Hi, suchmoon!
I don't know if you have noticed, but the Bpip bot seems interrupted due to the Cloudflare issues. While Loycebot and TryninjaBot started working yesterday.

As a result, the BPIP extension shows an incorrect number of earned merits in the user's profile.

The BPIP website couldn't scrap data, and it's almost two days back (If I am not wrong).

For your info, the Merits page from the user profile still shows the correct data. I am not sure how it shows the correct data.

Very thoughtful project and visiting this thread for very first time. I am not sure how is it different from the actual website but isn’t there should be feature such as notifying the user about live merit sending and receipts. For example, giving chrome/Firefox notification if I receive the merit even after let’s say I am not using the bitcointalk but the my browser is on. Since BPIP anyway shows the merit status on their web version I am sure this can be added in the browser extension itself.

(I know it shows on the display, I am talking about being notified by browser itself).

The tool is already amazing but just little thought to put in.

Well, Some updates disabled Tampermopnkey. With a couple of clicks, it is now up and running. I thought the red X on the Greasemonkey menu was an effect of the disabled, not the cause! Clicking it converted to a green check mark, and the extension started working again.

I think there are settings that have changed automatically since the Tampermopnkey update on the Safari browser, so make sure the enable/disabled script that has been added to Greasemonkey so that the extension is working and running normally.

Even though I don't use the Safari browser, every extension that has been installed must pay attention to the small X icon which means the extension is disabled on the Google Chrome menu bar, for example the Internet Download Manager (IDM) extension can be disabled automatically with just 1 click on the IDM icon, and click again to enable again.

Any suggestion on where I can head, to have this fixed?

I don't know if Safari have any available alternatives for Tampermonkey, but you should check for Greasemonkey, Violentmonkey or something similar.
You can also always use Firefiox and Brave browser instead of Safari.

I have been using Bpip extension successfully in Safari via Tampermonkey.
Since the last Apple OS Update 13.4, the extension has stopped working.
It works regularly on Chrome instead.

Are you using tampermonkey with anything else? Curious if it is tampermonkey itself or the BPIP extension, I don't use tampermonkey myself so I'm not as familiar with it.

Make sure Safari updated correctly with MacOS update and isn't being packaged separately, check the version number under Safari / About Safari, then check for any potential software updates that may be lingering after 13.4 by going back to the updates area in system settings. With Apple, things usually break because of security changes where it may not trust tampermonkey and/or the BPIP extension anymore and will stop it from executing correctly.

So after testing, this is the issue:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Please set webextensions.storage.sync.enabled to true in about:config

This is disabled because Tor tries to avoid anything writing to the disk, so it's not letting the extension save the settings, enabling this setting allows all extensions to do this. I don't think there is a way to only allow the BPIP extension, but this settings adjustment got things saving again for me.

Just to let you know my TOR browser just updated to version 12.0.5 ^{(from an older version 11.X - without being prompted to do so)} and like TheBeardedBaby all of my BPIP choices had toggled to OFF and wouldn't remain toggled ON.

May I suggest you add a screen shot such as this to the first post to alert other users when their browsers update and they find their instance of BPIP ^{(mine is ver 2.2.5)} also grinding to a halt.

Thanks.

Thank you, I'll test it and let you know the outcome

Here's the case.

TOR browser restarted after update. Current version is 12.0.3 ( see below)

I had the BPIP add-on installed on THE browser for a very long time now and never had issues.
Now when I go to add-ons options and toggle something after refresh it toggles back to "disabled": here's some shots.

And after F5 >

Tested everything on Firefox. All is good, here are the default options enabled after the add-on installation.

At the end I trashed the old TOR and downloaded a fresh one>

Again, after I installed the BPIP add-on, all the options are disabled.

And after you make a change, it goes back to disabled. Sad

hi, just a question, how does the "inactive" status work? I mean, how long does someone need to be offline to get that status or how does someone need to be active in order for the status to disappear? is it a bug?

Quote from: acroman08 on February 23, 2023, 02:51:08 PM

I am just curious because I saw someone(grumpygit) having the "inactive" status even though the guy has been posting since Feb 21, 2023.

The status should have probably been removed (and the profile auto-refreshed) when BPIP logged the account waking up, but in this case the main reason it was still showing inactive was because the profile had last been parsed/refreshed '4 days' ago.. before I hit 'Refresh Profile' a few minutes ago, which removed the inactive status.

The way I read suchmoon's post is that the official Firefox doesn't allow the extension anymore, but the Tor browser still allows it.

Yes. Tor Browser is based on an older version of Firefox (v68; the one the breaks extensions is v79) so it will likely support the extensions for some time until they decide to force an upgrade.

Tor 12 - Firefox V102
Tor 11 - Firefox V91
Tor 10 - Firefox V78.3

Based on the conversation above, and looking through current release notes, it looks like after Tor V10 it might start using a version of firefox that does the whole "recommended" extensions stuff, which may be part of the issue, I haven't tested it yet myself though.

After the last tor update, the extension is no longer working. All the options are disabled, and if I try to enable them again, after a refresh they go to disabled again.
Any tips??

What version of Tor did you use before you updated?

I think last extension update was released years ago, somewhere in December 2020, so it must be something related with your browser.
I tested on Firefox and Chrome based browsers using BPIP extension 2.2.5 and everything works fine in both cases.
Try installing different browser and test how everything works, but I think this could be related with your browser last update, not with extension.

I had noticed that about once every couple of weeks, I have to restart Chrome because the extension is not showing up.. .. but I don't really have any knowledge regarding why the extension stops working.. perhaps sometimes I restart Chrome (or maybe Chrome forces closed or has too much cache memory filled up and slows down) and the BPIP Extension disappears and then I notice that it is not there, and then I restart Chrome again, and then the extension loads back up properly.

Which browser do you use?
everything is normal with me in both Chrome and Firefox. When you close that pop-up window (in Chrome) for additional options, are you allowed to access the bitcointalk site?
Also on the permissions tab in Firefox.

Not sure if this has been asked or answered before, but I have noticed the bpip dashboard for different users seems different from what I am currently using..And I have seen about 3-4 versions of the dashboard which has lead me here, Is there a likelihood an update to the extension was released to have bpip display like the pictures have gathered below or perhaps features differ with browser being used Huh

If you're asking about "Earned Merit" etc, these features need to be enabled in extension settings (disabled by default due to privacy reasons). You can access the settings by clicking the extension button in the toolbar. You should see something like this:
