2votes" is squashed onto one line. It didn't use to be yesterday.

I am using chrome, version 1.3.1 of the auto-update version of your userscript.

I like the part where the bugged version of this script still looks better than the SE default. – Thomas Markov Jan 27 '22 at 18:12

I do not know if it's just me, but it seems to work amazingly well in a full-size browser window, but not when I make the browser (Chrome) fill only the right half of the screen:

This is still preferable to the new design of course, but it would be nice if you happened to fix this :)

A bug that shows questions with thousands of views as # then on a new line kviews.

Shouldn't it be #K Views?

bug

This doesn't work for me, because jQuery isn't loaded when the script runs. (GreaseMonkey 4.11, Firefox 97.0b9). I had to add

// @require https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js

to the userscript header.

GreaseMonkey is notoriously hard to be compatible. Are you bound to GreaseMonkey? If not, check if you can use / like TamperMonkey or ViolentMonkey. Oth, if that line is all that is needed a specific GM4 version seems doable. But I'm not the maintainer, let's see what Spectric has to say. – rene Feb 08 '22 at 20:41
I don't want to use TamperMonkey because it's not open-source. TIL about ViolentMonkey; I'll switch straight away! – pxeger Feb 08 '22 at 20:42
Unfortunately it turns out this fix actually breaks https://chat.stackexchange.com, so you should just switch to ViolentMonkey. – pxeger Feb 08 '22 at 20:46
ViolentMonkey works fine here. (Brave browser) – galacticninja Feb 09 '22 at 02:43

Can't reproduce this error anymore. Are you still experiencing that issue on your side? – Spectric Feb 10 '22 at 02:35

@Spectric (I had to reinstall browser for personal issues and after that) I installed ViolentMonkey (in Firefox) like suggested in comments above here and it works now. I used GreaseMonkey previously. And, sorry but, I am too lazy to test if GreaseMonkey would work. – Vanity Slug - codidact.com Feb 10 '22 at 14:51

status-completed feature-request

Can this also be made to improve the user's questions and answers tabs e.g.

https://stackoverflow.com/users/14251221/spectric?tab=answers

They now have way too much whitespace, they looked a lot better before. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot of the before available.
