Oscarplus loginbox userscript
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/124399

Most people know the drill.

Basically, I create greasemonkey scripts when I don't like some webpages/sites. Oscarplus, coded by people who were incapable of putting in a replacement POST form instead of reusing the same one from the age-old MUGSI times and designed by the ones who have no idea where to place login forms, I just had to make a similar script for it as my Avenue script.

You will need Firefox/Chrome

If you use Firefox, you will need Greasemonkey (Firefox Addon)


After you've installed that, you can go to this page: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/124399

And click the "Install" button and then "install" again when the box pops up. Load up the Oscarplus page to see that login box in front of you.

Lemme know if you have more suggestions for little changes in Mac's pages.

Enjoy....or don't. whichever.

PS: I haven't tested it in Chrome, so lemme know if it doesn't work, it should though since I basically copied my older code and changed up some variables.

If I find time, I swear one day I'll also write a script to avoid that godawful login timeout.

I would be thrilled if you did this. it logs me out at least twice for each job i post and it is really irritating, ecspecially since the system is slow to open the co-op page.

edit: its slow to open ALL pages

Also:

How could you not take like 5 mins to check to see if your script works in every browser imaginable? Its like the easiest test... ever.



I almost wrote beta test but then I remembered that Big Bang Theory episode where Penny made that horrible horrible horrible mistake.

I didn't think that was possible with scripts!
You sir would have my undying gratitude if you accomplished this.

okay so I figured out the timeout thing.

If you use the script, the timeout should occur after around 83 days instead of 9.5 minutes.

Shit will hit the fan if this causes an issue :p

It's in testing.

Edit: Doesn't work :(

Okay, updated, this one works as far as I've tested for the timeout.
