There was a second message about using Chrome in here, but I deleted it before I decided to answer this.
Note Eraser for Chrome has been busted since the update to 2.0 because…… i have no idea. It’s just broken, the @require that worked fine to tie in with jQuery doesn’t for Prototype.js and Google brings me basically no responses but “@require doesn’t work in Chrome” (but it does with jQuery, so I guess that’s wrong and it’s back to square one)
I’ve recruited a developer* to work on a solution and today he managed to make it functional….. as an extension. So I guess that’s how things will go for the Chrome version? There’s still work to do, it is even MORE complicated to install at the moment (if you think the instructions I did manage to write make no sense you should hear the current process to make it work haaahahahahaha,) but I’m hoping that he can sort out a “settings” page for the blacklist/whitelist to go in and everything will be good.

I want to stress a LOT that I AM IN NO WAY A PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER. I’m not even really a hobbyist when it comes to the Javascript this thing is written in. I’m not looking for a career doing any of this, so if I have work to focus on, or if I just don’t want to do it? Development and tech support go to the bottom of the priorities pile. I’m glad Note Eraser helps people, and I’m glad folks like the themes I write sometimes, but hopefully you all can understand that it isn’t exactly a productive use of my time.
Also if anyone who DOES have a real passion for Javascript is interested in picking up Note Eraser and running with it, please be my guest. I’m sure anyone who has used Javascript, uh…. ever… before picking up the project will be waaaayyy more capable than me.

but anon so will i
i’d have to see those posts every day
i’d have to deal with the truth that people look at those posts claiming there’s a rare gene that makes people have purple eyes and never menstruate but still they can have kids and they live to 150 but they never look gross and old and they never are overweight and always ~totally hot~ and they don’t poop and go “wow that sounds legit and cool and definitely not a fanfic premise being regurgitated as fact! i am going to hit reblog to tell my whole dash!!!!”
my whole life would be like i was on yahoo answers
is that what you want
if so, you are a cruel anon indeed
no, it's a project that's been around for several months and they already have a lot of talented people on the team. they're being really professional about it. i think the end product's supposed to be about 9 minutes long?

the first one that came up when i googled doesn’t have a finished script, just a lot of voice actors. the first three pages of their official tumblr have reblogged stuff from people recruited to various teams, but nothing actually related to the project except asks about writing auditions. and the third page is posts about a MLP convention and otter videos??? and it gets more personal blog-y from there.
unless I got the wrong project or something, I’m sorry, best of luck to them, but my hopes aren’t high that this’ll make it to the finish line.
yo yo yo have you ever considered auditioning as an animator for the homestuck anime project

i didn’t even know that was a thing
If it’s an attempt to do more than like, a short of maybe 5 minutes, I hiiiighly doubt I’d consider it, because that would be so doomed to failure Sollux would hear its screams 24/7
Animation is way more work than a lot of people think, and takes a fuckton of coordinating. Getting everyone in a fan project to even use the same tools would be hard work.
Just a thought regarding your headcanons, maybe Porrim used to be chubby like Kanaya, but in the three sweeps of their null session she grew up really tall (Dolarosa WAS the tallest of the Signless, Psionic, and Disciple) and her body evened out into an hourglass figure? That's sort of what I was thinking would happen...

Ah, while I don’t dislike the idea, I’m already using that kinda body change on Jade and Jake- both are p chubby when they’re young in my designs, and slim down by way of puberty. And since we’re introduced to Porrim when she’s pretty much an adult there’s not as much opportunity to draw her at different stages, unlike the Harley/English kids, who we see as babies, children, young teens, older teens, and elderly.
(haha it feels weird calling it a headcanon when it’s not anything I like to believe is true, so much as somewhat arbitrary choices I’ve made to distinguish the characters when I draw them.)
Anyways, I think I’m gonna wait til we see the rest of the new kids (in more than tiny leaked sprite form, I mean) before I make a decision on what I wanna do… I do think I might go with her ultimately being taller than Kanaya though! That’s a thought- same general body types in weight and proportion but at different heights… hmmm!! I just might play with that a bit!
Sigh I hate to bother you about this, but I have a question about note eraser. Does it work on side blogs? I have a side blog for art and this ONE picture is getting a ton of notes and it's pretty annoying. I installed it and followed the instructions but it doesn't seem to work! u___u

It should! It works by sorting out the URL of the post getting too many notes from the dashboard’s HTML, and removing the offending lines so you don’t have to see it. as long as you have the correct URL, sideblogs should be blocked exactly the same as a main one.
If it’s not working, please make sure you are:
- Using a userscript extension like Greasemonkey (Firefox), Scriptish (Firefox), or Tampermonkey (Chrome)
- Have no blank quotes in the white list or black list, like ” or ’ ‘
- Have the proper URL of the post in question in the black list
Those are the most common issues with the script not blocking notes. If you have further questions, please don’t be shy in leaving me another ask or a logged-in one! Bothering me is fine- I recognize Note Eraser is more complicated than your average tumblr extension, and often has weird errors. I do tech support over private answers for themes note eraser on fairly regular basis. :)
I may not always be able to fix things though- Note Eraser was seriously my first stab at Javascript!!
I can't seem to be able to change font color in text posts to make them more pesterlogish, it just erases the space between sentences and that's it. Worked on my iphone though. Do you know what might be the problem? I tried three different computers to no luck. Even tried another browser

I’m not 100% sure what’s going on there with the space erasing, and I haven’t made a whole ton of forays into font colors in posts, so I don’t know all the ins and outs of what Tumblr will strip from your text…
But I did write up the basics of coding colors into your Tumblr posts a while ago. You can try using method three, I’ve seen that kind of thing work for blogs since I wrote it. (Make sure to read method two though, and don’t just copy the html I have there! <tag> won’t work, you need <span> or <div> or the like)
