[Features]

Idk, if someone made this already here but i made this userscript just few days (or a week?) ago as i havent seen such on Bitcointalk.org Userscripts/ Add-ons / SMF patches. This script automatically converts copied urls to bbcode url tags instead of clicking the url tag and edit it manually.

Features
- Automatically formats copy/pasted URL to bbcode URL tag.
- Works on highlighted/selected text too, paste to the highlighted/selected text and will have url tag format
- To enable or disable. Press Ctrl+Shift+U or click "Enable/Disable" toggle.



Installation
- Install Tampermonkey (or any userscript extension) on desktop (most browsers) and on mobile (Edge or any browser that supports extensions).
- Go Tampermonkey and Create new script..
- Copy and paste the userscript github source or install from Greasyfork
- Then save

Let me know your thoughts.


Changelog:

Code:

v1.3 - Added support for highlighted/selected text as the URL label
v1.2 - Added shortcut key and Enable/Disable link to toggle the script
v1.1 - Removed input fields and limited the script to textareas
v1.0 - Initial release

Test

I have just suggested this one on PowerGlave thread Little things that bug you/me about the forum earlier, after i posted it there, I thought it would be great to read your thoughts about this to be implemented.

Here's my actual post (edited some text)...

Idk if this was suggested before, but i noticed that most merited (by users) thread/reply with multiple rows is a mess. While its good way to show off the merits received and the ones who give merits on that thread/reply. This will be more mess when time goes by knowing we have thousands of users here, imagine if half of all the members give merits to a thread/reply, it will be a long list/rows to show.

That's why I would like to suggest about the showing of received merits from users on a thread/reply to be limited by one row or two three with others as collapsible content, with collapse button/anchor "Show More..." by default, then "Show Less..."

Check the difference of the image result below how neat a two three rows showing merits received from this thread Merit & new rank requirements







I did some tweaking on the codes using CSS for ellipsis and JS for toggle button

Insert HTML class and id with the "Show more..." button

HTML elements to be added:

Code:

id="collapsible-content"
class="merit-content"
html: <span class="toggle-button" id="toggle-button">Show more...</span>

Code:

<td valign="middle" id="collapsible-content">
    <div class="smalltext merit-content">
        <i><span style="color:green">Merited</span>
            .....
        </i>
    <div>
    <span class="toggle-button" id="toggle-button">Show more...</span>
</td>

CSS

Code:

.merit-content {
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    display: -webkit-box;
    -webkit-line-clamp: 3; /* Limit to 3 rows/lines */
    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
}

.expanded .merit-content {
    height: auto; /* Show full content when expanded */
    -webkit-line-clamp: unset; /* Remove line clamp when expanded */
}

.toggle-button {
    display: inline-block;
    color: #476C8E;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 11px;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

JS

Code:

const toggleButton = document.getElementById('toggle-button');
const collapsibleContent = document.getElementById('collapsible-content');

toggleButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
    if (collapsibleContent.classList.contains('expanded')) {
        collapsibleContent.classList.remove('expanded');
        toggleButton.textContent = 'Show more...';
    } else {
        collapsibleContent.classList.add('expanded');
        toggleButton.textContent = 'Show less...';
    }
});

Updated code to be used on userscript extension for three rows.

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name     Collapsible Received Merits
// @description     Collapse multiple rows of received merits in Bitcointalk
// @author  PX-Z

What's your thoughts on this...

Note: This is only a temporary solution, there will be much better approach if sever-side script is included to enhance the code...

I will pay after i received campaign payment on bitcointalk (bc.game campaign) and altcoinstalks (mixer campaign) on monday or tuesday but usually i received it on monday.

I'm just short hand as i need it this sunday yet i will have my additional money in monday so no good.
Thank you.

New Update:
Chart bar will only turn red if the downtime is 5 mins and above but it will still show the downtime minutes if hovered, the same thing downtime records will be showed in the -activity section.

Update: Timezone is added

I just created a webpage for uptime status monitor for bitcointalk. It might not be so useful everyday but it will be soon

This works on visiting the forum website for 1 minute interval and capture response time and status code in every visit.
Status code >=200 && <300 is good while >=300 && <=511 is bad which always considered as downtime error.

The Current status will show if the website is Up (Operational) or down (Downtime) with green and red indicators.

It will record and show the last 60 days of uptime status of the website in desktop mode and 30 days in mobile mode by default.

[What happened:]

What happened: As the title said, spammers now learned how to bypass spam emails and phishing URLs at least in gmail (which i currently use) to avoid redirecting it spam folder.
This is a related thread posted in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/s/JZquBZKFW2

Scammers Profile Link:

Code:

radarappd6.site -> radar-dapp.net

Additional Notes:
The moment i received email from Patreon wonders me why i'm receiving this when i never have subscribe to someone's Patreon before. This avert me to check everything sent on the email. I thought this also a case of spoofed email but it looks like it was sent using patreon's email server.
This is the email content:




The URL in question (scammer profile link) that redirects to other site.

I searched about "radar dapp" and I found one in cmc the "RADAR" token with its website^(below) which is the main website

Code:

dappradar.com

So this is just another story of giveaway scam in emails but with a twist.

"This move comes just after the SEC recently said it will start naming unlicensed exchanges in its advisories going forward, as well as working with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to block access to the exchanges’ websites."

"The SEC warned that those acting as salesmen, brokers, dealers, agents, or promoters for Binance within the Philippines could face criminal liability under Section 28 of the SRC. The penalties include a fine of up to five million pesos or imprisonment of up to twenty-one years, or both."

After the recent international news regarding sa binance, now, dito naman satin. Surely, this will have a huge effect dito satin lalo na sa mga p2p traders if ma block ang binance site, maybe hindi lang website nila ang ma ba-block pati nadin ang sms access like sms 2fa.
At i bet na halos lahat ng crypto users dito satin ay may account sa binance compare sa ibang local exchanges.

Also, may penalties pa na pwedeng ipataw sa mga promoters nito based sa Section 28 of the SRC.

I found this tweet earlier today. I don't know how true this post is and if there should to be worry about talking about chatGPT in programming space.
I just want to ask coz this sounds like sarcasm to me lol.

About the improved payserver, well, that's all good to me though.

[He admitted to having lost everything – including not only the investors’ funds but also his own savings.]

DNP3 confessed to having gambled away all investors’ funds, the result of debilitating gambling addiction which forced him into desperation. DNP3 said that his addiction began unexpectedly, and it quickly took a hold of him.

DNP3 confessed to having spent all money he could find on a popular crypto gambling brand, chasing elusive big wins. “Even when the big wins did happen it wasn’t enough,” the streamer said. He admitted to having lost everything – including not only the investors’ funds but also his own savings.

I knew this guy because i followed him on twitter on his philanthropist activities on the platform also on twitch, that was a year ago, i guess. And was surprised after reading this news.
The act of using the investors funds without their consent is illegal in any way, worst if you gamble it all.

Well, when gambling addiction hits you, no matter how rich or poor you are, this will be a possible illness to every gambler. That's why gambling moderately.

I just read this news which has posted few days ago but never saw this topic on gambling related boards from 1-5 pages. Let me know if there's an existing discussion related to this so i can lock this instead.

Yes as the title said the KBM or Korean Boxing Members Commission change the decision after some reviews and the admittance of Akaho that it's a KO defeat. Source^[2].

"Mr. Akaho said that the damage he received was not due to the impact of the punch hit the back of his head," said John Hwang, KBM chairman, in a letter to the Games and Amusement Board (GAB).

"He took a break to fight again, but he gave up because he couldn't, and he admitted that it was KO defeat."

New electrum version is released. No major updates though, more were bugs fixing. Check the release notes for more info.

* When creating new requests, reuse addresses of expired requests
   (fixes #7927).
 * Index requests by ID instead of receiving address. This affects the following commands: get_request, get_invoice, list_requests, list_invoices, delete_request, delete_invoice
 * Trampoline routing: remember routes that have failed. Try other routes instead of systematically raising tampoline fees.
 * Fix sweep to_local output from channel backup (#7959)
 * Harden build script for macOS binary: avoid using
   precompiled wheels from PyPI for most packages (#7918)
 * The Windows/AppImage/Android binaries are now built on debian using the snapshot.debian.org archive instead of ubuntu. This should help with historical reproducibility. (#7926)

A careless mother’s casino time resulted in her children’s death. The neglectful parent had left her kids in a hot car to place a few punts at a local casino without considering the consequences.

This is the saddest news I read today. I knew this case isn't possible when in online gambling but this is possible for other unfortunate circumstances too especially at home or somewhere else when you're doing your online gambling activity.

This should be a lesson to take to all parents out there that family is priority first before anything else especially children.

I wonder if there are parents who have experienced something like this or someone knew that has the same case, not with the one with a dead case though but something accident happened because of neglect parenting.
