SG+ V2 was being created during testing, so expect it to pop up soon.

Sorry for replying to this reply, but I wanted to get this link as close to the top as I could for people to see so they don't need to ask where to find it.

Sadly the development has stopped at a certain point. Maybe the others continued the work, gotta have to get in touch with 'em again.

I might revive SGV2+ once again..., if anyone is interested, drop me a message.
Comment has been collapsed.
definitely interested. SG is basically unusable for me without it. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Why? A lot of its features are now included in stock sg.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes :D I want to have grind view + new posts from forum on top of the page.
Comment has been collapsed.
anyone? well, A LOT are interested in your work ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Only minor tweaks needed to what you currently have
Comment has been collapsed.
I already have it working with a full overlay, showing comments count, entries, etc, like SG+ did...
Comment has been collapsed.
Update github for the people willing to experiment then ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
you mean SG+ one? or mine? I don't have time to work on coding until next week or so... if you are interested in help, send me a friend request on steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Even if it's only partly working, please consider releasing it in some form. I'm trying to filter out games and it's excruciantingly slow. At this rate it could take weeks of daily grind to get it done, and I mean literally.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no filter in that version of SG+ and will probably never be. There's no point in duplicating features already present on the site.
Comment has been collapsed.
The built-in filter is terribly limited in addition to being slow.
For one, I can't get rid of those damn Star Wars THIS Star Wars THAT Star Wars AND HIS MOTHER, with just one "Star Wars*" entry, I need to filter them out one by one.
It's a messy headache, and impairing my ability to use the site.
Comment has been collapsed.
The built-in filters are a lot better than the one in SG+ since it's a lot faster and doesn't waste bandwidth by sending you boatloads of useless data you're going to filter out anyway. That means faster load times for you, reduced bandwidth costs for cg and a more stable website for everyone.
The only drawback is you can't use wildcards (which would be painfully slow) and can't currently filter out games unless you see them on the main page.
It's a messy headache, and impairing my ability to use the site.
Like to exaggerate much? How hard can it be to spend 5 seconds to hide a giveaway you'd want filtered out? And once you've done it, it's gone for good. Wherever you log in, your block list follows you without the need for any add-on. (That's the thing I hated the most with SG+, having to filter the same games on every computer I use, and still see the games I had filtered out when logging in at my parent's or on my phone.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Is there a way to not see entered giveaways? That's the only feature I miss, but I haven't looked too deep into the new SG yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, that will probably have to be done via scripting unless cg decides to add it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I honestly wonder what kind of system you are using if you're noticing the difference in page load time, for a long time now web pages have been transferred in compressed form and for me there is no difference on a 5 years old machine.
Client side additions are instantaneous, constrast the current system where it takes 10 to 20 seconds to go through the whole process, assuming it works first time and it doesn't get stuck.
Not much eh? except I have hundreds of games to add and after each addition the view is reset to the top of the page and I have to browse the whole page again to find the next game = more wasted time.
It's boring, clunky, and a massive waste of time - as a consequence I'm finding myself not using the site as much.
edit: I just tested the filter now and it's taking way less time than in the past days, fingers crossed it stays that way.
Comment has been collapsed.
The client side addition is faster when you're hiding the giveaway because it simply removes what's already on your screen. The server side implementation takes a couple of seconds to send the request, add the game to the database and reload the page. (Which is 5 seconds, top)
Where it's much faster to do things on the server side like now, is when you're viewing giveaways. If there are 10 pages of giveaways, but only 3 of them not in your filter, the client site addition still need to load 10 pages of giveaways then remove the filtered ones from the screen. The server filtering will only show the 3 unfiltered giveaways on a single page. If you can't see the difference in loading time between one and 10 pages, then I won't believe you have any wait time when adding anything to the filter.

You're free to not believe or believe whatever suits you regardless of how things truly are.
Also notice you don't really need to reply if you haven't anything helpful to say. Save bandwidth, resources and all that stuff.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not about what i believe, it's just cold hard facts. It's faster to remove hundreds of giveaways from the result on the server then send the remaining pages to you than it is to send all of them and having your browser hide them.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm definitely interested. I might even be able to put some time on it once it gets a bit less crazy at work here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Very Interested
Really miss grid view & endless scrolling.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure I am interested, hope you or any other good man finish it.
Please try to include option to import black list game filter from previous version.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, we're interested! I want endless scrolling and I want to enter a giveaway without opening up hundreds of new tabs in my browser!
Comment has been collapsed.
I've been interested in SGV2+ since beta, please, revive it if you can. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
101% interested. Even a script to import the old SG+ filter list to the new site would be a HUGE leap. :)
Of course work on it only IF you have the will AND time.
Comment has been collapsed.
It would be a lot less work if those who WEREN'T interested dropped you a message!
Would be great to see SG+ back, as it plugs a lot of gaps in the website functionality :)

Well, I don't have anything to do with it myself, but I know one of the guys working on it. He passes me code then asks me to tell him how it fails (I'm using Scriptish instead of GreaseMonkey because Monkey always had problems for me).
Comment has been collapsed.
I would be very much interested in filters we can apply regarding giveaways shown.
Comment has been collapsed.
That would be fantastic, it helps a lot on the giveaway section =)
Comment has been collapsed.
Another +1 for SG+v2, I can't use SG without filter list and grid view.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes i need sg+ again. Please built a feature that can show me only giveaways from choosen groups
Comment has been collapsed.
Looking fw to: grid view, comment+enter button, OP highlight, commented-on highlight, WL and GROUP highlights, ... Would be great to know they'll be back. Unfortunately I can't code so I'm unable to help though
Comment has been collapsed.
For the love of a god please do revive it. Using this site wihout endless scrolling is so painful.
And Hide Entered giveaways. Giveaway I just entered should be hidden or they are just waste of space.
Comment has been collapsed.
I miss the filtering, it was 10 times faster with SG+
Comment has been collapsed.
Grid layout + endless scroll.
GA quick view with "comment and enter".
Toggled filtering with keyword support.
Comment form moved to top and with preview pane.
These things are needed. Badly.
Comment has been collapsed.
But how exactly does one install it from the github code?
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't, for now, and also, I dont have any SG+ related repositories, I`ll set up a post later this week to explain better...
The only repository that is actually mine is hosted under my account in Github and it is also broken with the released version of SGv2
Comment has been collapsed.
very nice :) thanks for your work... waiting for sgv2+ :D

Who case it now has ever thing I need Bye Bye Firefox
Comment has been collapsed.
this site is basically unusable now without steamgifts plus so please get on that
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes please and styles, like the dark style @ http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/iO230/userstyle-sgv2-dark - would be welcome also to the script.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1. I just found the dark style script and really like it. It would be nice if its features could be included in the more general SGv2+ script being developed.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd also like to see the menu fixed on top of the screen, so I don't have to scroll back to top just to access it. And the comment box for the discussion board replicated on top of the page (with preview, if possible).
And a pony. And world peace.
Comment has been collapsed.
I had all that in my beta version of SGv2+, most of it is currently broken for one reason or another.
Comment has been collapsed.
The pony and world peace are probably the most broken parts of it. They might actually be unfixable.
Comment has been collapsed.
The temporary version with endless scrolling and Reply box at the top is good enough for me, for the time being. Those were my two biggest issues.
Comment has been collapsed.
id like to have the features that sg+ had including complete filtering and endless scrolling
