Although others report shwoing too much comments for their posts, my weblog (http://www.minitrue.nl) however does contain comments, but they are not shown on the AideRSS-page.
(Can it have something to do with using another language than English?)
I recently joined and I started my importing my OPML list. AideRSS imported the first 25 ones warning me that the other 80 ones 'are queued for import and will be added to your account shortly'.
My supposed top two blog posts have completely inaccurate data as to the number of comments they received - way in excess of what was submitted to me for moderation. I suspect you may be counting attempted spam comments
The Top Post widget I added to my blog has been static (no updates at all). At first, I was confused about why. Now it appears that the problem is due to aideRSS not counting Haloscan comments in the PostRank. It would be great to have a solution for those of us using Haloscan for comments.
Filtering to Great.. and then clicking 'Mark all as Read', should only mark those great items as read.. not all unread items (that are best, good etc..).
Add the colour code to the widget to make it blend in even better.
And perhaps a few shapes next to the traditional square.
Like round, inverted square (opposite background colour), etc.
Have just installed the new Greasemonkey script for Firefox 3 (and also tired the plug-in), but so far am still only getting the AideRSS pull-down menu (excellent, good, great). I'm personally running FF3 RC1 on OS X 10.5.3.
I'm assuming I should be seeing something else, correct?
What services or sites does aiderss all check for tabulating blog comments? Aiderss shows comments for some of my blog postings that are not on my blog. Where are they?
no dropdown. the aiderss dropdown in reader w/ firefox 3 & gm shows up as a text box. I can type in 'best' and it works, but I'd rather see the dropdown. i just upgraded to 2.1, but i still have this issue
I found that for me, using Firefox 3.0 and the greasemonkey version of the script, AideRSS breaks the way Google Reader used to work:
- Without AideRSS, when i click on a the subject of a feed entry while holding down the <ctrl> key, a new tab is created but i stay on the Google Reader tab. With AideRSS i ́m catapulted to the new tab; very annoying.
- With AideRSS when selecting a post i stays unread; also annoying.
To update everyone, we've tidied up the Google Reader extensions, so there are no longer two separate downloads depending on whether you're using Firefox 2 or 3. The extension also works with Greasemonkey.
The latest version of the extension supports both versions of the browser, and is available via the main Google Reader extension page: http://gr.aiderss.com/
The separate beta extension page with the zip file download is no longer necessary.
Well, after a bunch of changes, 2 or 3 invites, extension and greasemonkey script installations, re-installations, I have given up. No I will not use Firefox 2, no I don't want anymore invites. I am using Firefox 3 now.
Never have I seen a more complicated software installation process.
After receiving another invite via e-mail I did a fresh install of the extension. It did not work. Then I tried to install the greasemonkey script and my browser froze. When I restarted and navigated to Google Reader all I got was the orange drop-down menu. It does nothing. I chose individual feeds and all that. Nothing.
To be honest, this takes an extraordinary amount of patience even to try to tolerate this bugginess. This should have been labeled as Pre-Alpha, use at your own risk, not ready for primetime.
I tried, very hard to get this to work and it consumed a lot of my time. I would recommend you just prominently warn Firefox 3 users that an installation this product is not to be attempted.
I will check back soon to see if any progress has been made. AideRSS looks like a very nice usefull tool. I just don't have the patience or time to fiddle with this anymore.
Good luck and look forward to using this soon. Thanks.
I would like to drastically speed up the flitering level adjustment process. There are at least three ways to do this:
#1 - Allow the user to set a default filtering level for new feeds.
#2 - When importing a block of feeds, allow the user to set a flitering level prior to the actual import process
#3 - On the "My Feeds" page, instead of dropdown lists for each feed, the page could have columns for ALL, GOOD, GREAT, and BEST and the user could check the level for each feed. This would shorten the process of click, wait for dropdown list to expand, select, repeat for each item. Alternatively (or in addition), have a global checkbox and a select action box (think of selecting a whole page of messages in gmail)
i installed the googlereader firefox extension and all i see is a drop down menu for all/good/great/best and nothing else new in google reader. Am I missing something? I am using Firefox 3. I don't remember explicitly installing Greasemonkey but I don't know how to tell if it is installed or not. I am very frustrated as this extension looks like the kind that I would love and want to share with many people, but I am close to giving up on it. Help?
But when I add this feed into AideRSS, auto-discovery is performed and the main feed
from DownloadSquad front page (http://www.downloadsquad.com/rss.xml) is added instead of the specified feed.
AideRSS is reporting that the Hacker News feed (http://news.ycombinator.com/rss) has not been updated in 13 days, when in reality it appears to have never stopped updating.
