StatusCheck
Hi again Alex! I recently added your StatusCheck script to my monobook, and found it to work nicely, but I also wanted to see how long the user had been idle. I was considering adding the functionality directly to yours (as an option), but decided not to, lest I inadvertently break it. In case you are interested in adding this yourself, the modifications are found here: User:Decltype/status.js (diff). Regards, decltype (talk) 15:42, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I'll consider modifying/adding it. Cheers. A le_Jrb talk  16:26, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

igloo
Hey, I'm very interested in trying this out. Haven't been on Wikipedia for a while, but I used to do quite a lot of vandal-fighting and igloo seems the perfect way of getting back into it. Also, the way you built it seems very interesting as well ;) Thanks  - sorf ane 18:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

igloo
Hey there. I am curious, is this similar to the Huggle interface? Also, when I tried to use it recently, I got this: " - Warning: igloo server returned an error: igloo-fail-auth: the server received your request but actively chose to refuse it. Loading stopped."

Not sure if it's due to my school's filter or what, but just letting you know. Cheers.  Until It Sleeps  alternate   18:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey. It's kinda similar to the huggle interface, though I actually modelled it off the VandalProof interface, for which I was one of the developers oh-so-long-ago. That message means exactly what it says - igloo requires authentication to use at the moment, because it's in testing, and you aren't authenticated. That's why the igloo page says you'll need to ask me if you want to use it. I'll add you. A le_Jrb talk  20:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm also about to flood you with suggestions. ;) It would help if there were, say, different queues, like the ones in Huggle, that have only IP/newly registered user edits too... It would also help if you put in a function that can go back to diffs you've viewed previously... And I don't really like the assertion thing very much... Those last 2 things seem to hinder looking through the rather large amount of diffs that come into the list, especially if, like me, you go tend to want to go through a large amount of diffs in a short time, looking for vandalism. Also, doing nothing but pressing "E" for a while eventually makes the session expire, which is very annoying...  Until It Sleeps  Wake me    20:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers. Yeah, it's in pretty initial development still (alpha testing - main systems only), though I'm happy that it actually works from the browser. The server times you out for inactivity if you don't make assertions. In general, you can pretty much ignore the system and just use the spacebar to get the next diff. You should only really use E if you think it could be vandalism or non-constructive, but don't want to revert it for some reason. It doesn't display the user who made the edit, because I haven't got round to extracting it yet, but you generally see IP edits first, and users after. Other features will have to go on the to-do list: I'm managing several projects at the moment. Thanks for the feedback. A le_Jrb talk  20:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I see you are back...
...so how was your vacation?

Yeah, I know, it's suspicious of me to just want to leave a social message, so I won't deny it: While you were away, created a fork of the CSDHelper for me that allows me to track the declined speedies at User:SoWhy/List of declined speedies (see User:Auto/csd.js). But since I would rather use your official build again, I wanted to ask if you could incorporate that functionality into it (which basically means you would have to a.) be willing to add such a feature, b.) see what decltype added and c.) copy said code to your build). So, what do you say? Regards  So  Why  20:54, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Howdy. My holiday was pretty awesome, even if I do say. I can indeed add that code to mine, I will update it at some point today to tomorrow. A le_Jrb talk  21:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear, both things. Regards  So  Why  08:45, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The script is now updated, and will allow you to log your declines to the same table. I don't know about the existing variables, but I have them set as logOnDecline = true and logOnDeclinePath = 'wherever you want'. Cheers, A le_Jrb <sup style="color:blue;">talk  11:32, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much :-) Regards  So Why  11:33, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Umm...minor thing: Your version only logs the declined speedys when one chooses to notify the tagger. Could you change it to log all declines, no matter if one chooses to notify the tagger (or to add an option to choose when to log)? I do want to log the declines even if I do not want to notify them each time. Regards  So Why  11:57, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It should work now - hard refresh. A le_Jrb <sup style="color:blue;">talk  12:08, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you very much Regards  So  Why  12:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Igloo Test - Interested
Hi, I'm interested in trying out Igloo. I noticed it (accidentally) by stalking Until it Sleep's talk page. Think it's pretty cool, so wanted to try it out.  Gl ac ier   Wo lf   00:15, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, any plans for the tool to be usable with Vector? ATM, I can only use it in Monobook (and, even then, still need to be approved). ;)  Gl ac ier   Wo lf   00:21, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey there. I have no plans, currently, to make it work with the Vector skin, especially as it's still unfinished on monobook. Perhaps at some point in the future, but it's definitely not certain. I've added you to the test list. A le_Jrb <sup style="color:blue;">talk  10:04, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
