The Pocket app (getpocket.com) is seriously awesome, especially for people on the go. Adding a 1-click send to pocket would be awesome.

I can write out a comment and hit submit but then it never shows up anywhere. This seems to be a new issue within the past days/weeks?

When you click reply, HNES creates an inline reply box. When I try to submit a new post from this, it doesn't appear on the page, and I can't use back or anything to get the text back - it's just gone. Replying from the box at the top of an item page - either a full thread, or an individual comment - works fine.

I'm getting this behavior on Chrome stable on Mac OS and Windows 7.

I might take a look at this myself, if you're open to a pull request.

On March 15, 2014 hnsearch.com will be moving to hn.algolia.com. Since HNES relies on the HNSearch API, this will have to be updated to use the new API here.

I noticed that extracted domain has the last character removed.

Every now again HNES seems to break. The first hint of this happening is when the background colour changes from HN's usual "mustard" tint to a much lighter, almost white colour. Then eventually this happens:

And the extension is more or less unusable.

I'm running the latest vesion (1.2.0.14). If I disable the extension for a few days then re-enable, everything seems to right itself.

I'm not sure if HN tinker with their CSS or table layout periodically causing the extension to trip up. I did try to debug this but front end hacking is not my forte.

I'm running with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Chrome 32.

Sometimes you visit hckrnews.com and the last time you visited isn't on the main page. After you press the "Get Next Day" link you should still see the "Last Visit" line appear in the appropriate position.

Seems like 'more' is being read as a url.

I noticed that the points count next to comments went from the left side to the right recently:

I don't see a commit message for this so I'm guessing it's a bug?

see https://gist.github.com/etcet/8278029

HN just added a section for Show HN. Add a link to it in the top bar.

Adding this item from the TODO list in README.

Here's a suggestion for having search bar on top:

So many times websites are getting slashdotted and the top comment is simply "web cache version: ". I'm pretty sure the API is simply http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://example.com/.

It would be nice to have this link available somewhere on the UI. I'm not sure where.

In some places on the actual HN site (like profiles and text submissions) URLs are not anchor tags. It would be great to have HNES convert all URLs into real links.

The image-based vote buttons look horrible when you zoom in (I have HN zoomed in all the time due to the tiny font size). I've written a very small patch to HNES which replaces the image-based buttons with CSS-based ones that scale properly when you zoom in.

"... you can now view the comments you've upvoted by clicking on "saved comments" in your profile. It works like "saved stories". Thanks to porker for the suggestion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9050374."

https://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=etcet&comments=yes is screwy

When I go to my submissions page it shows a weird number in place of the # of comments for submissions that got no comments. It may be a coincidence, but for the ones I have checked it is equal to the number of days since submission.

When I downvote a comment, it just increments the counter next to their username. It's a count of how many times I've expressed any opinion about that user.

(I know, untestable for you for now.)

That page turns up completely blank for me - all other comment pages are fine. Not sure what the specific issue is with that one. Might be able to look into it later...

EDIT: looks like for whatever reason the style="visiblity: visible" attribute is not getting added to the <body> tag. When I add that, it's fine.

EDIT2: Aha! the username of the poster of that item happens to be 'tocomment'. So the jquery selector $('.subtext a:contains(comment)') on line 145 brings the username anchor tag back as well as the "x comments" one, and so the .match(/id=(\d+)/) on line 154 fails to finds no digits (\d) to match, so page_id is null, which means the if-statement at 155 throws without even evaluating. Changing the line to "if (page_id && page_id.length)" should fix it.

In some way, I'd like to see the 1-30, 31-60, etc. Could be a single element at the top of the page (e.g., Showing 31-60) or next to each item as on the non-extension using default view.

It might be a good idea to take the user back to the front page and display a notice saying so when you reach a dead/expired page notice. I'll give this a go later

Hey there, I use this a lot on Chrome - but I was wondering if it's possible to use on Firefox?

When I install HNES it's front page doesn't show the age of posts (e.g. "6 hours ago") anymore. However, that's some very useful information I would still like to see.

It wasn't before, so I guess it was a HN-page update that broke it.

For example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17705 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3481174

It's a bit cramped between the top post and the replies without a reply box there.

The mourning black bar breaks things

Would it be possible please? Thanks for all your hard work!

The point numbers on the index page are not aligned properly for me. I'm running Chrome version 23.0.1251.2 dev-m.

Here's a screenshot:

And to be honest, I'd rather have the point values to the right side of the link titles anyway since I trust HN ranking and do not look at the point values very often (having the comment numbers is great, however).

The notifo, showdead, noprocast, maxvisit, minaway, and delay options aren't immediately obvious. There should be explanations of what these options do.

See http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html http://notifo.com/hackernews

The login page is ugly as sin, but functional. Could be more conforming to the overall style.

If you write a comment when you aren't logged in and hit submit, then the comment body disappears and you can't recover it. This may also happen in other failure scenarios I haven't encountered, but this is the common one that has bitten me multiple times now. It's really disheartening if you've written a long and detailed comment and it was lost, and you have to either rewrite it or stop trying.

Many forms will either show an error message ajaxily inline with the comment, show the form again with the original message filled in, or at the very least allow you to use the back button to recover the form fields. For example, the Reddit Enhancement Suite has a nice behavior where even if you hit "Cancel" while replying to a comment, if you then hit "Reply" again it brings up the filled-in form field.

Anyways, is it possible to ensure that the comment submission was successful before hiding the comment field, so that we stop losing work?

I'd love to be able to track certain users on the site. I'm not really sure what the UX would be, but potentially it could be like the homepage. It could list the users that I've tracked, show how many new comments they've made, show their karma, etc.

I'm interested in working on this, but would want to discuss the UX first.

just started visiting hacker news - been using reddit for ages and was looking for infinite scroll

expected this to come with the enhancement suite, but seems its not available. Couldn't find any previous issues talking about it either.

might be interesting to add:
https://github.com/honestbleeps/Reddit-Enhancement-Suite/blob/5751e2cbda3df81e5915546b241a2362ca1a7176/lib/modules/neverEndingReddit.js

https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/hn-special/blob/43ef6f781cdf8bc996bab4c3a5f996a6d24e93de/lib/modules/infinite_scrolling.js

I also mentioned this here, but I believe this (should be) a bug, so opening a new report for it.

I just saw this extension on HN (of course) and tried it out. It looks pretty good, however, I ran into one little issue: the tables aren't lining up correctly. Please see the attached photo below:

Chrome Dev: 23.0.1251.2 dev
Screen Resolution is 1920x1200

The upvote links that normally appear alongside entries on the front page are no longer displayed. This is a vital part of the site, and I don't always venture into the comments section for a post, which is the only place the enhancement suite still provides this feature.

If I'm interested in clicking through to read a post, chances are I'm also interested in reading the HN comments. Adding a special link to open both at once would be very convenient. In the Reddit Enhancement Suite, these are the "[l+c]" links.

The /news2 link which occasionally appears as the target of the 'More' link is borked. Make it the same thing as the /x?fnid= links.

See this screencap:

• the Y logo element is below the other items
• the karma score is so light as to be unreadable

Some posts don't have an upvote arrow, and those posts seems to confuse HNES:

Browsing through the code, this may have to do with this line, seemingly intended to only apply to /submitted, but (from what I can tell) apparently applied to just about everything.

Note that this also applies to the submissions page, which makes me wonder whether the above code was intended for a previous version of HN:

http://imgur.com/siUHBwF

See above for example. Works fine when I go back to full screen.

Went to the search box at the bottom, typed in 'jo' (intending to type in 'jobs report'), did not press enter, and I was taken to the first link on the page. So effectively you can't search for anything with a 'j' followed by an 'o'.

(First link happened to be the Steve Jobs tribute - at first I thought it was some sort of Easter egg!)

For the last few days, comments are not being posted with the extension enabled. After disabling the extension, everything works.

Maybe j/k to move down/up and "enter" to collapse/expand a thread.

I think to improve readability, a little less line spacing on comments. Even on my 15" screen, I can usually only fit a couple comments on screen at once, which makes it harder to follow.

I'd also remove the shadow on the header :).

Right now the comments links are too small (they're only the size of the number of comments itself), and thus hard to hit.

Since there is a lot of non-clickable space between the left margin, the number of comments and the score, perhaps making the linkable area wider would help (similar to what http://hckrnews.com/ does).
