Hello,
I help moderate a forum, and some of us use GM scripts. Someone left and I basically inherited his script, and have been updating it for over a year.
The problem is, it’s really hard to add new content. The script has multiple spaces within it, and deleting them causes the script to not work.
I was wondering if you could fix this, and how much it would cost me.
Thank you,

Tell me some details on what you want and if it’s no big deal, I’ll just add it when I have time later this week (probably). Kind of a weird-looking script, don’t really understand what it does from a quick look at the source. Huge amounts of embedded whitespace, might be better for the script to handle things a different way.
I’d like it rewritten so there isn’t whitespace to be honest. It’s rather annoying when trying to add something new but having to copy the required whitespace as well.
Imagine a text box, with this below it: http://s3.amazonaws.com/uso_ss/1721/large.png?1249715488
It basically inserts those items, instead of having to type them out.
I tried manually deleting the whitespace, but the script stopped working.
Thank you for your time, and sorry if this is in the wrong location.
OK, do I need to create a sign-on to test a revised, or do you have a test or preferred sign-on you want to email me the details to test a script? I assume I’ll have to post messages to test the script’s operation if I get it working. Is there a place to do that on the forum, since your users probably don’t want to see test posts (assuming I get that far with it).
I can make you an account really quick. I’ll then send you a private message, and you can test from that area. Do you just want me to post the information on here, or email it to you? It will be a WLID and a password basically.
You can email me all the information I need. I’ll probably need to ask you more questions as this develops anyway.
Email sent to your info@devoresoftware.com email.
Thank you!
Modified script was sent. Hope it works for the users of Bungie who need it.
Just wanted to follow up and give my thanks for reformatting the script. You removed 100kb of space!
You’ll be giving a special credit for all of your hard work
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/52501 Here’s the script after your reformatting.
Thank you once again.
Great. I’ll make a post on it soon.
Hi Michael!
there is a useful script for Google Reader. It adds shortcut mark as read and jump to next item. Sadly it doesn’t work in Chrome. Perhaps you could take a look at that one.

best reagards,

Sorry I didn’t follow up, the past couples of weeks have been pretty crazy busy.
I did look over the code and can see where and why it is breaking. There is an unsupported function call specific to Mozilla, although there is a similar function which is for Chrome. However, when I attempted to correct with working code, for some reason Chrome still doesn’t like use of the function in my tests. Perhaps it works as native extension instead of a script, but I ran out of time to test that. If I can get back to it before the end of the month, I’ll try again, and check as a native extension. Sorry about the delay.
Hmm, I don’t see anything obvious in the source which would break Chrome. I’ll try to look at it in more detail early next week.
