Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ GPXPlus Discussion _ A guide to mass-clicking!

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Jan 16 2010, 08:03 AM

Something everyone asks me: How the hell do you click so fast?

Well, to save the hassle of repeating myself 10 - 20 times over, here's how I do it:

A GUIDE TO MASS-CLICKING!

(Post here if you have something to add. Cheers!)

Notes:

*If you're using an older computer, or you use Google chrome, you should read http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=29490&hl= topic written by RAAAAAAAGGGGGGGEEEEEEE (outdated, but you still might find it useful). Some of the tricks I use aren't friendly with all machines or browsers, so please make sure you read this before you ask me to add something to this thread. (If you're a Chrome expert, feel free to post a how to use guide here if you want it displayed)

Anyways, I've decided to make a re-vamp of my old clicking guide. I've tested various new methods of clicking since I last posted my old guide, so I'll be sharing a few of those, too. I will update this thread with more add-ons, new versions of existing add-ons and other miscellaneous information that may help if anything else pops up. My GPX journal and the topic description will be changed if necessary.

To begin, you'll need:

*FireFox/Opera/Safari (I use version 3.7 of FireFox, if that helps. As for Opera, I use version 11; Safari, I don't use)

Browser downloads:

http://www.getfirefox.net/
http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

Your browser will update automatically if it is outdated. Otherwise, Google is your friend. wink.gif

Ok, that's it for the browser set-ups and information; the rest is up to you now. But I'll leave you with some extra tips to maintain your focus whilst mass-clicking:

Some extra tips to keep you focused!

The one thing the add-ons and info won't help you do is focus! Usually, after an hour or two of clicking, you'll get to the stage where you can't be bothered. Here's what I do to stay focused and aim for higher numbers like 30k:

*Every hour, take a break. If you still feel like browsing the net, go on a forum, or do something else on the net to give you a bit of a break from clicking. Not only will you be motivated to click solidly when you get back to it, you'll also have a lot more people to click on the online list than before. Chances are you'll run out in a couple of hours if you're a super-fast clicker like me.

*Take regular coffee/tea breaks. A hot drink will help you relax and clear your mind. It's no good depriving yourself of the small luxuries in exchange for 2 extra minutes of clicking.

*Always have music playing. (I personally love metal/hard rock and electro/techno, if that helps. =P) Music will keep you upbeat and make you want to keep clicking. Fast-paced music is generally the best, but it's up to preference more than anything.

*Have another program like MSN running. Even if you only have one convo going, you're still breaking your interwebz day up a little bit whilst clicking. Plus, it's not hard to talk and speed-click simultaneously.

Question:

Is There a Higher Version of Firefox?

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Jan 16 2010, 09:16 AM

*Snaplinks URL has been changed due to an annoyance with the older one.

There's version 3.6; however, I'm content with 3.5 at this stage.

The add-ons should still work if you decide to go with 3.6 > 3.5

Posted by: Antarid Jan 16 2010, 09:25 AM

Thanks At. I'll try 3.6!

Posted by: cuty 93 Jan 16 2010, 09:29 AM

I can verify that Firefox 3.6 works fine with the add-ons.

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Jan 16 2010, 09:30 AM

I added a download link to FireFox 3.6.

Question:

How many tabs do you tend to open at any one time from the Users Online List?


You should note that not everyone's computer will be able to handle the same amount. I personally go with 30-40 when mass clicking though there's some who will go as high as 100. (parties that is)

You won't be able to see anything in the shelter and you won't be able to read the egg descriptions in the lab.

You also won't be able to see anything in your walker, daycare or PC and you won't be able to withdraw or deposit anything into them until you turn the images back on.

You can still click berries, but they'll appear as text instead.

Question:

When I started clicking I just used Snaplinks to open the Party. But now that new feature is there, which allows you to open everything at once. I sometimes lagged using snaplinks/multilinks so I thought it's a bit faster with that new thing.
Did you try both clicking methods and found one to be faster?

Posted by: Iconox Jan 16 2010, 09:48 AM

Wow, great advice! Thanks for the links/help, Arceus Thrasher!

I use multi-links > snaplinks, and I've tried both methods. I prefer to use multi-links > the new thing.

I don't have any page lag on my computer, unless the site is lagging.

I don't think they meant the page itself. I've had snaplinks lag on me as well but the actual page was fine. Because of the contest in place I many times accidentally snaplink the place holder egg so I'll sometimes speed through the parties hitting the "open all" link and ctrl+w.

Ah.

Yeah, it has done that to me on the rare occasion. I usually draw a box back and forth to begin with to see if I get the green square to appear immediately. If it doesn't, I hold the mouse button and move the cursor back to where I started from, then try again. Once the first box is drawn, the rest are a piece of cake. happy.gif

For some people (*coughmecough*), disabling images in Firefox does not result in their alternate-text being displayed. One way around that is the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1672 extension. It has a few features for tweaking how Firefox deals with broken/missing images, but for speed's sake we'll focus on disabling images around the site:

The big ones are the site layout, the egg and Pokemon images, and the berries. Go to the "Filter" tab and add three new filter rules:

CODE
http://gpxplus.net/files/img/*
http://gpxplus.net/files/layout/*
http://gpxplus.net/files/images/berries/*


Set the filter level to [4] (Don't Load Images). Now, when new tabs are loaded, not only will all of the images not load with them, but the berry images will be replaced by their Alt Texts, which display the identity of the berry and, more importantly, allow you to click them and boost your interaction rates. Best of all, if you position your mouse just right, you can click the "Warm The Egg" button and the Chesto Berry without needing to move the mouse, saving that little bit of time too :3

When you're done, you can restore all the filters to level [1] (Load All Images). Note that I've defined three different filter rules; you can always filter out all the images from the site by using one rule (http://gpxplus.net/*), but the three I've defined allow you to see the Lab eggs and their descriptions, convenient if you end up mass-hatching and want to refresh your stock with specific Pokemon from the Lab.

Okay then. Another Question:

If I want to use the 'Open All Pokémon in New Windows' option provided by GPXplus. how do I change my Firefox settings, so that when I press that, the page remains on the party page and not the last tab opened?

Hm. That's wierd.

Have you tried: Tools > Options > Tabs > Open new windows in new tabs: yes, instead? You should still be able to keep the party page while the pokémon are sent to new tabs in the same window.

It works just fine for me. Sure you're doing it right?

EDIT:

Nvm. I'm using 3.5.7

3.6 is just a beta atm so that's probably the issue. I'll dl that when it's official.

Posted by: Antarid Jan 16 2010, 10:33 AM

I tried to download it, it said it was compatible for older version only.

In that case, you might want to stick to 3.5 for the time being, unless table tools doesn't worry you too much.

Ok -- now I can get some sleep. XD

You're supposed to type it into the url box.

Once you do that you can copy and paste browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground into the filter line. Then right click, scroll to New, choose "boolean" and then paste that same thing again into the window that pops up which will then switch it to true.

Posted by: Jawded Jan 16 2010, 01:16 PM

Now that everyone does this I feel worthless, haha.

I thought of this a while ago too but I don't usually do it anymore because I like to open about two hundred people at once.
OH WELLLLLL

Posted by: Aaronaaron96 Jan 16 2010, 01:23 PM

Posted by: Fearow Jan 16 2010, 01:37 PM

Thanks for the great guide! I'm busy with other things at the moment, so I can't test them out, but I will definitely be looking into these in the future. I was afraid to turn off images because I didn't want to miss chests/Manaphy/Little Man, so it's helpful to know that I could still catch them.

If anyone's Multilinks suddenly stops working for them like mine did, just uninstall (NOT disable) and reinstall and it should be working again. Unfortunately, I haven't a clue how it stopped working in the first place, so I can't offer tips on how to prevent it. ^^;

Type the following into your firefox browser url box:

about:config

Then type the following into the filter bar at the top of the page that comes up:

browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground

Right click on where it says 'False' and press toggle. It will now read 'true'

DONE!

Snaplinks does that too but all I have to do is open a new window rather than unistalling/reinstalling.

Right click the thing you wish to reset to default, then click "reset." It comes up as restore on my computer, but for some people it comes up as "reset."

@ Commander Murtagh: My only guess there is that you're drawing a box around the first pokémon twice without even knowing it. Sometimes the box drawing will lag a little and open up one or two things twice if your first attempt to draw the box fails.

It does it to me every now and then as well. It's nothing to worry about.

I've updated the link to the snaplinks if you wish to give them a shot instead. I haven't had that problem when I tested them out.

Posted by: Commander Murtagh Jan 16 2010, 10:35 PM

Which side of the mouse do you use to draw the box? I know left click has a tendency to duplicate and/or open up random links on the page.

Posted by: Commander Murtagh Jan 16 2010, 10:52 PM

I use left.

QUOTE(Commander Murtagh @ Jan 17 2010, 02:52 PM) *

Ok. Try setting it to right-click. That might help.

Snaplinks does the same thing with the left, only it's much more liable to open up unwanted links.

Posted by: Rofl Copter Jan 17 2010, 02:27 AM

@ Murtagh: Make sure you don't have both Snap and Multi links undisabled at the same time.

Posted by: Immortal Whisper Jan 17 2010, 08:00 AM

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before but you don't need an extra add-on to close all the unwanted tabs. You just need to right click on your current tab and select "Close all other tabs" (It may not be written that way but my Firefox is in Portuguese so I had to translate it on the moment)

If you do, you can always restore the settings to default by clicking “restore” when you open up the options for each setting.

Alright, but will the integer value that is set up disappear if you Restore it to default? Or will it revert back to zero? I could very easily decide I don't like mass-clicking like this and Restore everything back to normal, so I need to know exactly how to do this one.

Just click reset and it'll be removed. Because it's a user set option, there is no default settings for it, so it'll just be cleared. It won;t affect anything. happy.gif

The only two things I wasn't doing that were mentioned in the guide were the about:config and that I went back to missed interactions as opposed to the guide's come-back-later or Ctrl+Shift+T.

Maybe it'll make all the difference I need. Thanks. happy.gif

Posted by: Kajiek Jan 17 2010, 11:15 PM

A minor tip I use

Use Control + -(Ctrl-) to zoom out a little, for people who have six poke parties, or for getting a few easy links on the Online list, make sure you do it before you open the tabs though, or it gets annoying.

And if your using Multi-links and its doubling your tabs look at the lower right corner of your window. You should see a red box and two green boxes. If it is dark, I think that is your problem. click it, it should be fainter, and then your tabs should open as normal

Posted by: m190049 Jan 18 2010, 01:11 AM

I just wanted to contribute something, which might be useful.

Pertaining to the "if you're having trouble with berries not showing up as text" thing... Personally, when I set it to "Block Images from gpxplus.net", berries and other images did NOT show up as text, and instead appeared as if the images disappeared- which made berries unclickable.
However, when I instead went to Firefox's options, and turned "Load imaged automatically" off, images DID appear as text, and I was able to click berries.

Don't know if this was said already, but if it wasn't, hope this helps, to whatever extent.

Alternatively, CTRL + scroll wheel will allow you to zoom in or out. Forwards for zoom in; backwards for zoom out.

It's nice to know that you guys are clicking a lot faster now. That said, good luck getting all the clicking achievements that may have been out of reach before! happy.gif

To be honest, I have no idea... I just found the info when I was googling a way to combat lag, and that's what I got. There was nothing else on the page other than flash-player not working and pages coming up with broken links if you set the loading speed too fast.

If it does, I'll remove the info. (I set mine to default anyways; my comp didn't run much better afterwards)

How long were you clicking?
For me it takes about an hour to get 1000....

Posted by: Airride Master Jan 18 2010, 03:24 PM

Instead of using the 'zoomer' use CTRL+zoom out and scroll through, it makes it ALOT faster to click.

My only guess here is you weren't clicking for very long. Either that, or you're clicking slowly. Like PizzaGuy, it only takes me an hour to get that many, and that's if I can't be bothered clicking. =/

I can't be too sure if it's your net letting you down here. Even in lag, it's still easy enough to get 3k, and the tab-loading is kinda laggy at this stage.

I'd recommend trying again straight after reset (or as soon after as possible), then see what results you get.

For closing the tabs you should try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7083

QUOTE
Close other tabs adds the following three keyboard shortcuts to Firefox:

- Ctrl+Shift+F3 closes all tabs on the left of the active one
- Ctrl+Shift+F4 closes all tabs except the active one
- Ctrl+Shift+F5 closes all tabs on the right of the active one

Mac OS users press Command instead of Ctrl.

Along with these other tab methods, I personally use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4838 because it allows you an option to close just the similar tabs. Sometimes when clicking I may have the forums or some other site open and don't want to close all tabs so I can opt to close just gpx tabs besides w/e tab I close them from. You can also select specific tabs if you only want to close a few. There's other stuff you can do too but you guys can read that from the link.

Oh, and for those of who who had some concerns with the configuration settings putting strain on the server, it was this one:

QUOTE
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server change to 8 (default: 6)

This preference takes values between 1 and 255 inclusive, directly corresponding to the maximum number of HTTP keep-alive connections the application can have open at once to a single server.

It is, however, considered poor etiquette to make too many connections to a server and may lead to you being banned from that server. Anything above 10 is excessive.


For that reason, I didn't bother adding this to the original configuration settings guide in case some people tried to abuse it.

Ctrl + Shift + Tab


Just thought I'd share a few tips for Firefox users. If you right-click any open tab, even one you're not actively on, there should be an option to 'close other tabs' which will close all tabs except the one from which you opened the menu from.

If you have a scroll wheel, clicking it will open a link in a new tab. If you don't, you can also Ctrl + click and it will have the same effect.

If when you click "Open all Pokemon in new windows." on a user's page and it sends you to the last page, go to the about:config advanced settings. Search for browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground and set it to True.

Now you should be able to do what I do:
1. Go to the Users Online list and scroll wheel/ctrl + click people's names. I generally open about 15-20 parties on a slower connection and upwards to 50 on fast connection.
2. Ctrl + Tab (or W just to close the tabs) through each party making sure to click on "Open all Pokemon in new windows."
3. Ctrl + Tab through all the pokemon/eggs and feed/warm them.
4. When you're back at the beginning, right click the tab and select "Close Other Tabs".
5. Rinse, repeat.

EDIT: The only add-ons I use are adblock and greasemonkey which I use for other sites.

I was banned at one stage because I was mistaken for using bots, so the thread was locked. Plus, there were some users still posting questions for me afterwards.

I could have had it unlocked, but I thought I'd just make a new one to stop other users from tying the subject of the rant into their posts. The rant had already served its purpose, so I no longer had a need for it.

On the subject of FireFox, hopefully 3.7 will be a hell of a lot faster than what 3.5 is. My end runs like crap if I open anymore than 15 parties now. -_-2.gif

In that case, it's probably minor issues with the server, if anything, though it only happens when multiple tabs are open. All the other things you can do with "about:config" to make your net go faster tend to put more strain on the server.

@ Roxas: Alright. Normally, you should be getting between 700 - 1000 clicks an hour, even if you're not trying too hard.

Well, I don't use AT's version of mass clicking. I use my own: Safari.

Safari 4 on Snow Leopard is how I click, all the time.

Basically, I go to the Online list, and Apple click a ton of parties at once (usually around 25). I then go through and Apple click the Open All link then close the page with Apple W. Repeat until the parties are done, then I use F13 and F14 to switch between tabs. (You can change any menu items on a Mac in System Preferences - Keyboard) Once I'm done, Shift Apple W to close all the tabs in the window, then Apple 3 to open my Party page (it's a bookmark, third one).

If anyone else has a Mac, and doesn't like the Firefox method, try this! Hope it helped a bit.


@AT: I can get around 1000 in about 40 minutes if I really try. wink.gif

Well, my school doesn't let me download any add-ons for Firefox, and I just switched yesterday because Safari kept on freezing when I did this.

So, I Command+Click a whole bunch of user pages, then Command+Click all of their Pokés, while closing off the user pages. Then I just cycle through the pages with Control+Tab and click the Pokés.

And yes, these controls are for Mac.

Posted by: Slix Jan 19 2010, 08:57 PM

@S T A R M I E: That works, but with Safari, there's no need to do them individually, because the open all link doesn't give you a Javascript tab like Firefox does.

Yes. I've seen that. However, I have seen Firefox is faster. Safari did work for me, but my method back then was using the Random button, and everything loaded in new windows. A bit slow, but I got 4,500 that way.

eh? Should be on the left side of your keyboard. Makes no diff if you're using a laptop or desktop. (Well I've never seen it anywhere else sooo...unless you happen to be using a diff language keyboard which even then, idk if the keys besides the letter keys are all that different)

It doesn't "say" tab, it's got two arrows on it. It should be directly above Caps Lock.

I'm surprised at these mass clicking tips topic popping out and yet none of you have even mentioned Greasemonkey?

And also the Mouse Keys found in the Accessibility Options in the Control Panel for Windows XP in case you don't want to get wrist cramps while using the mouse. (this only works if you have a keyboard with a Numpad, laptops won't work seeing as it's compact and you need to press a specific key to get the so-called numpad there to work). Do a little tweak on the options for the Mouse Keys before you get started though, I recommend having the Numpad key off for it to function properly.

Just know your basic Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+W keys, add the pressing the 5 on the Numpad key to that (make sure you place the pointer over where you want to click, it's a good idea to turn off the images for this to work properly) and you're all set.

The rest of the stuff are in the main page of my site, especially the script from Shirogane (you might not know her anymore since she left the site.)

Requirements in terms of computer hardware are: 2GB RAM, a very fast around 1mbps or more Internet. Yeah, that's the reason why I can't pull off a massclick spree on dial-up.

As for wrist-cramps: Using a light-weight mouse and a well kept mouse pad helps greatly. Easy movement = less strain on the hand. I learned the hard way. XP

I've used greasemonkey before but it's never really played much of a role for me as far as mass clicking goes. It allows you to customize a lot of sites using a Javascript 'plug in' of sorts. Opera has a bastardized version built into their browser that allows for the Java run plug ins to customize browser experience.

I have an addon called Mouse Gestures Redox- I just customized a clicking command that closes a tab.

What I did was, I made it so thjat to draw a gesture you have to hold alt, so that it doesn'T mess up snaplinks. Then, I created a custom command that closes the tab, which is :01 (Hold Left Click, then Press right). I don'T even need to use the keyboard. Since I have a very slow internet connection (0.8 MB per second) I just wait till the click is "accepted", like it says "He devoured it!", and then close the tab with left click+right click. Works fine for me, It takes about 10 minutes to open all 40 parties and about 15 minutes to click em all.

I use a Greasemonkey auto-scroll that automatically scrolls to the eggs in the lab, the box in the shelter and the eggs on a party so I don't have to scroll past the header and whatnot myself. Yes, it's lazy but it saves me some time. It is worth it in the long run!

Shirogane's script, right? Though the only problem it has is that the script doesn't work on very old Pokemon (a.k.a the script won't scroll down on these Pokemon).

Though the original source of the script is gone (even if her LJ post still exists in the community), I was somewhat able to salvage it, and it's currently residing in my website.

Heya people !

I upgraded to Firefox 3.6 yesterday, and found out it now opens new tabs next to the active one. For actual browsing it's a good thing, but here it's annoying, 'cuz you have to wait for each party to load, then click it, then move to the next one, instead of opening them all, then clicking them all.
And you can't change that setting in the basic options, which sucks. I'm surprised they didn't make it customizable... :/

Anyway, i found that way around it, to disable the setting :

QUOTE
First type 'about:config' in the Firefox address bar. You'll get a warning that you're tinkering with Firefox's innards and you should be careful, but this isn't brain surgery, so don't be frightened. Click the 'I'll be careful, I promise' button, and you'll see a big list of all the browser settings that can be tweaked.

Next, in the text box labeled 'Filter:', type 'tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'; you should see just one entry below. In the column marked 'Value,' double-click on the word 'true' to change it to 'false.' You're done.

(Credits go to http://www.daemonnews.org/business-tech/538-why-to-embrace-firefox-3.6s-new-tab-ethos.html )

Now, problem is you'd have to change that each time you want to use the feature, then change it again for mass-clicking. Aw, i really wish they make it more accessible in 3.7, in the basic Tab settings... For now, i guess i'll stay with the old, less comfortable setting permanently...

Posted by: Robert Conley Jan 22 2010, 11:49 AM

tip for using the "open all Pokemon in new windows" button

Type about:config in the address bar, you'll get the screen warning you not to mess with that stuff just hit continue. You'll reach a list at the top of which is a bar labeled filter, use that bar to search for browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground and set it to true. This will allow you to use the "Open all" button and remain on the person's party page, I find this much more efficient then multi/snap links for opening parties however on older computers, like mine(4-5 years old), this can begin to cause the browser to lag but that can be fixed by simply restarting the browser.

If no one mentioned already.

The tab kit add on for Firefox let's you view all tabs at once. Instead of at the top, they appear as a sidebar.

And you can scroll down the list when clicking and close all tabs at once when done.

Normally when you click the "Open all Pokemon in new windows" link, all the tabs open on top of your current one, which is obviously not what you want. But if you go to the about:config page and set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true, it will cause those tabs to open at the end of your line of tabs, much like using snaplinks/multilinks. This means you can open people's parties without moving your mouse. grin.gif

wow, really great guide arceus! i used multi links but i never knew that you can just go from tab to tab using ctrl+tab, i usually just click then go to the next tab, then the remove tabs helps eliminate all the time to get rid of them, though i dont think id go back all the way to the users online, guess i'll have to find my own sway of things, really appreciate it!

EDIT! oh i see when you do the ctrl+tab it just takes you to the first tab again if you've hit it...very nice, thanks XD

Yes - download 1.0.7. Normally your browser will let you know when there are new updates available for your current add-ons. I'd recommend installing all updates that come up because they're usually compatible with newer versions of the browser and they're less prone to derping on you.

An .xpi file? I daresay that's never popped up before when I've installed stuff. Just download it normally and see what it does. I highly doubt it'll fuck up your computer.

Don't know if this has been said... I ran a search but didn't get anything, so I'll just say it.

You can change the colors of the boxes on Multi-Links [don't know about snaplinks] if you click Options on the Multi-links box on the Add-ons menu.

Yeah - you've gotta be really careful with the settings on that page. It's not something you should be experimenting with if you're clueless with what each setting does.

Just watch what you're altering for extra speed as well, because abusing some of the speed settings that allow you to connect more pipelines to the server will get you banned. If you go over a certain limit, you'll slow it down for everyone else.

I'll be posting more updates on the about:config settings with detailed explanations on why you should follow the recommendations rather than customise the settings to what appeals to you.

Thank you for the awesome tips, it's really helpfull.

But I have one question;
Sometimes, when I click at 'Open all Pokémon in new windows' I get a blank page named 'Javascript'.
It's just an empty page with the name Javascipt.
Am I the only one who has this or do other people have the same problem? Thanks already!

Posted by: Poseidon Jan 25 2010, 11:22 AM

Well I originally used Snaplinks then changed to Multilinks because of this guide. I recently upgraded to FF 3.6 so I'm facing the Snaplinks problem I had before.

Whenever I draw the box and then ctrl+w quickly, the Box gets stuck on the page I closed. That prevents me from using Snaplinks with any of the party tabs I have open unless I restart Firefox. Any ideas or tips?

it's just your javascript not working... just ignore that page happy.gif and re-open the user's pokémon again, before you close it.

I don't understand why they wouldn't be working. As far as I know, no-one else has had this trouble before. Are you positive you downloaded FireFox 3.5, not 3.6?

An alternative to trying to fix this would be to download 3.6 - or an older version of FireFox, then down-grade/up-grade it back to 3.5 and try again. If that doesn't work, I'll hunt around for extra add-ons.

What a nice and helpful topic!
I have to try it!
I use Opera
I have a little idea that helps you click a bit faster!
- Let's open the On-Screen Keyboard (Start => All Programs => Accessories => Accessibility => choose "On-Screen Key board")
- You will see a window of keyboard on the screen, let's click on the ctrl button like this:

Spoiler (click to showhide)

- Now you don't need to hold the Ctrl button on your keyboard when you click, that means you can press the Tab button or the "W" buttion on your keyboard. Let's try it!


ANYWAY, THANK YOU, ARCEUS THRASHER!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Autumn Rain Jan 27 2010, 12:08 PM

Hurf durf, just went in and did the about:config changes you recommended. I don't know if it'll help, so let's give it a try. You know what you're talking about (unlike me), so I'll trust your word!

Posted by: John102 Jan 27 2010, 11:38 PM

I've tested this a few times so it should be true....but snaplinks only fails (for me at least) if I close out of a tab before the 'green dots'(you know the green dots that you surround the links with), go away. So I'm guessing the reason it usually stops working later is because as you open more tabs it takes longer for them all to come up, and if you close your tab before it's ready to move on (which is indicated by the green dots disappearing) snaplinks will stop working. So if you just wait a bit longer(and it's usually is only a very small amount of time more) you shouldn't have a problem with snaplinks failing.

If anyone else wants to test this out feel free, like I said I've done this a few times before, but it might just be something wrong with my computer, so any confirmation/contradiction might help. Oh, and it usually takes the longest for the green dots to go away if you're on the users online page, and you've just opened a bunch of links, so I'd start there if you want to test it out....

I also get a checkmark on ALL links i ever visited, so i just disabled the thing.

QUOTE(Meiroh Tsukichi)
Anyway, i found that way around it, to disable the setting :
QUOTE
First type 'about:config' in the Firefox address bar. You'll get a warning that you're tinkering with Firefox's innards and you should be careful, but this isn't brain surgery, so don't be frightened. Click the 'I'll be careful, I promise' button, and you'll see a big list of all the browser settings that can be tweaked.

Next, in the text box labeled 'Filter:', type 'tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'; you should see just one entry below. In the column marked 'Value,' double-click on the word 'true' to change it to 'false.' You're done.

(Credits go to http://www.daemonnews.org/business-tech/53...-tab-ethos.html )


Also, i don't know for all of you people, but i tend to test a lot of addons, not keeping them, and when i visited the about:config page i realized my profile was a mess, with way too many "userset" options i didn't know anything about.
And my browser was really slow, compared to what everything is shown here.

So, if you're in the same case, here is what i did.
Now, the pages load almost instantly, even with the images on (if not too many tabs opened at once. If so, just disable the images as explained in the whole topic ^^)

- First, backup your addons and bookmarks, for example using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109. You can save also your cookies, preferences and all that. But i don't know if saving the profile as a whole still fixes the problem, so personally i used the 'selective' way and restored the minimum. It's not that annoying to re-log in your websites ONCE... ^^"

- Then, close your browser and open the "Run" thing in Windows (by default you find it in the start menu). Type in "firefox.exe -P"
(Note : it's important that your browser is closed, and don't forget the space before the -)

You will see the list of your Firefox profiles.
Create a new one (which should be called "Default User", but call it as you wish) and relaunch your browser.

Tadaa ! You're here with a shiny brand new Firefox !

- Now, open the folder in which you stored the FEBE backup files, and run your addons.

That's when i don't know if using the FEBE "restore" option does or does not bring back all the stuff you want to clean.
So, i just re-installed the addons manually, clicking them one after the other. They are .xpi files, so if you're told that Windows doesn't recognize the extension, choose the program in a list, it's Firefox. And the addon will be installed just as if you were on the Mozilla website... ^___^

- As for the Bookmark, go into your Bookmark menu, select "manage bookmarks", then "import". It's a .html file, stored in the same folder than the addons.

Oh, and since your old profile isn't suppressed (yet, here you choose what to do, i suggest you wait a couple of weeks before erasing it, just in case something goes wrong...
Just do the same command in the Run program to switch the profiles back...)



Here, i hope it will help someone. Please tell me if something isn't clear, i typed as if i was talking AND English isn't natural to me, so sometimes my phrasing can be real weird... xD


EDIT : @ Delicious Pudding : It's still useful on the Users Online list, or on PalPads. You can open several user pages at once, instead of browsing them one after the other. Saves LOTS of time, just like the - new - "open all pokemons in new windows" does.

EDIT 2 : Attempted to correct some shameful grammar... >__< .

the point of the Snap Links, is so you can close the Party page when you've opened all the pokémon. If you just click "open all pokémon in tabs/windows" it goes to the last pokémon and you have to scroll back to get to the party page again to close it.

Checkmarks...?

@ Samoo : to disable the "going to the last pokemon page" thing, follow the tip given by i-don't-remember-who-sorry, on the about:config page. From then on, clicking the link instead of using the snaplink thing is actually much faster, since you can mass-click it through all the user pages you have opened, just the way you click the berries after.
But the addon is still useful to open the user pages...

Sorry about the "checkmarks", i honestly don't even know if the word exists, it just looked self-explanatory to me. xD
It's about the Stylish tip to get a mark next to the links you already visited that day. Something must be wrong about the code, because i get a mark next to all the link i ever visited, even three day before. So it's useless for now, at least to the people who get that problem.

Posted by: Confusious Jan 29 2010, 08:40 PM

I had a pretty good day. 4,560 clicks today. But now I don't know what's wrong with mass clicking. I went through six different versions of Firefox (don't even ask) and nothing seems to help.

ctrl+tab takes about two seconds to select to the next tab, and there's a bit of a delay before it'll let me click. Perhaps it's Java fucking up on me? It doesn't seem like much, but it's fucking FRUSTRATING when you're going through a few hundred tabs.

I had Fasterfox and it only caused more problems then it did fix any.

Edit: Just noticed that it's happening with eggs. Feeding berries goes just fine. Weird. :\

I was banned for doing this at one point as well, but my case has been resolved. I'm able to click as much, if not more, than your average bot on most days, so I was thought to be a bot.

Sadly, there's no way to track genuine botters, so mistakes like this may be a common occurance; especially now that more of you are mass-clicking these days.

I'm gonna have to rev-amp this sometime next week with all this new info I'm getting. And next time, I'll remember to screenshot chests/little man/Manaphy egg with images turned off.

Open up the online list and draw around as many names as you can. (30 to 40 should suffice) You’ll find that everyone you drew around will have had their party opened up in another tab. Now, draw around everything in their party and close off the party tabs with CTRL + W. Do the same to everyone else. Once that’s done, cycle through the tabs with CTRL + Tab and click through everyone’s Pokémon. When you get back to the start, close off all the tabs. Rather than use CTRL + W, use the add-on “Remove tabs” (Explained further on).

you can also use the random button open the pokemon and repeat it until you have like 100 tabs open then use Ctrl+W

I used the ImgLikeOpera thing to block images, and it worked. Just now most pokemon and egg images are showing up anyway.. Is there a way to sort it?

Posted by: Meiroh Tsukichi Jan 30 2010, 06:36 PM

You probably didn't enter the three rules she gave, or didn't set it to "4", hence part of the images still load...

@ Confusious : i know my post is messy, but did you try 'cleaning' your firefox profile ?

@ Fate : it's ANOTHER setting ! Why don't people read the whole topic ? T__T
The setting that opens the new tabs next to the active one is 'tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent' . You have to set it to "false", as it's 'true' by default on the 3.6 version.

One thing that actually helped me aquire Master Clicker today is setting up a completely different Profile for Firefox.

If you don't know how to do this, it's actually really easy to do so, and to switch back and forth between the two Profiles.

I have one profile set for my general browsing, and another for just mass-clicking.

First and foremost, you have to close any running instances of Firefox to make this work.

Second, you have to enable the Profile Manager by going to Start > Run (Or hitting Windows Key + R on your keyboard), and typing in precisely:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" --profilemanager

Including the quotes and the two hypens (--), then hit Run.

A window like this should appear:



Uncheck the box, "Don't ask at startup" if you want it to start every time you start Firefox. Create a new Profile, give it whatever name you want, then go back to the first page of this thread and download the necessary add-ons you need to mass-click.

The new Profile will act as a brand new installation of Firefox, so it won't have any of your saved passwords, cache, history, and etc.

I personally have installed Faviconize Tab (it's great, because you get 50 px wide tabs. http://i47.tinypic.com/dbmb2e.png.), ImgLikeOpera, AdBlockPlus, TabCounter (the number next to the navigation buttons in the previous linked image.), and TabMixPlus.

(These instructions are guaranteed to work on Windows XP. I cannot guarantee validity on Vista or 7. [Confirmed working on Vista Home Basic])

If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me on MY method only, and I'll try to get back to you with an answer.

Sorry if this was answered, but I tried downgrading firefox on windows 7 and the berries and "pokemon codes" refuse to load their text, so I can't avoid loading pictures. Anyone else have this problem?

Posted by: Meiroh Tsukichi Jan 31 2010, 02:19 PM

Thank you ShayDwight, that's much more clear than my post. x)
But actually, you can access the window much easily by typing just "firefox.exe -P" xD
(So, Confusious, try ShayDwight's tip, your browsing should go much faster with a clean profile wink.gif )

Arwen, how did you try blocking the images ?
- If you use the addon (sorry i forgot the name), are you sure you entered the three filter rules given in the topic, and set them all to [4] ?
- If you use Firefox's option not to load images, do you uncheck the "load images" box, or did you set gpxplus.net as an exception ? Because that second option seems not to work, it doesn't load the text instead. Unchecking "load images" for the time you're mas-clicking, then checking it again to get access to eggs and pc is the best solution.

pinch.gif I have firefox with snaplinks and an addon for closing multiple tabs, and it works great, but if i have more than 20-ish tabs open it makes firefox slow down so much, and lags my entire computer. T_T it overloads the CPU and i have to keep closing out of FF entirely to fix it, and im not getting much clicking done... any suggestions to fix this? sealed.gif

Posted by: Meiroh Tsukichi Jan 31 2010, 05:06 PM

First of all, did you try everything already listed in this topic ?

Because i'll soon grow tired of repeating the very same thing over and over... ^^"

Already given tips include, but are not limited to, upgrading/downgrading your firefox to find the most suited version for your computer, cleaning your profile, suppressing images, allowing 'pipe-lining' in the about:config page...

Did you try everything ?

Posted by: ShayDwight Jan 31 2010, 08:50 PM

Oh, I forgot to add. It seems the latest update of MultiLinks are causing instability when more than 10 tabs are opened at once, causing severe lag. This has been confirmed by not only me, but by multiple friends as well.

One fix that I have found is getting the SnapLinks Plus addon from the MozDev Repository.

http://snaplinks.mozdev.org/

Much faster and cleaner than MultiLinks IMO, and it comes with a Link Counter. That is, it counts how many links you hover over. I suggest to everyone to disable or uninstall MultiLinks completely, replacing it with SnapLinks Plus.

Posted by: deltacows1 Jan 31 2010, 09:21 PM

This is irrelevant to the current discussion, but thanks for the guide, it's great. I'm going to attempt master clicker with this, someday.

In that case, the new Multi-links may be why tab-cycling is lagging like an absolute bitch. Haha; I've been forever configuring my settings to no avail. sealed.gif

Looks like I'll be spending my day off giving this thing a major rev-amp. Let me know if there's any other bugs/errors and I'll try and find ways around them. I'll also be adding all additional info to the first post - though it probably won't be fully organized until I get a chance to completely categorize things.

QUOTE(Confusious @ Jan 30 2010, 12:40 PM) *
ctrl+tab takes about two seconds to select to the next tab, and there's a bit of a delay before it'll let me click. Perhaps it's Java fucking up on me? It doesn't seem like much, but it's fucking FRUSTRATING when you're going through a few hundred tabs.

I'm having the same issue. Right now, I'm looking for a way to fix it, but I'm having no luck.

I reconfigured everything I could to speed up my net and computer - including a 50v overclock - but nothing's worked.

EDIT: Ok, I've added most of what I needed to. If I've left anything out, please tell me and I'll see to the updates.

Note: The links to Snap/multi-links should be automatically updated to their latest versions. The older versions of snaplinks are still available for download in the link I've provided if you're using an older version of FireFox.

The new multi-links will work for FireFox 3.6; however, as pointed out, it's rather unstable, so you may be better off with snaplinks.

Posted by: Izzy Swagg Feb 1 2010, 11:27 PM

This too if you're using 3.6. Don't worry about that warning that pops up. Just don't go messing with other things on the list unless you know what you're doing.

QUOTE(Meiroh Tsukichi @ Jan 22 2010, 09:07 AM) *
Heya people !

I upgraded to Firefox 3.6 yesterday, and found out it now opens new tabs next to the active one. For actual browsing it's a good thing, but here it's annoying, 'cuz you have to wait for each party to load, then click it, then move to the next one, instead of opening them all, then clicking them all.
And you can't change that setting in the basic options, which sucks. I'm surprised they didn't make it customizable... :/

Anyway, i found that way around it, to disable the setting :

QUOTE
First type 'about:config' in the Firefox address bar. You'll get a warning that you're tinkering with Firefox's innards and you should be careful, but this isn't brain surgery, so don't be frightened. Click the 'I'll be careful, I promise' button, and you'll see a big list of all the browser settings that can be tweaked.

Next, in the text box labeled 'Filter:', type 'tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'; you should see just one entry below. In the column marked 'Value,' double-click on the word 'true' to change it to 'false.' You're done.

I used both myself. The first one is so that the "open all" button opens the tabs in the background and the second one is so that when snaplinking parties they all open after all the tabs you currently have open versus only after the tab you're on.

But in all seriousness, yes, use Snaplinks. It makes loading speed and tab-cycling speed alot quicker.

@ Rofl: Lag will probably strike after x number of months use or something along those lines. The same happened to us with the older snaplinks, though we probably didn't let the pages load.

Then again, the site was really laggy at the time... I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens. unsure.gif

Posted by: Doctor Octopus Feb 2 2010, 11:26 PM

Just wanted to pop in to say thank you for the warning about Multi-links. I'd been wondering what was causing that tab lag (I thought it was just the capabilities of my lappy not being able to keep up with the tabs), and it turns out it was just Multi-links. I uninstalled/disabled a couple other of my addons just to be safe though. Colorful tabs wasn't doing me any good anyway. :P

Now I actually can open 20+ users parties (as opposed to the 10 or 12 I was able to open before) at a time and not slow down to freaking Shuckle speed. awesome.gif

You have the Doctor's sincere thanks.

Posted by: Liliac Feb 4 2010, 02:09 PM

Um. I dunno if it's the same problem Confusious had (or has ;x) but if I let all tabs load I get lag switching tabs when clicking.
If they are still loading I don't have this problem.
I'll try to disable multi-links like you said to see if that's the problem.
I'll post the results here.

Yeah - it was Multi-links causing the issue.

Other add-ons you may have could be doing it as well. To check, switch to safe mode, then disable add-ons one by one until you're free from tab-lag.

You can use the older version of multi-links (1.0.0.12, I believe) > snaplinks, though it does have its drawback: Not all selected links will open if you're clicking through the online list; however, you get a nice, smooth drawn box.

Snaplinks, on the other hand, is a little laggy to draw with, but it opens everything, and tab-cycling is just as good as the old multi-links.

Great guide AT cat.gif.. I had to improvise between yours and Cere's one because of my slow computer, but finally managed to get the master clicker achievement.

Cheers

EDIT: and one tip for when snaplinks fails (which I encountered in my clicking spree), you don't need to wait for the page to fully load but you DO need to wait for the snaplink box to fully load and disappear before you close the tab, otherwise you close the tab with the snaplinks, making it stop working for the remaining tabs.

Posted by: Liliac Feb 5 2010, 12:00 AM

AT if you found it out yourself you're the man, well you're already the man xD
I still have some (little) lag but I think is my PC. Snaplinks switch let me open, click and close 200 tabs in 3-4min
I even got 10k (from 3,1 - 6.8/6.9) with 2h30 and while i was having some health issues that got me bit away from the PC.
Thank you so much. xD

Edit: I use the open all button, so snaplinks isn't a problem for me now.

I've gotten a lot of PMs regarding Faviconize Tabs, so I hope this helps

The nice thing about Faviconize Tabs is when you're setting it up, it accepts Wildcards.

For instance if you type in http://gpxplus.net/* it'll faviconize any tab with http://gpxplus.net/ in the url.

If you want it to faviconize ANY tab you come across, you only need to insert one character, the asterisk: *

If you want to JUST faviconize feeding/warming pages, I suggest using the url http://gpxplus.net/info/*

The following URL shows how I have Faviconize Tabs set up: http://i50.tinypic.com/jtwjn7.png

Hope that helps!

Alright, thansk for that *stupid me* facepalm.gif

I downloaded it. And it works! Is that everything or is there another special hint I should know for mass clicking? Now I just open links on the Userlist but then I still have to click every single Pokemon or do you open those Pokemon with Snap Link, too?

And how do I deactivate it?

Thanks in advance! cat.gif

Never mind, I figured it out on my own.

Posted by: Ghost of Starscream Feb 5 2010, 01:04 PM

Arceus Thrasher:

I found out what was wrong with disabling images in Firefox. Specifically, the issue happens if you use the "Exceptions..." button to try and only block images from GPX (if, for example, you want to have other FF windows open that you can browse at the same time for whatever reason). If using the button, then the alternate text will not show up for images, and you cannot interact with any berries. Disabling images by unchecking the box WILL display the alternate text, but again, you now cannot see any images on any website until you re-enable it.

Further, I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but the alternate text doesn't appear at all if you disable images via FF and go to the shelter; if you want to quickly be able to hit up the shelter to get eggs as opposed to the lab, you'd need to use something like ImgLikeOpera.

Posted by: Meiroh Tsukichi Feb 5 2010, 01:18 PM

Yes, that has been said somewhere, but lost inside the page.

You have to check/uncheck the "load images" button, not use the exceptions. But then, it's very easy to change the setting before you go to the shelter or pc, and re-do it after you're done with changing your party. So ImgLikeOpera isn't even needed...

Posted by: Esmee Feb 5 2010, 02:21 PM

Thank you for the guide! I just multilinks and stuff before, but since I read this (a few weeks ago) I disabled the images and know I reach at leat 2000 clicks a day, even when I go to school and stuff.

However, Snaplinks is defently not working for my. It just randomly stops working, so - even tough it is a bit laggy - I use multilinks. wink.gif

In that case, you might have to get a computer technician to have a look and figure out what to do in order to fix it.

In most cases, opening an excessive amount of tabs will only result in the browser crashing, or heavy lag.

For now, just try 10 - maybe 20 - names. It still beats doing it the old way.

NEW FIREFOX ADD-ON DISCOVERY!!

Don't get me wrong, I like ImgLikeOpera, and how it functions, but I believe I found a better add-on.

The main reason I was looking for this add-on, was because of how ImgLikeOpera works.

ImgLikeOpera has a very clunky interface, and it's ALWAYS constantly on, or ALWAYS constantly off, with a little bit of tedious work just to disable or enable images (like my Party page, or the PC).

I found https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5613 for Firefox.

With a simple button press, all images on a webpage are instantly either turned off, or turned on.

One simple button press. Turn off the images > MASSCLICKING RAMPAGE > Turn on images > View your party page to see who clicked you > Turn off images > Click back everyone.

Very simple.

I agree. This is a much better alternative to constantly having to go to tools > options all the time.

it sends me to the last tab
is there any way of fixing this?

Posted by: Rofl Copter Feb 7 2010, 05:08 AM

I can't believe that I just realized that you don't have to open the actual parties of people - you just need to open their pokes on the online list xD

Anyone knows why table tools add-on doesn't work on the new site ?

BTW, you can change if you want the berries to randomize every time from the settings page.

Is there a way, like with Multi-links, to select multiple groups of links or deselect links while using Snaplinks?

Posted by: cuty 93 Feb 7 2010, 07:38 AM

New tip:

On the Users Online page, instead of snaplinking user's names, snaplink the parties.

It saves so much time!

Posted by: Avegaille Feb 7 2010, 09:18 AM

^ That only works with users who have 25k or more interactions, but this new beta is actually amazing, I'm also doing that. xP

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Feb 7 2010, 02:43 PM

Yes - I'm well aware of the Beta upgrade and how much faster Snaplinks is, but I'm not going to change anything until it's made public. Otherwise you'll get a few newbies who'll read this and think, "WTF?"

@ Kobwad: On the new site, TableTools isn't even needed. Every pokémon/egg you see on the side of somebody's username is a pokémon/egg you haven't clicked yet.

@ Swampert Rox: I'm afraid not. All you can do is avoid drawing around it for now.

@ AWW Zobies: I'm no expert on the "open all pokes in new windows" feature, but my only guess is you've set your browser to switch to a new tab as soon as you've opened it. Tools > options > tabs: Uncheck, "when I open a new tab, switch to it immediately."

I'll have to make a note to add a paragraph on that feature.

Posted by: Sarehptar Feb 7 2010, 09:53 PM

I just switched to the new Snap Links because Multi-Links was so slow, but... when using this new Snap Links, the tabs open immediately beside the tab they were selected from--meaning that pokemon and eggs open directly next to their party page, instead of at the end of the list of tabs. Instead of being able to cycle through neatly, I now have to stop at the end of every party and highlight the next party. (I hope that makes sense...)

Is this something I'm doing wrong, or is this just how Snap Links works?

But anyway, that's an important thing, because once the tabs open in the background, using the "open all pokemons" link is really better than snaplinking the whole party.
Well, not so true anymore with the - awesome - new design, though... x)

Safari Guide to Mass Clicking


Safari for Mac

First, you might want to disable party images on the Online list under Settings -> Display party images in online list -> No, unless your computer is better to open up the Pokémon, rather than the parties, but Parties is faster for me. Also, be sure to disable Plug-ins in Safari Settings. Plug-ins sometimes slow down pages that are loading, so if you disable them, it makes load times faster.

Go to the Online list, press the Toggle Unaccented Rows button, and Apple (Command)-click a ton of parties at once.

Then, go through and Apple click the Open All link then close the tab with Apple-W. Repeat until the parties are done, then switch between tabs. (I use F13 and F14; You can change any menu items on a Mac in System Preferences -> Keyboard. Either that, or press the Apple-Shift- -> or <- buttons, but this requires two hands to switch.)

Once you're done, Shift Apple W to close all the tabs in the window, then Apple 3 to open my Pokétch page (it's a bookmark, third one). You can also Option click the little x on the Online list tab to close everything but that tab.


Safari for Windows

Do the same as above, only when switching tabs, use Control Tab.


---

Updated the Safari Mass Clicking for the new site update. Let me know if I forgot anything. happy.gif
Just for the record, doing this all the time, I usually get around 250 clicks in 5 minutes, which is about 45 parties every time.

Hope I helped again! grin.gif

I usually stalk in the lab or shelter while clicking
It helps me a lot

Posted by: Big Bidoof Feb 10 2010, 12:37 AM

Hmm, one pointer that may be worth adding - for people with smaller screens, pressing F11 to put the browser in fullscreen mode can be helpful if you don't have enough space normally to view everything you need.

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Feb 10 2010, 04:10 AM

*Added* Thanks for the info. I had someone ask me about lack of space on another forum. XD


Posted by: MondoTR Feb 10 2010, 02:31 PM

I have a question. How do you get rid of an add-on whose uninstall button is faded? I have a few that stopped working and I can't find a way of removing them.

Anyway, I added some of these and they're great. But I use some different ones as well. From your list I use Image Block, Snap Links Plus, and Flash Block. The ones not listed that I use for clicking are:

Tab Mix Plus - Similar to some of your suggested add-ons, it lets you protect tabs, close similar tabs, close other tabs, close tabs to left or right, and possibly other useful stuff for the site that I haven't notice yet.

Swift Tabs - Instead of using ctrl + tab and ctrl + w, you can set a key combo (ctrl, alt, shift, or command + any other key you choose) to close current tab, move to next tab, or move to previous tab.

Links Like This - Right-click a link, click 'open links like this', and a pop-up will appear with how many links there are similar to that one on the page and with an option with whether or not you want to open them all. I use it for opening all the small Pokemon/egg icon links in the Poketch Interaction tab in one go. I wouldn't suggest using it in the User Online page because that has thousands of links and will bring a pop-up saying a script's running low (just stay stop script and it'll be fine). But the Users Online should be fine if you're like Arceus Thrasher and already clicked most of the people on there. I believe the max it can open in one go is 999 so if your comp/browser can handle it, it's great for opening hundreds of pages in one go.

Feel free to add these to the suggestions if you want. Hopefully you can think of better descriptions.

This is Firefox 3.6, BTW. Don't know about the other two but I used Swift Links when I had 3.0.17 so it should work with most version.

Posted by: Sarehptar Feb 10 2010, 02:39 PM

Ugh! Is there any way to make Snap Links more reliable? Mine breaks randomly on pages that aren't even loading! (I know you have to wait until they finish loading or it will "break", but these pages are completely loaded...) I have the .NET framework add-on and everything. *sigh*

Is there a way to switch back to the older, more reliable version of Snap Links if I use Firefox 3.6?

Posted by: xRadarr Feb 10 2010, 03:08 PM

Wow firefox 3.6 is laggy to the extreme. I feel as though a fix was posted somewhere but I can't find it. -shrug-

PS. Revamp is spelled re-vamp, if you want to include a dash, but the dash is really unnecessary. Revamp is a word without it. ;D

Also: Thanks for listing those add-ons. They look really good on paper, and I'll be sure to test them when I get home from work.

@ Sarehptar: I've heard of an extension called "nightvision", which will let your current browser accept older add-ons that aren't compatible with it to begin with. I've never used it before, but I'll make a note to look into it when I get back from work.

I'll have to start using 3.6 shortly.

Okay, well, I just updated to Firefox 3.6 (because the site read which version I was using and had a rather annoying message at the top saying that I needed to update), and my Snaplinks is doing something rather irksome... when I'm on a user page (like when I'm doing clickbacks; I have the Pokemon links turned off for speed) and open that person's party, they open up directly to the right of the party page, shunting the other tabs over in favor of the Pokemon tabs.

Is there a way to have them open up at the end of the list of tabs? I can't find one on the Options screen for Snaplinks.

Posted by: MondoTR Feb 10 2010, 08:28 PM

Just a note, if you use Tabs Mix Plus to add a 'Close Similar Tabs' option, it closes the tab you're on as well.

Posted by: Liliac Feb 10 2010, 09:14 PM

MP: Go to about:config and find browser.tabs.InsertRelatedAfterCurrent and set it to false.

Also AT I don't know if you aware of this, but since it's not on the screenie you have.. You can toggle the users that have nothing new to click on the online list.

The former two work wonders; however, FireFox 3.5 lags an absolute shitload when you use Links Like This to open up new tabs. .__.;

I'll give it a try with 3.6 now.

I went to 3.6. Snaplinks and all that jazz will still work, so it's all good.

Mind you, snaplinks is just as laggy as it is on 3.5.7.

Sadly, Links Like This is also proving troublesome.

Ok, 3.6 it is happy.gif

Posted by: Big Bidoof Feb 10 2010, 11:58 PM

It's really a minor release, nothing major - I think the only real changes were the addition of Personas (before it was an extension, now they're supported natively), a few new CSS features, some performance improvements, and general bug fixes - anything that says it isn't compatible likely just doesn't have it listed as one of its supported versions, and can be forced to work properly with the Nightly Tester Tools add-on.

Posted by: Confusious Feb 11 2010, 12:06 AM

Is it weird that my computer lags if I'm listening to music and mass click? It's really driving me mental because I love listening to soundtracks while I click.

Posted by: Rofl Copter Feb 11 2010, 12:09 AM

@ Confusious: The only way to know whether if music is causing the lag is to try clicking without music playing, and see if it makes a difference.

Oh, and I don't know why, but I can't mass click without firefox going incredibly slow with 3.6. I'm not sure what it is, so I'm heading back to 3.5.

Posted by: Confusious Feb 11 2010, 12:58 AM

It makes a big difference. I'm clicking now, and I can get through roughly 200 tabs within 3-5 minutes, wheras if I listen to music, it'll take about 8-10 minutes. Quite the difference.

Posted by: Rofl Copter Feb 11 2010, 01:00 AM

Well there's your answer xD. Do you have maybe portable speaker or iPod Dock or anything like that that will let you GPX and listen to music without lag.

Posted by: Big Bidoof Feb 11 2010, 01:02 AM

If you have an extension like Foxytunes IIRC it's called, that could make a difference.

Otherwise, if you're using iTunes, that in itself could be a problem, since the program's a complete pig. dry.gif

Posted by: Confusious Feb 11 2010, 01:21 AM

No and no to both. I use Winamp. I have tried iTunes and it is an even bigger resource hog than Winamp is.

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Feb 11 2010, 01:32 AM

I use iTunes, and I don't have any drama with lag. (unless the site's being laggy)

It might be worth downloading iTunes and giving it a go if FoxyTunes won't yield the results you want.

There was also a way to fix the memory leaks in FireFox, which I'll have to add to the about:config menu when I find the settings for it again. Doing that will compact the files and leave you with more available Mb to use.

Posted by: Doctor Octopus Feb 14 2010, 09:42 PM

@Space: Mephistopheles took a screenie of what the treasure chest looks like when you have the images turned off, but it's pretty much the same as with the screenie of the little man. The text is just different.

Posted by: Arceus thrasher Feb 15 2010, 12:48 AM

Sorry for my unexplained absence, guys. My net was completely fucked, so I couldn't get on. sealed.gif (And it's still being a pile of shit, so if I'm gone for another month or two, it means my cables have been converted to a techno-geek 3-D puzzle that comes with a free soldering iron and some superglue)

I'll get the updating done tomorrow when I get back from work.

@ Ray Howlett: Have you tried both ImageBlock and disabling images through tools > options > content > load images automatically: Uncheck? Note that the two can sometimes clash with one another, so it may take more than one try to get the results you want.

Also: It appears the new site has buttons > image links for disabled berry icons, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore. happy.gif

@ King Gumball: There's a link at the top of the page that says, "users online". Click that, and start linking like crazy!

@ Space: What Dr. Octopus said: Treasure chests appear exactly the same way as the Old Man does. If I ever find one, I'll add the screenshot.

Also, i belive this is the same topic.
Is there an add-on to switch between tab and tab without clicking it??
This goes along the topic of mass clicking.
