Fimfiction Advanced 4.4: Feed me baby one more time

1. The FEEED

Otherwise known as the whole title of this blog post. Fimfiction Advanced now includes a far more powerful and customisable site feed aimed at better productivity and stuff.^*

The features of the new feed fall into two categories: The Fancy Feed (or Smart Feed), and the Simple Feed.

1.1 Fancy Feed
By default the site only has two states the feed can appear in: All expanded, or all collapsed. I've added a third state called mixed where all of old items you're already seen (as in were there the last time you loaded the feed) will appear collapsed, whilst new ones will all be expanded and have a handy colouration to tell them apart. *

1.2 Simple Feed
Any one else frustrated by loading the feed just to see half the page filled up by, say, one or two stories? Not any more! The Group By Stories option reorders all group feeds so each story title is displayed only once with the added folders appearing below them as a string of tags.

This saves both time and energy!

But wait, there's more! (Gasp!)

Separate Blogs will move group icons to the right, making it easy to scan down either side of the page for the types of content you want. Knighty's useless colour bars have also been moved to full-height stripes down the left, where they are objectively more useful as a visual aid. The original horizontal lines were susceptible to some banding effect which made the relationship unclear. I found simply moving them to where you don't have any white gaps, and also making them larger, somewhat resolved it.

Think of it as you will.

2. Pony Chapter Themes

Remember those pony-based chapter themes? Well they're baaaack!

I've restored all of them with only minor differences. Otherwise they should work just as they used to.

Aaaand that's it! Well, I think that's it. Is there more? As Butch Hartman would say, "Well I dunno."

Less note-worthy changes:
- Adjusted the height of the banner in order to show more of its image.
- Banner images will also be centered vertically by default, better framing their content.
- Fixed some bugs with the custom logo and made it slightly larger as requested. (:D)
- The userbar is now stuck using "position:sticky"meaning it looks pretty dang awesome.

* I got tired of always having to sift through a sea of identical items trying to remember which are new.
** Disclaimer: The feed counter may not always be correct. Blame knighty for not making this easy.

Edit: Now with a download link .

The advanced script seems to download for me, but then I get a message saying, "Apps, extensions and user scripts cannot be added from this website." Has anyone else gotten this? Any ideas on how to get around it?

What browser are you using, and did you install the extension first?

I thought it was installed, but it wasn't, duh. It works now. Thanks for the assist!
