Done.

I didn't read the whole thread, just the OP and quickly glanced at a few posts to verify that no one written the script already.

Cool. One last thing, updating screenshot of your script to finish, please. Your username should be displayed at first position in screenshot. Wink

Looks good, but it might be better if you can sort username to the first displayed name in list of merit senders in each posts/ threads. I think it is what users ask for. For small posts/ threads, that received unsignificant merits, it does not matter. Nevertheless, for huge posts/ threads, that received hundreds of merits from many users, if you only merited minor merits (one, two, three, example) your name will be listed and bolded in very last position. So, current version of your userscript will not help too much.

Strange that no one has made it yet, here's a script for this:

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name     Bitcointalk Highlight My Name in Merit
// @version  1.0
// @grant    none
// @include        https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=*
// @run-at         document-end
// ==/UserScript==
;[...document.querySelectorAll(".td_headerandpost")].forEach(post => {
    let myName = document.querySelector("#hellomember b").textContent
    let allMerits = [...post.querySelectorAll(".smalltext i > a")]
    let myMerit = allMerits.find(e => e.textContent === myName)
    if (myMerit) {
        myMerit.style["font-weight"] = 1000
        if (allMerits.indexOf(myMerit) !== 0) {
            let myScore = myMerit.nextSibling
            post.querySelector(".smalltext i").removeChild(myMerit)
            post.querySelector(".smalltext i").removeChild(myScore)
            allMerits[0].before(myScore)
            myScore.before(myMerit)
        }
    }
})

Afaik all smartphones browsers come with 'find' function.

Let me know which browser you use I'll help you use find function)

Forum software has never been smartphone-friendly in particular, or mobile-devices-friendly in general. It is good to have that function for lists of merit senders/donators to OPs, but it is still good enough to accept and keep using current version.
This function is more important and more meaningful when users look at threads with unsignificants received merits, and from limited merit senders. Because those threads are helpful, and have not yet received too many merits, so if readers have available sendable merits, they should spend some of their sendable merits to those OPs.

For huge merit-received OPs, it is good to send more merits to OPs, but it is still fine if readers don't send more to OPs.

Thanks for pointing that out although not everyone uses a computer to access the forum, majority should be using their smartphone which aren't equiped with this function. OP"s suggestion will benefit both Mobile and Laptop users as it can be easily spotted without any effort.

@iasenko ok I get it although I would had prefer It to be more visible with highlighted red color. If this suggestions was to be implemented it should be red.

My proposal is:
- Username of logged-in user appear first in the list of merit senders
- Top merit senders after logged-in username.
- A drop-down list of merit senders (in descending orders). That list will help to save more space under topic title; and if anyone want to click on drop-down list. This feature can be modified in profile page.

I second that.

I’m pretty sure that the order of the Meriter names on a given post is based on these three factors in the following order of priority:

1. Total number of sMerits (he could have merited it more than once) awarded to to the post by the profile (descending order).
2. Activity of the profile (descending).
3. Registry date (oldest first).

Therefore, if two or more profiles have awarded the same number of sMerits to a given post, the leftmost name will be that with most Activity. If even so two or more profiles have the same Activity, then the leftmost will be the profile that was registered first.

That means that activity changes alone modify the order.

Why is the creation date of the bitcointalk account an important factor?

I don't think it's important, it's probably an arbitrary choice. Trust settings uses the same order. From a programmer's perspective it makes sense to just sort the (user) numbers.

Quote from: akhjob on August 20, 2019, 03:55:25 AM

By "oldest account first", LoyceV tried to mean the account which merited the post first followed by the subsequent accounts meriting the same amount of merits.

No, that's not what I meant. It's also not how it's sorted.

I guess then your facts are wrong atleast for this post - Jammu & Kashmir Special Status (Article 370) Ends!!

As you can see, both nutildah and Totscha have given 2 merits each to the post.

nutildah is a legendary member and registered on April 19, 2014. He merited the said post on Aug 7, 2019 07:07:08 AM

Totscha is a hero member but registered on Sep 12, 2013. He merited the said post on Aug 7, 2019 07:10:40 AM

Of the two, Totscha's account is the oldest. If its sorted by oldest first, Totscha's name should be shown before nutildah. But thats not the case here. ~~So I think it's sorted based on the time of giving merit.~~

Edit: So the order is (all in descending)
1. Number of merits
2. Activity
3. User ID (oldest user first)

theymos has confirmed this to be the order

Pretty sure it's first by merit awarded for that post (obviously), then by activity.

Right. And in case of equal activity, member ID is the tiebreaker.

So if your account is older than mine but we send the same amount of merits for the same post, your name would appear before before mine every time?

No. By "oldest account first", LoyceV tried to mean the account which merited the post first followed by the subsequent accounts meriting the same amount of merits.

@iasenko, I don't think this feature is required for everyone. Maybe a select few like the merit sources need them. I think a userscript/addon is all that is required here if you are not comfortable with ctrl+f. Why don't you try posting your request here?

Resend Merits can’t be considered a problem because you originally sent Merits to that user. In fact, I do this when I have a lot of source sMerits and I don't have time to resend those merits. Remember you have basically considered it as high-quality posts

That's correct, sending merits to an account for s post twice isn't actually a problem, it's fine if the action was done intentionally, for example someone with limited Smerits can merit a post once due to lack of smerits and come back to merit them again after a refill.

The suggestion I think was for people who send merits twice unintentionally, probably due to the fact they couldn't spot their usernames easily to know if they had sent merits to the post initially.

I like your suggestion! I sometimes Merit a thread again even though I've already Merited it, when I realize I only sent 1 or 2 Merit the first time, and OP has been updating the topic for many months. I tend to easily overlook threads like this, while I Merit new threads more often.
Highlighting my own name looks useful

Quote from: Pmalek on August 19, 2019, 04:42:18 AM

Alternatively the meriters could be listed alphabetically. That way it would be a bit easier to find your name if it is on the list.

The current sorting priority is:
1. Most Merit first
~~2. Oldest account first~~
2. First Meriting user first (thanks akhjob)

It is a good suggestion iasenko and it makes sense to be able to see your name in either a different color or in bold.

I had to laugh at the first image--I recently mentioned how crazy it was in the first few days of the merit system, which a lot of newbies are probably unaware of. But you only have to look at how many merits Theymos got for that announcement to see my point, or all the merits other members got in the same thread.

Anyway, I kind of like your idea, iasenko. This forum could use some enhancements to spice things up, and I wish Theymos would follow some of the suggestions being made, like yours and the ones about reporter badges and so forth. At the very least, it'd make things more visually appealing and more colorful.

Months ago, people complained that why threads published years ago or inactive thread or inactive users received hundreds of merits. Threads, OPs don't need merits. Users used their merit more generously early days, but it is not reason to complain why they sent merits to theymos, satoshi, Hal Finney and other famous users. Merits were used correctly, anyway.

Quote from: theymos on January 24, 2018, 06:00:11 PM

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

It is just a requrested idea, but I don't think there are very convincing reasons to come back huge threads - that already received hundreds of merits to send OPs additional merits. There are more others need merits and deserve merits for their good contributions, but still not yet receive merits for their good posts.

Indeed, I don't see the benefits of giving merit to post already having a bunch of them.

I don't think newbies have much merits to send XD

Quote from: TheBeardedBaby on August 19, 2019, 02:27:19 AM

maybe it was intentional, maybe by mistake, but I think I already have enough merit and those could be sent to someone who actually can use it.

I see no point to have more than 1000, the only advantage is that you can to send more merit to other people, but again you can request to be a merit source.
