Thanks a ton for the super quick update, very much appreciated, as always.
The forum links on game pages don't show for me anymore. They displayed just fine until last night, and I made no changes to my settings since then. Is there a problem, or is it just me?

I see the links. Using BE on Firefox 2 (but not Adalia's)

Seems to be working for me too. Which browser version are you using? If it's Firefox, pressing ctrl+shift+J to open the browser console to see if there's anything interesting there. It's probably full of things from other sites, so press alt+r to clear the console, then go back to your main browser window and open or refresh one of the gog game pages that's giving you trouble, then check that browser console again. If there was an error that stopped a script from running you should be able to see it there.

Sorry, got my links and scripts mixed. madth3 is right, it's the changelog links that don't show anymore, the forum links show just fine.

Off to ping adaliabooks.
Hi Barefoot_Monkey, thanks for this amazing script! Can't live without it anymore!

Have you ever considered to add pcgamingwiki.com links on gamecards, right below GOGWiki and Discussions? I'm looking for something like this since months, and it would be great to have it in your script.

Great job, really. All the best!

Version 2.14 is released. This version adds a feature to detect if there is currently a Connect promotion running, and also adds a measure to prevent accidentally double-posting from the Quick Post.

Nice, how did you manage that?

And is it possible to do something similar for non quick posts?

Cheers.

Could you explain how exactly the prevention measure for Quick Post works?

And does that "automatically" mean that the GOG Connect tag that's stalking me around will disappear on its own when the promo ends?
Also, don't mean to be ungrateful, but how difficult would it be to add it to the account tab instead? Or at least add an option to turn it off?

Cheers again for the new features.

Well, when you press the submit button or Ctrl+Enter the script sends an asynchronous request to GOG's server which adds your post to the topic, and when the request is completed successfully it loads the last page of the topic so that you can see what you just wrote.

However, it was possible to submit multiple times before that asynchronous request has finished, resulting in double-posts. All I needed to do was not allow any more posts to be submitted until the previous request has finished.

If non-quick posts have the same problem then yes, I should be able to fix that too. Tampering with the website's behaviour is a bit more work than simply updating my own code though.

For now it will keep stalking you until the promo is over, but "phase 2" of the feature (which I'm already working on) is to be able to click an X to dismiss the message, but have it reappear if new games get added mid-promo.

Putting it in the account menu wouldn't really make sense because my intention isn't so much to provide a link to Connect as it is to have an unmistakeable visual alert to tell you that new games are available. I'll probably completely overhaul the appearance once all the functionality I want is there.

You can already disable it from the "Misc" page in the options.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you had found a way to warn you if your post was going to be merged with a previous one because of the 10 minute double post thing.

Nevermind :)

I'd love to figure out how to prevent consecutive posts from merging :)

I think we'll need server-side Barefoot-ServerEssentials installed on GOG's webservers for that. :)

Awesome, thanks for that!
