Indeed a wise suggestion! First I need to attend the replacement of all the old XP bits with the new glorius Win7 bits.

I can think of few reason why this is happening:

  • Are you actually running chrome?
  • Old version of chrome? Update.
  • Not enabled for some reason. Try appending " –enable-user-scripts" to the chrome shortcut

Hope that helps

I have 15.0.874.24 beta-m. I tried do what you said, but it only open page "xn--enable-user-scripts-475k/" (not found). With shorter "-" it do nothing. Is there option to intall it "manualy"?

Oh, it should be enabled by default then. Here are the steps.

  1. Click continue, screen cap
  2. Click Install, screen cap 2

If you are not getting does then you must be running some extension or option that blocks it.

I figured out that i can't install any addon. :) I don't even get message that it is addon (your first screen cap). Not even in anonymity mode. I succesfully installed your addon this way. I had to do my own manifest file. :/ Thanks for trying to "help".

Can we get the search bar in your bar at the top? Not a huge drawback but it would be nice, that's all. Thanks!

Also if there's a way to make the amount of points a brighter color, like a slight off-white would be better too, its hard to see them right now :P

Addon's search bar only searches through the loaded results, so you can sort another way after without the need to reload. It is technically difficult to wrap the addon around the SG search feature without rewriting major parts of the code.

I am staying away from features that change the theme as the addon does not load on all parts of the site. It will break the consistency and feel wierd. You can probably find an addon that does that.

The enough points system doesn't work properly, because it doesn't filter the game you own.

Any way we can hide DLC for games we do not own?! This would be awesome!

If you go in the filter setting you can use wildcard. Say 'magicka*', which would hide everything magicka.

Yep, that's what I'm doing now, took me a few tries to get it working. It'd be nice to auto-hide all DLC and show them only for games you own, but I can see how that would be terribly difficult to code in.

You cant tell game giveaway from DLCs therefore no way to make it as some sort of an option.

Depends on how they name the DLCs. If you they use ':' after the game name is easy.

I have the same issue, but I've just ignored the GOTY edition now. It shows up on our sync pages as:

Borderlands
Borderlands DLC Pack
Borderlands: Claptrap's Robot Revolution
Borderlands: Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot
Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

No Zo, it not exists as Borderlands: Game of the Year, but I have bought it like GOTY version, so it looks like everyone who bought GOTY version have not in the list Borderlands: Game of the Year, but all of these:

Borderlands
Borderlands DLC Pack
Borderlands: Claptrap's Robot Revolution
Borderlands: Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot
Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr Ned

Use the ignore button or add it manually in 'giveaway filter setting'. Put the name like that: ",Borderlands: Game of the Year" (Without the double-quotes)

Thanks Zo, I know this functionality - it works. I wrote all of that only for information how it is with this GOTY version.

Is it possible to make the giveaways that you entered through the shortcut grayed out on the main page? Like, without refreshing the page.

Only after you refresh the main page. It's a bit annoying if you want to manage your entries while gremlins do their thing and there are multiple giveaways of the same game.

a bit of bugreports:
If I have a game in my wishlist, then I buy it and want to add it to ignore here - i click ignore button. but game doesn't disappear. and it's added to ignore list as many times as I click ignore button.
so, two suggestions:

  1. check if game is already in list
  2. ignore > wishlist
