NationStates++ | Browser Extension for NationStates

[Shadow Afforess]

I'll check into this later, but try again now. I noticed that yesterday there was a 30 minute spike in NS++ usage that temporarily caused some requests not to go through. I don't think most of the extension code distinguishes between permission denied and a 404.

This was the first overload of NS++ I've seen since the April fools game. I may need to optimize or expand servers.

Thanks.

I figured something had happened like that.

At the very least, it shows people are using the extension more

Yep. I've brought an extra server online and hopefully that should put an end to overloads for now.

Oooooh,so NS++ is doing that,I thought NS did that on itself,sorry for that

Small bug for ya

[The United Motherland]

Er. I'm having a small issue.

Whenever I'm trying to Ignore threads. For some reason they constantly pop back, and some time already-ignored threads just pop right back up again.

Help?

[Darwinish Brentsylvania]

What should I do in order to update NS++? Do I uninstall it and then reinstall it?

[Sebtopiaris]

How do I uninstall it? I'm also looking to update it.

That link goes to nowhere valid anymore and the merged thread simply destroyed the context of the posts (way to go, mods! ). If there is a bug here I would appreciate it if you could provide a full summary of the bug, how to reproduce, and what is expected/should be fixed. Otherwise I will not do anything. Sorry.

On Firefox, Opera, and Chrome you do not need to do anything, the browser should keep your extensions up to date for you. Safari users need to head to preferences and check for updates in the extensions area manually, but that is it.

How do I uninstall it? I'm also looking to update it.

It depends on the browser, but see above.

[Maryginia]

OK so I tried diabling and re-enabling, removing and adding back and moving out of and back to my region, But I'm on firefox, and the leave message button on the RMB won't show.

[Maryginia]

fixed it.

Shadow Afforess, is NS++ available for Internet Explorer (8,9,10,11,12)? I need it to get rid of ads, and join the NS News System.
If you want to reply, reply me here.

[Shadow Afforess]

First off, this is the wrong place to ask such questions.

Secondly, it's in the 2nd paragraph of the NS++ discussion thread.

Why No Internet Explorer Support?
Internet Explorer is not an open web browser and frequently does not support official web standards. In addition, it does not support browser extensions, and is frequently a target for malware and viruses. I suggest all Internet Explorer users upgrade to a free, modern browser, listed above.

In a rather petty attempt to establish some law & order in the GP news, I for one will be nuking every submitted article I see that isnt actual *news*.

We do not want your random regional happenings on the Gameplay newspage; its point is GAMEPLAY news. Your region being raided and TBR sucking, regional 'press releases' and the like are not news that everyone in GP needs to know about. Post those in am embassy thread in the Gameplay forum, don't take up valuable space in the GP news section.

I'll leave articles already up but new ones will be checked for this.

You would not believe the number of crap submissions I get that are deleted. In fact, I had issues with RP and GP editors approving terrible articles and ended up hiding the submission queue from non-editor-in-chiefs just for those two papers (normally all editors can see the submission queue).

In fact, I have considered abolishing editors for those two papers and implementing an automated system that would check submissions for errors, writing quality, etc, and auto-approve them. Theoritically I could use the same sort of algorithms that are used for spam detection...

Or we can limit the editors to people who will actually do it, the 20 or so editors we have on RP news is insane.

I have another suggestion, a TG tag that targets only NS++ users.

I have a problem but I don't want to go to a site I don't trust to report it, where should I report it?

Alright so when I use NS++ there is no button anymore to post on the regional RMB (I have to quote someone then delete their quote) and also the text size on the forum is gigantic. It was normal up until a few days ago when it suddenly became huge. Also how do I show my flag next to my name on the sidebar, it is there on regular NS but not NS++.

Text size is controlled by your browser. You can increase or decrease it by holding down the CONTROL key and scrolling in or out with your mouse wheel.

As for the regional RMB, make sure you are using the latest version. Safari does not update the extension for you, you need to check your user preferences and check for updates in the browser.

Ok I updated it and I can post again but now my flag is on my sidebar but it's humongous and quite unnerving. And also I use a laptop and a mac so I have neither a mouse wheel or a CTRL key. Also the only text that's gigantic is the text on the posting form and in posts. Nation info on the forums as well as anything that's not user written is normal.

As I already mentioned font size is totally unrelated to my extension. A quick google search and you could figure out the corresponding Mac key:

I officially changed my font size down and it did absolutely nothing here (though it changed sites like google. I still think it's NS++ because I never changed the font size on my computer before. Also what can I do about that giant flag on the sidebar.

So what does NS++ do anyway?

I have a little question I would like to ask.
A few days ago, I was looking through regions. Some of them have this KiwIRC. Now, as a founder of my region, I would like this feature. So my question is, how do you get this?
