This addon for Firefox patches this dragon age forum, improving it on many aspect. It mainly removes clutter and makes it more readable for higher resolutions.

This has been developed and tested for Firefox users. However it should work for Chrome, Opera, and a few others assuming GreaseMonkey works with them. (I just won't support these browsers because I won't have the time.)

A little preview?

- Screenshot 01 (forum list)
- Screenshot 02 (topic list)
- Screenshot 03 (posts inside a topic)

Quick Install
=========

1) Install GreaseMonkey if you don't have it already
2) Install the forum interface tweak (click the install button on the right)
3) Suscribe to the project to get notifications of future updates. (And put a point into its popularity if you like it!)

Suggestions, feedback, and feature requests are welcome.

Very nice, the elimination of the sidebar of all but the homepage really frees up a ton of space (kind of like users have been saying from the beginning).



Feature request (if possible): Shrink these damned avatar pictures to something less overwhelming. On one or two line posts (Of which there will be more of thanks to this plugin) there is a ton of blank space to scroll past all of the time.

The posts have a minimal height and you can't be smaller than a limited value (it has invisible placeholder elements like the bioware developer icon).. So even if I reduce the avatar sizes, it won't reduce the height by more than a line or two. Also it doesn't look good with tiny avatars to be honest. :)

Enh, it was worth a shot. Scrolling for 20 minutes to read 4 lines of text can get annoying :)

Why did you change the art surrounding the forums, though? The black and grey is very pleasing on the eyes when you alt+tab out of the game to read a few posts. That bright white banner is painful!

Hm, i use the dragonage theme (black and red) and see no difference at all.

Seifz, I did it because most people are not aware of the dragon age forum theme with the red morrigan backgrounds. From the little feedback I got the past days, it seems forcing that forum design is a desired feature so I integrated it.

However if you go to projects, groups, or any other part of the social site you should get the black and grey header. I only forced the red dragon design for the forum.

But I will see if there is a compromise to be found. Either I force only the red background, and leave the header from the user theme of choice. Or I make a new header with a red dragon on a darker background (replace the white).

The next version will replace the header.

Here is a preview.

Would it be possible with this sort of plugin to make the Bioware image on the topic list actually list all the Bioware posts in said topic that merited the image in the first place (like in the old forums)?

In order to list all posts by bioware in a topic, the plugin would have to read all posts from multiple pages in a topic even if there is 50 of them (some stickied topics can get very big). This is complex to do, and the end result would be slow and not exactly fun to use.



I am afraid this kind of option has to be part of the base forum functionality. I am hoping the Bioware webmasters will eventually get around to it. (It would be easy and quick to add this functionality for someone having access to the forum database.)

Yes, you're probaboy right there. I've used a few de-pagination scripts and they've all driven me crazy after a while by their slowness.

Oh well, let's hope the forum developers get to their senses soon then :)

The social site does not seem to have an option to delete a file. In all cases, if you download the script from here make sure to download the latest version. (The one at the top of the download list.)

Prefer the way Bioware intended it personally, sorry :)
