I'm not sure why would anyone care about the information on how many posts he/she wrote in certain section except for fulfilling the signature campaign rules. I'm not saying that the tool isn't useful (obviously, it is) but only to make it easier to follow sig. campaign rules.

And another thing. Couldn't you make it as a web page? I have bad experience with .js scripts and security. I'm not saying that your script isn't safe (it's open source and anyone can check it's source code so I guess it should be safe), but I just don't like to use scripts Smiley

I personally like to see my statistics, how much I write where I write and how many Merits I have received. I even have my own tool that does monthly statistics, but I haven't shared it with you yet. I would have to translate it and I don't know if everyone would like that tool.
Anyway, thank you for expressing your opinion.
As for the web page, I agree with you, it would be better. But I would have to incur expenses to put it online, instead a userscript needs nothing, it installs and runs on the browser that hosts it.

Although I'm not a fan of installing scripts in the browser (even if they are reliable), I recognize that it is a good analysis tool.

Looking at the images he posted, I realized he considers the goal achieved when we reach the number of posts in the game and on the site. Or am I wrong?
I think that in the settings field, you can define a field to indicate the minimum number of posts that must be made to reach the objective of the week/campaign.

Congratulations on your development, and may it be very useful. Keep up the good work.

The tool works like this. You enter your username, then you have to set 3 parameters (only if you are part of a signature campaign) which are max posts per week ex. 25. Max post in local board e.g. 10, min post in gambling section e.g. 10
Then the tool considers that you have reached your goals only if you make the min in gambling and max in local board. Then there are other settings such as enabling or disabling the Merit received part or not to consider valid posts written in offtopic or mega threads etc etc
I might add other options too but for the moment I think it's fine as it is

Recently, the forum has been producing programmers, especially lower ranked members and they have been coming forth with different ideas. It is really encouraging, this means in a while we will have another PowerGlove who will join to help theymos in the technical things of the forum.

I am not a fan of using scripts, but I see that this one is very beneficial, especially to campaign managers. It will make their job somewhat easy. Especially the ones managing large campaigns.
Congrats on this.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement mate. I don't know who powerglove is I hope to have a chance to talk to him sometime

This tool is really interesting! Very useful for people like me, but also many others, who follow signature campaigns. A very useful reminder indeed.
Congratulations man! I hope for you that the community will appreciate your work. And that many will use your tool.
Question, I saw that you can use it for multiple users, but wasn't it better to use it in non-multi-user mode?

I honestly only put this option in as a test but then left it. But it is not obligatory to enter multiple usernames! It is just something extra that does not affect the usefulness of the tool.
