LDDMonkey - Feature Request: Add spacing in front of dots for current posting - including proposed solution
I usually monitor my own postings using "Show all my posts". More often than not, the link is not to a question, but to a response in what might be quite a messy response hierarchy. While the forum template doesn't do a brilliant job in displaying this hierarchy anyway, it gets worse with LDDMonkey. The additional space taken up by show/hide div symbols ([+]/[--]) makes the current posting look as if it was one level up in the hierarchy.
An easy solution is to add about the same space in front of the dots for the current posting. This line can be identified in all current forums by the existence of the image "threadmap_active.gif". So, what I did is to add one more loop between ignoreList and links:
var pics = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (i = 0; i < pics.length; i++) {
var node = pics[i];
var tag = node.getAttribute("src");
if (tag.toLowerCase().indexOf("threadmap_active.gif") >= 0) {
node.style.marginRight = "2.45em";
}
}
I've been using this for a couple of weeks now, and a right margin of 2.45em seems to work reasonably well. It doesn't scale perfectly (but good enough) when overriding the default font size.
