[TOOL] ⭐Bitcointalk BRDb score

[fillippone]

I'm not at the speed of our friends Loycev and Tryninja but now I'm almost at the same pace.

You might not be at their pace, but you are accelerating, my friend: never underestimate the power of the second derivatives!

Also, a warning to Tryninja and LoyceV:



Never underestimate an Italian on the run-up!

Lol However, I can't go any faster than this, I think that if I accelerated any more I would risk errors 503 or 429.

Who wants to apply to be a tester for the Bitcointalk brdb theme? I'll warn you right away that this is a beta version. Some things don't work, like the settings, and other details need to be ironed out. You will find texts in Italian (it needs to be translated but they are understandable (learn Italian xD)) What I'm most interested in is the notification center, the BRDb tooltip, and the +Merit button tooltip.

To anyone who applies, I will send the link privately.

So where is the download link? Where is the damn link? 



To be continue....Review section after testing:

Sent in private messages, happy bug hunting! I know you'll find plenty.

There must be a way, if other are getting faster at it, there are no reason why you should be slower.
Maybe it will require yet another complete refactoring of your machinery!

There's definitely a way, I just haven't figured it out yet. In fact, I'm way below the average number of requests per second over a minute. But my scraper doesn't just grab the latest Merit TX or the latest posts written by users. It's recovering old data in the background, these are extra requests, but I could go under a minute per cycle if I wanted. Unfortunately, however, I have already had IP blocks for hours due to excessive requests, Then it becomes problematic to recover so much data

Lol, I though it was a simple theme change, you know like a sort of a dress changing. But, your tools changes the whole UIUX/Interface layouts (with cards). I was/am surely uncomfortable at first glance.

1. I do not understand the purpose of "compact Mode" and "SVG icons", I tried turning them ON/OFF, but I couldn't figure out their visible changes.

2. As you can see, the buttons are twice (note both works), you need to remove the OG ones I guess? Almost every section got duplicate buttons like this ss.



3. Duplicate action button. Private button and Stats.





4. Some things are not clearly visible when I use darker themes.



5. The Profile button (upper body) and Summery button (lower body) does exactly the same thing.

6. BRDb Theme Settings - Return to original UI (disable script) - This button is broken. I had to disable it through the script manager.

7. Cannot visit the Trust page, as I couldn't fine the a single button to it, or I'm blind.

8. Notification and Theme changing, BRDb score works though. Finally something that works!✅

Overall 3/10 (personal rating), I don't like it because you removed the Original layout. Also there are many duplicate buttons, many things are broken, so you need to work hard to fix them. For now, I could find these. And I might report more later tomorrow. Send me the fixed version when you patch the current ones. See ya...chao!

Yeah, I did find plenty (BUGS)!

I thought it was worse than that, mate!! I’ll get to work tomorrow to sort these issues out.
So you don’t like the layout??   

Have you tried sending a ‘merit’? A little magical tooltip will pop up. I’m sure you’ll like this idea.
The settings menu just needs to be made clickable. Compact mode will shrink all the cards and make them a bit more like how BitcoinTalk looks at the moment.

You must be joking, lol. I probably did not use enough words to properly express how bad it was...(because you are a good chap, and I didn't want you to get hurt, I'm just joking...)

Honestly? You made the worst possible theme ever (my personal opinion), even I like fillippone's ones better. No, I do not like the layouts at all, maybe others might like it, but I didn't and I won't. It's too much to process, you should have kept the theme minimal as possible as the OG theme looks, and then added a layer to it. But you reworked/redesigned the entire thing.

Well the compact mode is broken for sure, it did nothing, the cards were still there. As for sending merit, I just tried it, I do not like the idea, nor do I hate the idea, more like I'm on a middle ground here.

Fillippone's theme is actually beautiful and it cannot be said otherwise, this one I created completely redesigns the entire forum. Obviously you may like it or not, but it's not ugly, or rather I wouldn't consider it ugly.

I looked at some of the bugs you found, some of which don't appear in my browser. Others, like the double private message buttons, It's just a typo, they use the same label but they are 2 different things, one takes you to private messages, the other to private message settings

I'll be honest, full forum redesign is never an easy thing, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Something that may look odd to you may look good to some. Atleast you have put effort into making something different rather than copying the look of this site.

As for the buttons for private messages to send separately, that explanation works. Often a slight name problem can cause two totally different options to be perceived as duplicate. A tad bit of clarification can save you much confusion.

And about the bugs: testing can be a pain because of the different browsers! Something that works great in one could fail in another. Overall, I think that the opinions from different people are helpful, because they can spot small bugs that I haven't seen. Re-designing the site is all about improvement, and critics can help me a lot.

I'll most likely fix some bugs this evening if I have time and inclination, the bugs reported by DYING_S0UL are many, but I'll try.

Meanwhile, I wanted to know if anyone has encountered any other problems with the brdbscore userscript and notifications. I've made changes to the scraper these days, speeding it up a bit more. Now a cycle lasts less than a minute. Let me know if you encounter any problems. Thanks.

No problem with the BDRb score (from my end), they seems to be working (or showing scores) as usual. As well as the tooltip thing (or whatever you call that) and the flags.

As for the notifications part, no issue either. The reponse is quite fast as you can see below, in seconds, didn't even take a minute.

Btw, anything else you are working on? or have plans for?

I’m not currently working on any new features; in fact, I don’t have any new ideas in mind. I still need to sort out a few things I’ve left behind – they weren’t urgent, but they need doing.
If you’ve got any advice, you know I’m always open to it 

So the script isn’t causing any problems and is working as usual – brilliant, I’d say

Updated theme userscript, fixed some of the bugs you reported, not all. I'm saving some work for tomorrow 

The double navigation bar has been removed from all pages where it appeared. The link to the trusts page is now visible. I also partially fixed the settings menu with the compact mode which reduces some functionality in the threads

The texts that were previously difficult to see should all be fixed. If you want to do a new round of bug hunting, update the script. New bugs await.

Sup *Ace*, I got something, 'info' under 'Reputation' says, "...Historical users can exceed 100 or 200' — meanwhile, PowerGlove who registered in 2022 (which doesn't look, historic, does it?) has score of 213.7 as of now. I mean to say, infographic statement feels kinda wrong, doesn't it?

In my opinion, it's not wrong; it's a conditional, not a rule. The text is purely indicative, and being a longtime user doesn't necessarily mean a score in the 100-200 range. everything always depends on posts written and Merit received, a high average of Merit received per posts written gives a fairly high reputation score. And if we analyze PowerGlove more closely, I'd say the formula works pretty well. I might remove that text, however, if it leads to a misunderstanding.

If account's age doesn't actually matter in scheme of things and it all boils down to merits earned per post, then it does make sense to remove the historical users part from statement altogether.

Yas boss.
I believe that it would bring clarity to the ranking system. If the age of an account does not confer any real benefit and merit is the key thing in measuring progression, then having a distinct category for historical users could be counterproductive. The ranking system should be simple to understand for all forum members irrespective of how long ago they signed up. New forum members should be given a chance to advance just as much as the old ones.

No friends, the Age account variable is used by the script to determine whether it is a historical user or not, whether it is active or dormant. And in some ways, it's also part of the brdb score. I explained this in the first posts in this thread. I understand that it is not easy to understand the formula in all its facets, but that data is also essential.

[libert19]

^ Okay. I may have misunderstood your earlier statement. If account age matters in anything then obviously it should be kept. Actually, I am glad cause at least my account's age would be helpful for something

Well that was quick ! I'll let you know in a few hours (hopefully). BTW, same download link right?

Also, while checking the notifications I noticed something that didn't make sense to me.

As you can can see, it says admin quoted me in this post. But when you visit it, you'll see no quote or any mentions of my usernames or anything. Now there is a link in that post, which leads to one of my comment that I made in a completely different topic. So what's the story here? How does that work! The conditions I mean!

If you haven't deleted the old script, you can simply search for an update using tampermonkey or violentmonkey. You'll have the latest version available.

As for the notification, structurally it is correct, you are the owner of that post, but semantically it is wrong because it is neither a quote nor a citation, I should match them as reference.

As promised, here is the feedback.

1. Found a thing called BRDb tracker, and upon setting it up it's giving me an error. Work in progress, maybe?



2. In compact mode "Quote" button is missing. I can only use the overall "Reply" button. As for non-compact mode, no issue there.  

Compact Mode:


Non Compact Mode:


3. Trust page is accessable now. But what's with this multiple lines/mergins/paddings? Looks kinda messy!



4. The previously reported duplicate action buttons, or the UI is fixed now.

5. The Negative feedback always shows in Red, but here it wasn't! You need to fix that. I'm referring to the trust page!

6. There is no white flash in your theme. Cool! How did you fix that?

1. One particular bug I wanna point out that I noticed with every other theme (including yours). When I'm in a darkish theme, there is a split second white flash, very tiny seconds. So, see if you can eliminate that. That flash is basically the original BTT theme before the CSS code loads.

about the flash i already trying to solved that few times, but i have to accpet that, this is just a scripts, browser may load this script slower few millisecond, that why flashing keep happens. even i tried to hide OG theme before the skins fully loaded, but it doesn't work as i want so far  

So far this is all I got! Comparing with masulums' theme with yours, I find his to be much more cleaner btw.
