Did you install the old extension?

First error I've found:

Thanks. For some reason the browser decided to run it twice, which in theory shouldn't happen. I think I'll need to add a check to not add those widgets if they already exist.

No, I only installed it yesterday (Version 2) via the Firefox site via the link provided by suchmoon overnight, so no third party interference.

As a suggestion on a person's profile page, perhaps their ranking could be added?  I would imagine that it would be too problematic to add it to every single last page for every last user, but perhaps on a profile page would be the ideal location.


Another suggestion concerning the DT1/DT2 labels, perhaps green/grey/red for each rank depending on a users positive, neutral or negative DT1/DT2 position

I Want to test the firefox extension as well.
Do I need the pm to download it?

Same question Does it work on Firefox?

[suchmoon]

Thank you all for your interest in the extension - just give me a day or two to try some workarounds for the bug reported by Timelord2067 and I'll make an updated version available, probably in a new thread.

We've got a few new updates to the site!

• New more robust dt1changes.aspx report.
  
• sMerit page is now showing more links; to profile pages, and a "Summary" link to each users Bitcointalk Merit Summary page.
  
• sMerit page also now attempts to link to LoyceV's deleted posts archive. Posts missing in LoyceV's archives may end up as a broken link. It will only attempt to link if the msg ID falls in range of what LoyceV provides (>=5190*). For these that fall in range, the link will show in the post title as "[Deleted Post] Click to check LoyceV's archived posts".
  If the a missing msg ID falls out of range, the post title will still appear blank in the list.
• Added in a new link to LoyceV's trust list viewer for each profile, under the "Trust Feedback Information" area, which links directly to the users trust list.
  

And since I enjoy leaving some sort of music in my posts.. boom boom pow!

New more robust dt1changes.aspx report

A few notes about that:

• We're logging not only DT1 internal changes but also when DT1 members include or exclude other users (DT2 selection).
• If you hover on the DT1/DT2 badges you'll see the inclusion/exclusion balance (strength) for each user at the time of the event. So for example in the screenshot below you can see that a particular exclusion caused someone to drop out (strength becomes -1).
• The aforementioned new features start from ~ February 1st, old data remains as it was.
• There might still be some glitches, for example during the monthly DT1 selection process the DT1 list gets updated earlier than the DT2 list and that causes issues for our scraper. I'll deal with those manually.

Edited 2020-11-30 to fix a broken image

[Timelord2067]

Interesting changes - I liked how a person could see at a glance the current value of a person on DT1 (3), (0), (-3) etc.

I suspect there's some back-of-house work at the monthly DT1 roster update which makes it seem this person no longer distrust/trust this person as they slip on or off of DT1, however, I just would like to point out:



I haven't "no longer distrust the person" - it seems to occur randomly to other users as well during a month.

New more robust dt1changes.aspx report.

Using "Neutral" theme, I can barely read the text (at least on my low-quality screen).

sMerit page also now attempts to link to LoyceV's deleted posts archive. Posts missing in LoyceV's archives may end up as a broken link. It will only attempt to link if the msg ID falls in range of what LoyceV provides (>=5190*). For these that fall in range, the link will show in the post title as "[Deleted Post] Click to check LoyceV's archived posts".

So you only show the link to my archives if the post was deleted when you tried to get the title, right? Isn't it much more likely the post gets deleted much later, so you won't notice it's gone?

I'm also working on archiving all older posts, but this will take at least half a year to complete. Obviously I can't scrape posts that are gone already, but I can preserve what's currently still there. I'll archive the first 53.36 million posts this way, and the link format will be like this.

Added in a new link to LoyceV's trust list viewer for each profile, under the "Trust Feedback Information" area, which links directly to the users trust list.

Did you see I added http://loyce.club/trust/latestversion.txt ? It's the easiest way to find my weekly update.

One more suggestion: you should probably only link to my Trust list viewer if the user has (or is mentioned on) a custom Trust list. So they should be mentioned in theymos' trust data dump, which suchmoon already processes (or my version, I can also create a version with only userIDs if you want to use it). About 99.5% of the profiles don't have a custrom Trust list, so you currently have many links to my 404.
There are a few users who had a custom Trust list in the past, but not anymore. They're not added to my latest Trust list viewer, but the older versions still exist. If you really want to, you could keep track of them and link them to the last known version, but it's probably not worth the extra work.

I forgot to add: I like the updates

A few notes about that:

Much better description!

Using "Neutral" theme, I can barely read the text (at least on my low-quality screen).

Thanks, I'll work that out. suchmoon hard-coded some styling in there, which I had seen, but I never went back to adjust for the themes!

So you only show the link to my archives if the post was deleted when you tried to get the title, right? Isn't it much more likely the post gets deleted much later, so you won't notice it's gone?

The next step in this is to parse the weekly merit file for comparison, which will go back 120 days, so posts moved/deleted within that time-frame will be updated as deleted and provide a link.

Did you see I added http://loyce.club/trust/latestversion.txt ? It's the easiest way to find my weekly update.

Indeed, we are capturing that occasionally to get the latest folder path, so it will update those links moving forward with the latest list available.

I'm not sure if suchmoon is parsing the list himself or not but BPIP's parsers don't automatically capture the trust dump or merit dumps just yet.

To cut down on the 404's on the trust viewer, a userID's only version would help if it is not time consuming to create, we could capture that txt as we are with latestversion and do a quick check if the ID exists, before providing the link.

I'm also working on archiving all older posts, but this will take at least half a year to complete.

Tis' looking good so far!  

Thank you for the data collecting and analysis you are doing!

Ah yes, my fault. I think all I tried to do was to make the text less bright so DT1/DT2 badges would stand out.

I'm not sure if suchmoon is parsing the list himself or not but BPIP's parsers don't automatically capture the trust dump or merit dumps just yet.

I set up parsing of the trust file last week but it's not going into the database yet.

There are a few users who had a custom Trust list in the past, but not anymore. They're not added to my latest Trust list viewer, but the older versions still exist. If you really want to, you could keep track of them and link them to the last known version, but it's probably not worth the extra work.

How about a separate list of user IDs for each week? Let's say next week you create user_ids_week_57.txt, the week after - user_ids_week_58.txt, etc edit - scratch that, just put user_ids.txt in the appropriate folder as indicated by latestversion.txt and that should be ok. That way we can figure out on our end which week is the latest available for each user.

It seems we have a new 2.0.2 version of BPIP addons.
Now, something is wrong, I haven't DT1 and DT2 badge even if enabled in options. Same situation with banned/inactive users badge.
Any idea?

That's what you get for being a guinea pig

Sorry about that, we're looking into it. Might be something on the server side rather than the extension itself.

[ibminer]

^ Ya... I broke it. lol, published a version that didn't have the latest changes from suchmoon and it stopped those badges from appearing. Should be better now. MY BAD!

Using "Neutral" theme, I can barely read the text (at least on my low-quality screen).

dt1changes report is now using badges similar to what we're using with the extension to help differentiate them from the text.

If you all like the look of the pill badges, I can change it where DT1/2 status appears in other areas of the site as well.

There is a discrepancy on your index.html page. On the left, there is a column entitled "Most Merited" The title of this column implies this measure the merit a user has received.

This column appears to display the total merit a person has, including what they received when the merit system was implemented. Not the amount of merit they have received. For example, this column shows gmaxwell having received 3,215 merit, while in reality, he has received 2,215 merit. His bpip profile page correctly displays his merit.

[ibminer]

It has been stated for quite some time if you hover on the Most Merited title:

"Includes initial Merit and all accumulated when other members send sMerit"


Not very high on the priority list at all, but it has been my intent to add in a small info icon to make the message a little more obvious & mobile friendly.

His bpip profile page correctly displays his merit.

There are two merit totals on his profile page. One showing total merit received by theymos at implementation + received by other members, and then one showing merit received from other members.

Thank you for the data collecting and analysis you are doing!

My pleasure

just put user_ids.txt in the appropriate folder as indicated by latestversion.txt and that should be ok. That way we can figure out on our end which week is the latest available for each user.

Done: http://loyce.club/trust/2020-02-08_Sat_07.44h/user_ids.txt
I haven't tested the weekly updates yet, but it should work.

Do you also want this for previous weeks? That's a bit more work, so I'll only make it if you're going to use it.

[Timelord2067]

I tried to install BPIP for Firefox on my mobile phone (android). 

Got a terse warning not to install it.
