kbin enhancement script: QOL updates for the kbin UI
Few small changes to the kbin UI while they still develop some features
Current features:
Add domains to magazines and users for federated content
Collapse comments
Collapse replies
Replies start collapsed
Move comment box to top
Fix comment buttons and add a cancel button
Blur / Hide NSFW domains (thanks to u/le__el)
All features are toggleable if you like the way another script does it instead.
Nice job!
I'm very surprised that collapsing comments aren't officially implemented yet.It would be good to see the collapsed comment show the "top row" info (avatar, name, comment age, votes) - even if just to keep the [-] inline with the [+].
Should be pretty lined up now
Can you add "Add domains to magazines and users for federated content" to activity? It's missing there.
Possibly related: "Add domains to magazines" breaks with infinite scroll. So it works on posts when the page first loads, but when I scroll down and more posts load in, they don't have the domain:
I'll look into fixing this, I don't use infinite scroll personally.
One problem that all of these scripts that move the reply box have - when you try to use formatting, the tags are always inserted in the top box. Is that something that is fixable with the script?
I use this script + the kbin-it theme for stylus, which moves it to the top as well, and when I disable toe top comment box in this script the formatting tags are applied to the reply box instead of the one at the top.
Sorry, pinging @SirPsychoMantis for visibility. Not sure if this is a particular issues with userscripts but this seems to work for me.
Hey, so I installed version 1.7 and I'm having issues closing the splash screen on both desktop and mobile. Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me?
Fixed a few issues, tell me if it is still happening with 1.9
That works! Thank you sir, keep up the good work!
This is an EXCELLENT set of features
Any chance you'll move this to GitHub? Would love to contribute.
Don't forget to check in on the greasyfork site for updates! just went to 1.5 and it looks even better now!
I really like the setting toggles in the side barNice thank you! One question. On mobile the domains push the up/down vote out of view. Any way to fix that? I'm currently running someone else's version that doesn't affect the votes.
Ah interesting, as far as I can tell this is just a symptom of kbin's CSS, having a really long username would do the same thing. Does the other script just allow the username to have a line break, or do the votes overlap with the name?
Yup exactly it just line breaks. No overlaps
I think the issue with domains not showing for magazines & users has to do with infinite scroll being enabled. Every newly loaded page seems to just show them without the domain.
Hey there, is it possible to add an option to move the collapse button to the left of the username (so that it's always in a consistent spot, versus moving from comment to comment depending on how long the line before it is), or to even add it to the space to the left of the avatar (like some reddit themes did)? Otherwise, this is great.
Hmmm, is there a way to install this in FF for Android? The links say I should be able to use Grease monkey, Tampermonkey, etc but FF refuses to install. I'm guessing they're written for the old FF API.
I have Tampermonkey installed on my phone and it came up with an error each time I tried. But at some point it started working (at least it says it's installed)

I have yet to test it though. If you haven't tried clicking install a few times, try that since it worked for me? 🤷🏻♀️
Is the red dotted line next to the reply meant to highlight the OP / thread starter? If so, is it possible to make this a little more obvious?
Added
This is great, thanks for your hard work on this, really great improvements to the UX!
I’ve only been able to get this to work on Firefox on my desktop. Anyone successfully got it running on iOS Safari? I’m trying to use the Userscripts extension.
Never mind. Figured it out. I hadn’t enabled the extension on safari. Duh
Hey, I found the thread finally! @SirPsychoMantis, I posted this on Greasy Fork but just in case anyone else has this issue: I have found that the script is not blurring NSFW "Auto media preview" images. It is 100% blurring everything else (thumbnail, user image and community images) which is wonderful but not the preview image. Which is especially bad awful when I'm on my PC and the preview image is HUGE and there's kids in the room lol 😱
I tried my darnedest to edit the script myself but after a couple of hours I still couldn't get it to work.
"Add domains to magazines and users for federated content" - this was missing for me. thank you!
EDIT: Found it. collapse comments adds the button at the top of a comment to hide it
collapse replies at the bottom of a comment to collaps all replys to that specifiy comment but it stays visibill---- what are "Collapse comments" and "Collapse replies" doing ? i could not spot the difference.
Collapse comments adds the [-] and [+] to all comments
Collapse replies: Someone in another thread wanted to be able to hide all child comments but leave the top level comment, if a comment has replies, it adds a button in the footer to do that.
Great stuff! Thanks for posting this here!
Ooh I like these changes a lot, thanks!
I wonder if some new code was pushed to the backend today? Suddenly this morning all threads are auto-hiding all comments when this script is enabled. I've checked that none of the comment settings have been changed, and tested with and without them, but the only thing that allows comments to load is turning off the script. I've even tried reinstalling the script.
It was working wonderfully last night. So I'm guessing something new was added.
