adaliabooks: You could use the AJAX call made when you hover over an avatar in the forum to retrieve info about a user including there date joined, providing you have their userId (which I presume should be somewhere not to difficult to find)
Does that contain data on the exact date?

Yes.

Yours reads:
"userSince":1317215566
The units are epoch (seconds from 1 January 1970).

You can use this site to convert it into a human date (Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:12:46 GMT).

Nice :) Thanks, adalia. The timestamp is far more accurate than "days since joined" too, so that should solve the give-or-take-a-day problem we've had until now as well.

No problem :)
You have to multiply it by a 1000 first as for some reason it's on seconds rather than milliseconds (I couldn't figure out why all the dates were im January 1970 at first)
I found a bug with Essentials...

Chat notifications aren't shown. I have "show new messages" selected under notification options. When I first load the page, they show up for a split second then disappear. When i hover over "Account" I can see them next to "Chat", but they're not next to "Account" up top.

Yes. Been that way for many months.
No idea if it's the same even without BE, because I haven't disabled BE in years.

Yay, I finally came up with a way to tamper efficiently with GOG's angular.js from Greasemonkey, which means we'll have correct notifications at last. Expect an update... soon...

Version 2.3.7 is now up and available for Greasemonkey users. It's also been submitted to Google, so Chrome users should expect this update to arrive for them too shortly.

This version focuses on fixing something that's been bugging me for a while, and other people too (it happens to be a recent topic for discussion in this very thread). Since GOG added angular.js to the website Barefoot Essentials' "hide navigation bar alerts" feature has been tending to get the total number of alerts wrong, and often hiding alerts when it shouldn't or not hiding them when it should.

Barefoot Essentials 2.3.7 contains a brand new implementation of the "hide navigation bar alerts" feature which properly interacts with the angular.js code, finally fixing this problem.

It sounds like you've got it sorted, but if you need a hand I've gotten pretty good at hacking the site's angular for my script.
Cheers a bunch! Any chance/way to have an option for "Friends" too?

Yup. Probably tomorrow.
The update is working really well, notifications have appeared properly for me now :-)

Since I actually liked that bug... if I disable notifications for chat messages at the navigation bar, does that mean they'll only show if I hover about the account menu next the the chat option?

[edit] Ok, I found out myself that it works that way :D

Thank you so much for another update, Barefoot_Monkey!

I wanted to ask about one thing: since I love themes in Firefox, how difficult/much work would it be to have user-created navigation bar themes (background images)? Would be a cool thing, people could create ones for their favorite games for example. No more grey navbar :)
