Feb 6, 2015 at 19:53 comment added Fabby bash counts! ;-)
Feb 6, 2015 at 14:25 comment added Elder Geek @Fabby My status: Considering a javascript class. I haven't programmed since BASIC/COBOL/FORTRAN except for a bit in Virtual Basic (gag) unless you count BASH....
Feb 5, 2015 at 13:48 comment added Fabby @ElderGeek: Just talked to Oli in Chat and his reply was: "@Fabby Yeah I've seen. It needs an amount of work to bring it up to date. I would guess that element names have change (and the Greasemonkey side of things has certainly changed too). It's possible to resurrect but I'm busy." So I'm going to have a look at GreaseMonkey first, then try to make something from scratch and then copy Oli's existing source into mine as I don't really have a clue what I'm doing right now... What's your status on this?
Feb 3, 2015 at 16:08 comment added Fabby Me too, except when I've asked a question already (and a draft has been saved) then it detects correctly that I'm doing something already, so it is running. Just haven't figured out what the heck is wrong yet...
Feb 3, 2015 at 14:26 comment added Elder Geek No dice with GreaseMonkey either. I just get the ask page with a link that says I can't see my problem here, ask a new question! Possible interference from a different addon? I removed scriptish prior to install if that matters...
Feb 3, 2015 at 14:12 comment added Elder Geek @Fabby Thanks for the tip..
Feb 2, 2015 at 20:05 comment added Fabby @ElderGeek I couldn't get it to work on scriptish neither. GreaseMonkey works flawlessly! Debugging it now! >:)
Jan 29, 2015 at 23:32 comment added Elder Geek I couldn't get this to function on Firefox 35.01 Am I missing a scriptish option or something? I see the scriptish indicator and the count goes to 1 on the ask page but it doesn't appear to run. User script commands is greyed out if that's relavent.
Mar 17, 2014 at 1:12 comment added Seth Mod Hey Oli, are you still planning on working on this? If I come up with a basic Q --> Q/A map will you still be able to implement it?
Feb 5, 2014 at 18:30 comment added Flyk This script hijacked my account and made me submit 100 edits. ;)

Sep 4, 2013 at 10:03 comment added Raja G @Oli well as I have seen , there should be some more improvements in the tag area. I can not post the questions, :( . searching is good while posting the questions.
Sep 4, 2013 at 7:29 comment added Raja G its useful. as I have seen some issues which deals with device of the system needs their specification details and new comers wont do that because they dont know. So at the time of posting the question only we are asking them to post specifications. good Idea.
Sep 3, 2013 at 3:48 comment added Mark Henderson We have a similar, but different, problem on [ServerFault]. I have blatantly stolen your idea and posted it over there; I hope you don't mind. If our community likes the idea too it could become a collaborative effort: meta.serverfault.com/q/5821/7709
Aug 25, 2013 at 16:16 comment added Simon Brilliant! The font size is perhaps too large, if the Testing Data or the Suggested Answer could be placed in a variable sized scrolling div (related to screen size) to keep the "Restart Wizard" link and the "I can't see my problem here, ask a new question" on screen it would be even better.

Aug 22, 2013 at 17:00 comment added guntbert networking: while ifconfig shows statistics too (which ip ad does not) and should be kept for now I'd prefer ip route instead of route -n - the netmasks are much easier to read.

Aug 22, 2013 at 16:24 comment added Oli Mod @AmithKK In short, it adds forms to the page, stores that data in memory and if they decide they want to ask a new question, the javascript writes that collected data into the ask form, nicely pre-formatted. It's not sending it anywhere. It's all client-side, in-browser.
Aug 22, 2013 at 16:09 comment added Amith KK Can a userscript gather system information ? Are you going to have some offline python app or something to do that?
Aug 22, 2013 at 15:32 comment added Oli Mod No that was Django; that made me happy. This is made with sweat, blood and other vile and unmentionable humors. I really hate Javascript.
Aug 22, 2013 at 15:30 comment added Jorge Castro No "made with love and unicorns by Oli" this time?
