A Rep-Identifying Bookmarklet

[wobbegong]

Most of the ones I've got signed "MF" were actually by AtW

Same here. The weasely little man hasn't even got the balls to sign his own -ive repping.

I've had that, for some post of either scintillating wit or exceptional stupidity/offensiveness.

Each rep has it's own entry, with a unique post ID and user ID.

I see that now. I had just never posted anything that more than one person thought worthwhile repping before.

You could always try a "My Lunch" thread. If you don't mind multiple negs!

I just tried this in Chrome and it thought I was doing a search for that long expression. I'm sure it worked before, is this a change to CUK or to Chrome?

1. Copy the following (very long) line of code (a triple-click anywhere in the code box ought to select it all):
   
   (N.B. This is the new, more efficient version; the old version is left below for completeness.)
   
   

   javascript:(function(){var memberURL, i, limit, reputationItem, userId, reputationList = document.getElementById("latest_reputation"),reputationItems = reputationList.getElementsByTagName("li"),connections = [],insertUsernameForId = function(element, id) {var connection;if (id in connections) { connection = connections[id];connection.elements[connection.elements.length] = element;} else {connection = connections[id] = {"http": new XMLHttpRequest(),"elements": [element]};memberURL = self.location.protocol + "//" + self.location.host + "/member.php/" + id;connection.http.open("GET", memberURL, true);connection.http.onreadystatechange = function(connection) {return function() {if (connection.http.readyState == 4) {var i, limit, elements, text = connection.http.responseText,username = /<title>View Profile: (.*) - Contractor UK Bulletin Board<\/title>/.exec(text)[1];for (i = 0, elements = connection.elements, limit = elements.length; i < limit; i++) {elements[i].appendChild(document.createElement("p")).appendChild(document.createElement("b")).appendChild(document.createTextNode("Repped by: " + username));}}};}(connection);connection.http.send("");}};for (i = 0; reputationItem = reputationItems[i]; i++) {userId = /[^_]\d*$/.exec(reputationItem.id)[0];insertUsernameForId(reputationItem, userId);}})()

   (N.B. This is the old version; use the one above instead, as it's more efficient, and also makes cooler use of closures, lambda calculus, partially applied functions, and stuff like that.)
   
   

   javascript:(function() {var http, memberURL;var reputationList = document.getElementById("latest_reputation");var reputationItems = reputationList.getElementsByTagName("li");var t = [];var readystatechangeFactory = function(http, element, id) {return function() {if (http.readyState == 4) {var text = http.responseText;var userId = /<title>View Profile: (.*) - Contractor UK Bulletin Board<\/title>/.exec(text)[1];element.appendChild(document.createElement("p")).appendChild(document.createElement("b")).appendChild(document.createTextNode("Repped by: " + userId));}}};for (var i = 0, l = reputationItems.length, userId; i < l; i++) {http = new XMLHttpRequest();userId = /[^_]\d*$/.exec(reputationItems[i].id)[0];memberURL = self.location.protocol + "//" + self.location.host + "/member.php/" + userId;http.open("GET", memberURL, true);http.onreadystatechange = readystatechangeFactory(http, reputationItems[i], userId);http.send("");}})()

2. Go to your settings page;
   
   
3. Paste the code you just copied into your location bar;
   
   
4. Hit Enter.

Wait a few seconds for the code to fetch the data, and each of your reps will acquire an additional line giving the username of the person who awarded it

You can turn that code into a bookmark on your bookmarks bar, for easy use in future, but the steps vary depending on browser; try having a look at the info in Wikipedia: Bookmarklet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'll post a neatly-formatted version of the code below for those who want to check out how it works - it's pretty trivial

Did it find this thread?

I think it must be Chrome, it works fine in Firefox.

Yes

[TimberWolf]

I tried it in all my browsers and no joy.

I tried it in all my browsers and no joy.

I've found that the leading bit of the snippet gets cut off when copying and pasting.

Edit just tried it again in IE and it worked fine!

I found the only way to get it working on chrome was to add it as a tampermonkey script and then set it to only run on the appropriate page.
