A little "bug" that might be fixed.

Hey.

I am a really happy user of this site, but I encountered a small problem.

When I views games I like to use the "next move" button. My problem is that the placement of the button moves slightly with every move (I think the problem is the box in the top that shows who won some tournament can have slightly different sizes. It really makes it much harder to watch matches.

Anyone else had this problem? I am using Google Chrome on Windows 7

This is a known problem. There is the trick to leave one message unread to make the "summary" box higher so that it determines the position of the elements below. This makes it better but from my last experience it does not totally solve the problem: some of the ads displayed were even higher.

Leaving 2 messages wouldn't solve that either :-)

The gods of LG have fixed this a few times in the past but new kinds of banners are always appearing, reintroducing the problem.

well with one message it is at least very seldom.

The alternative is an add-on to the browser that 'corrects' the webpage every time:

identify the line that reads

< !--advertisment-->

(always line #32), change the following line

< td width="468" height="xx" align="center">...

to

< td width="468" height="99" align="center">...

For someone who knows how to make add-ons, that should be fairly simple.

Or if this is not possible, insert a line before

< !--end advertisment-->

and another one after

< !--end advertisment-->

that define an exactly limited space.

[I added a blank between each '<' and the following char, which should not be there, to allow it to display]

i wonder if there could be a keyboard shortcut somehow... such as pressing F6 ...

I doubt that is possible; consider the security consequences if an browser could define a custom key. It could redefine any key to send information out or such? not sure

What about auto-play? A link that plays the game (from the current situation) to the end, loading a new page every 1 or 2 sec?

I decided to give a go at this. First, install Greasemonkey and the go to the following link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/105274. Click the install button and you are done.

Since the script needs to wait for the page to finish loading, there might be a light flickering in content-heavy pages, like the main page.

Feel free to suggest any improvement and report problems.

PS: It would all be a lot simpler if Richard would put a height property on the page itself, but that will have to do until then.

Great, Little Golem destroyed my URL. Here is a working version: http://goo.gl/9xiJu.

I came at this from another direction; I wrote a JavaScript bookmarklet to advance the moves. I put it on my site here. You can put it in the bookmark toolbar on your browser and then keep clicking it. (You have to hit << first before the bookmark will work.)

sorry to reply to such an 'old' thread, but.. i think Tommah's bookmarklet is awesome, and use it all the time - felt bad he never got some recognition (afaik) for his great contribution. thanks again Tommah :)

sounds great, I will try it out :)

I can recommend change +1 to -1 to get a previous move button too
