    Stub Warning or Genre

    Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be possible in a reliable way. My chapter number userscript uses a hidden "order" number against each chapter in the ToC list, but there doesn't seem to be a gap when chapters are deleted for stubbing: In theory, I could try to detect if the number of...

    Stub Warning or Genre

    On this topic, I've recently made a userscript that emphasises the story status next to the title, which also adds a custom "abandoned" status and you can set how many months since the last update is considered abandoned. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/550489-sh-series-status Unfortunately...

    Userscript Index

    Inspired by this one for Novel Updates, I have a new Scribble Hub userscript after a long time: SH Series Status It finds the series' status (completed / ongoing / hiatus) and displays it prominently after the title. Currently works on individual series pages on both mobile and desktop...

    Can Fandom Tags Be Cleaned Up and Locked Down?

    That is actually something "AI" might be good for. Export the list, ask it merge them including misspellings, and you should at least get a good starting point. Maybe.

    Can Fandom Tags Be Cleaned Up and Locked Down?

    I was clicking through random stories on the Latest widget on the homepage and saw that one of them was ranked #1 in "Harry Potter / Solo Levelling" which seemed very impressive given the popularity of those two franchises! However, the author has actually just created a singular fandom tag...

    Stub Warning or Genre

    I have nothing against stubbing in general if required for authors to publish their books, personal hate for Amazon specifically aside, and don't begrudge authors monetising their work. I don't think stubbed series should be banned from Scribble Hub as existing readers keeping up with the...

    I also just found this one by NU user sgrey in another thread which is super-helpful and I can't believe I never thought to make one like this myself! Change NU Date Format to DD/MM/YYYY https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/date-format-userscript-in-op.87576/page-2#post-5007124 //...

    Reddit Links Open in Same Tab Remove target="_blank" from links within Reddit posts so they open in the current tab. Developed for next chapter links on r/HFY but generic enough that it should work on pretty much any Reddit text post.

    Stop Persecution of VPN Users

    :blob_teary: Yes, and I've bookmarked my place several chapters into the story before my first attempt at rating and reviewing the series. I click "write a review" and the form appears, then click my desired star rating and the stars vanish to reveal the message "VPN detected". Fair, but also...

    Stop Persecution of VPN Users

    No they can't, you have to be logged in to rate or review a series. It doesn't matter how many times you switch your VPN endpoint, the only way to do what you say is to have dozens or hundreds of separate accounts, and blocking all VPN users is not a good or accurate method to detect or prevent...

    Stop Persecution of VPN Users

    Can you please stop treating VPN users like they're criminals, please? There are many valid, important uses for VPNs such as accessing devices at home when away, maintaining privacy from ISPs and governments, adding security to your connection on public wifi or mobile data, avoiding monitoring...

    Resolved Review not posted, stuck at zero stars

    Okay, if that's not allowed as a review then fine, but it would have been nice if it was actually rejected (disappeared) and I received some sort of notification or feedback, instead of being left hanging for days. It's not like one of the 3 existing reviews isn't also a simplistic one-liner so...

    Resolved Review not posted, stuck at zero stars

    About 3-4 days ago I posted a 5-star review on Boosted Restart, but after clicking submit I noticed all of the stars were empty. Clicking any of the stars fills them in and shows a little grey loading spinner briefly, but when I reload the page they're all empty again. I've tried clicking a star...

    Userscript Index

    A new one I've just made for Scribble Hub to compensate for all the dirty heathens authors who stupidly decide not to include an absolute numbering system in their chapter titles, making it almost impossible to know how far through a story you are when binge reading or to discuss quotes / events...

    Userscript Index

    Unrelated to Scribble Hub or Novel Updates, but I also made a script to redirect me from normal Amazon to Amazon Smile so that my purchases result in a donation to charity. For those of you who haven't heard of Amazon Smile, the donation is from Amazon and is at no extra cost to you, the...
