Did you looked at the screenshot, its a extension so its free just like hundreds of other extensions. I'm not getting a dime for it. It works on this forum. So its relevant thread. You guys are just too fast n furious with keyboard. If mods thinks that its spam then they or I can delete the thread.

Interesting. :hmm: It probably belongs in [thread=2019367]this thread[/thread].

Why couldn't you make it a simple Greasemonkey extension? Like, say, The Reiconizer for vBulletin? ;)

Look, you don't come onto the busiest subforum of a busy forum with only a dozen posts and less than 4 months under your belt posting links to shit you've created. That's called spam. If you want to be a participating member of this forum then fine, but you don't start your forum life with spam links.

LOL I tried the extension just for the hell of it - firstly, I see absolutely no utility for this, but different people have different habits so I'm sure someone will find it useful. But it absolutely KILLS performance with 100 threads per page (which I think is the forum default). It makes browsing the forum near impossible.

My settings are set to 30 threads per page. Not sure if that's forum default. 100 threads is just too much, especially if those threads have tons of images. But some newer machines with good internet connection might handle it without a cry. So far on my laptop I get choked on particular sections of art and animation forums which are rich in large size images.

Its still a work in progress as I need to add some more features to it. Right now there aren't that many users of this extension, I don't want to spend time on it if people aren't going to use it.
