hey. i've seen screenshots of people's main steamgifts page, the core steamgifts.com page, and they had a button next to each giveaway where you'd click it and it would enter you from right there without having to go to the giveaway's page and enter that way. personally what i do right now is just open a new tab for each one i want to enter and once i'm done with that page i go and enter each one. anyway, is there some extension/theme i can install to get the button i described?

first post here, i'm hoping this is the right spot for it.

ESGST has this option. You can get it from here. Just follow the instructions on how to install the script, if it works you will see a new ESGST button on the top of the page on Steamgifts.

Click the button, type "giveaway button" in the search bar, and enable the setting in the list. This will put an Enter/Leave button for every giveaway on the front page.

I do advise you to at least turn on the "pop up description when entering", so you can see if people say something in the description.

You can't totally turn this pop ups off, only filter them so next time such description won't be shown.

Also never turn on the auto enter feature as it can get you banned.

A while back (before I even heard of this site, I was just browsing) I was looking through extensions on Firefox and found one called "AutoJoin For SteamGifts." I had no idea what that was, so I looked into it. Now I'm here at level 6 and steadily climbing. lol. Anyway, "AutoJoin For SteamGifts" has the "join" button on the front page, as well as several other nice features (my favorite is "infinite scroll" ... no more "next page", it just tacks onto the bottom of the current page when you scroll down that far). It does have the option to really do autojoin, but it flat out says don't do it because you can get your account banned ... not that I actually see much bot banning happening. Even if it was allowed, I wouldn't want to use the autojoin feature because there are some games (pretty much anything to do with sports, for example) I just don't ever want to touch. It also has the ability to display the description on the main page, but for me it doesn't show up until after I've already hit "Join" at which point it's kind of redundant. There are several other things it can do (like dark mode) that are cool but I don't bother with. I don't use ESGST (I tried it, it just didn't do anything that I felt I needed and I couldn't already do with Autojoin) but it seems most of the things Autojoin can do, it can as well ... so it's really a matter of personal opinion as to which one you're better using. I say try each one, turn ESGST off while trying Autojoin, and vice versa. See which one you like better.

My point was that I didn't even know the site existed, let alone what it was, when I found the extension, but because I did find the extension, I joined the site, which lead to me participating beyond just joining giveaways. In other words, I wouldn't even be here if I hadn't stumbled across the extension, but now I'm not only here, I'm a contributor.
