The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is dead. Long live the Oppo userscript!
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Now that Tiger is stable, I think I can start looking at making a new userscript, 'cause the old one is as dead as doornails. I don't think that I'll be able to do anything as comprehensive as in the previous version - there have been some significant changes to the structure of the site - but there are a few things I'd like to bring back:
Consistent font sizes - why in the hell do some post titles come out huge? This really bugs me.
Different colours, 'cause I liked !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
Maybe a smaller sidebar - this was popular with many because the original sidebar introduced in October 2013 was deemed to be intrusive and wasteful of space.
But after seeing Supreme Kiwi Zorro's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I realised that something even more important could be done - a colourblind mode. I don't know how many colourblind Oppo users are out there, or how many of you struggle, but I'd love to hear from you. If there's enough interest, I'll even try to push out a quick version over the weekend.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
In any case, if you're interested in a Tigerscript TM , let me know. The more of you who want it, the more motivated I'll be to do it!

The big post titles are a function of moderator promotion.

Any chance of completely reformatting the comments back into the old version?

I'm completely unfamiliar with what this is

Basically, I use a plugin in your browser to tweak the presentation of a website. All very kosher and safe. Check out my first link for details of what it did.

Are you sure? I know the big pictures come from moderation and/or recommendations, but the big post titles seem to be a lot more haphazardly placed. In any case, I'm going to standardize all of that. Makes me crazy.

Quite sure. The enlarged images are done by the moderators too but are independent from their promotion of the whole post. At least that's how I understand it.

Definitely interested.
Also is it possible to make the sidebar scroll for different magnifications of the pages?
I run mine at 125% zoom for easier viewing and I currently have to zoom out 3-4 times to see all the titles in the list.

Any update on if you've made/are working on a script? I used your old one, and enjoyed it.

Sorry, but I haven't worked on it at all. The new layout is much harder to clean up, because of how the Kinja code is generated, and I just haven't had the time. I may still do it, but I can't promise anything.
Cheers!
