It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
I just tested a clean installation on Chrome and it works for me. Could you refresh the page (while on profile) with your browser's console open to see if there is any error message?
The note should be at the top, as shown in the screenshot:
First of all, create a separate ANN thread for this. That would help to reach more users.
@TryNinja: do it please!
Until then: @Little Mouse: can you change the topic title to something else than a question? For instance: "TryNinja's user script to put notes on users"
2. When I visit the user profile, I can't see the note. Possible to put it there too?
You should (screenshot number 1 and 2). What's your browser? Any other custom script/extension that modifies the forum page?
I'm using Google Chrome and I didn’t have any other script for bitcointalk until yesterday. After I have tested your script, I tried the bpip extension too. But that's after checking with your script. I have tried a few times to check through user profile. Is it something I missed? I was looking for the notes beside the personal text option. Maybe I didn’t notice. I'm not on my pc now. So, I have check it again lol.
4. I would hate to see other people's notes in public. So, consider not importing them and making them public.
All notes are saved locally, in your browser's storage, so this is not possible. No one can see your notes except you (unless TryNinja changes the code). It is good that the code is open source, so we can evaluate it independently.
@TryNinja, I would love to see this integrated into the BPIP extension, as dkbit98 suggested. Is that possible?
You both are right, I just successfully did the installation on my PC and it worked, but coming back to my smartphone, there is no trace of such a feature. Maybe in the future, theymos will have the feature in-built into bitcointalk or make it possible to add the code directly to bitcointalk to make the feature available across different devices and browsers, just the same way we add signature codes to our profile with one device, and the signature displays across all devices and browsers.
when I visit the forum on my smartphone, do i still get the "Add Note" link?
I'll answer that, if I may. No, you have to have a browser that supports extensions installed on your smartphone. This is needed to install the Tampermonkey (Chrome) or Greasemonkey (FireFox) extension and then install the script. Of browsers based on Chromium, I know only one - it is Kiwi Browser. I use it myself. And FireFox supports extensions by default, if I'm not mistaken.
I have a noob question by the way, if I follow the installation process on my PC and every thing works as it should, when I visit the forum on my smartphone, do i still get the "Add Note" link?
How about this! I installed it to my PC and now when you are using it from your smartphone, should you see it on there too? 😂
No is the answer. 😉
Use common sense. Your PC and smartphone are two different devices. Even different browser in the same PC are different app which means if you install the code in Firefox then in the same PC you are not seeing it from Google Chrome. You will need to install it on Google Chrome too to see the notes.
TryNinja created something really incredible and highly interesting here. I have a noob question by the way, if I follow the installation process on my PC and every thing works as it should, when I visit the forum on my smartphone, do i still get the "Add Note" link?
Asking because 95 percent of the time, I access the forum via my smartphone, so I wanna be sure it will work on my smartphone after installing the code via my computer, If it's not gonna work, then I shouldnt bother maybe.
This one is cool. I just have checked out it and it works perfectly and is exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend you a few suggestions which I think would add more value to the script. First of all, create a separate ANN thread for this. That would help to reach more users.
1. Change the color of "Add Note" to blue. 2. When I visit the user profile, I can't see the note. Possible to put it there too? 3. When we re-write the note, I'm expecting to see the previous text in the input box. 4. I would hate to see other people's notes in public. So, consider not importing them and making them public. .
These are my personal suggestions/recommendations if you are considering further development.
[...] It seems like Greasymonkey (Firefox version) has some breaking differences from Tampermonkey (Chrome). Update the script (same post) and it should work now.
It's working now finally 😉
Nice work there brother. Little Mouse must have got his answer by now and it helped me too. I was never into these extensions before although seen a lot of you were using them.
Guys please rain TryNinja with merit. Once Theirmos will start accepting merit source application, I may consider applying LOL
Yes I did but as you see there are nothing for me.
I am using Firefox with tor connection. Is that a problem? It should not be though.

Did you manage to install the script? You should see the "Add Note" text on everyone's profile and post (see the image above). Just click on it and a prompt should pop up. You can also click the note (i.e the "good guy!" in the image) to edit or remove the note.

Off- topic: By the way for Liverpool fans. We won finally and it's 9 -0 🤣 Bournemouth has been destroyed!

Install the Tampermonkey extension if you are using any Chromium based browser (Chrome, Brave, Opera...) or Greasemonkey if you are using Firefox (untested)
Then open the extension's popup/page -> Add new script -> Paste the code and save.
Dammit 😘 I am going to ask another stupid question LOL
Now how do I add note to users? Laugh as much as you can but I can not see an input box 🤣
Edit: I already reloaded my browser but still see nothing.
Nice work as usual TryNinja, this is exactly what I was looking for years! Now my 50 BTC question, how complicated would be to import this to BPIP extension? I am not counting potential bribe we could pay to suchmoon for updating extension again
PS One thing I would like to see is option to backup and import all notes.

P.S: This is stored locally and only works with TamperMonkey (and GreaseMonkey + forks probably). Maybe I can add an option to list all notes and import/export if it's usefull.

Nice thing. Do you have a set of instruction to install it. I am not a good guy who tried browser extensions before. Still old school who does things manually LOL
How about good old bookmarks? Create a "notes on users" Folder, bookmark the profile and Name it "This guy asked about keeping notes". When I visit your profile, there's a star in the address bar, and when I click it, I'm reminded you're the one who asked about keeping notes. You won't see it on posts, but you can easily find it back and it works on any site/browser without increased security risk.
edit: updated to 0.3, check the new thread for more info.
I created something, what do you think?

There are a lot of custom scripts here to track/check many stats. But I'm looking for some custom script if available here so that instead of putting a neutral tag NOTE, I can add note for specific user and whenever I interact with that user, I will see that note. This may not help a lot users but it would be beneficial for me.
