VeeHD Enhanced od SubDevo

Also for Chrome!

The goal of this extension is to make the VeeHD.com experience as user-friendly as possible without changing the "brand that is veehd". No major cosmetic theme changes, simply "enhanced". Most commonly used info is a click away. All site bugs that can be fixed client side has been done. Many features have been added to "enhance" the basic functionalility of the site for all, including special features for uploaders and normal users alike. A couple examples... on video pages, you now have a choice of using HTML5 video player, DivX Web Player, or VLC Web Plugin instead of just Flash. Optional player options will appear only if installed, enabled and supported by the browser. For uploaders... streamlined video edit page, enhanced overview page with many helpful features such as video sorting, filtering and statistics (new views, avg video size etc). This is a VERY small example and there are a huge amount of obvious and not so obvious helpful enhancements.

  Right-click in the box (it automatically selects all) and copy. I then save that to a text file. If I need to reup the same vid, I simply find the entry (ctrl-f) in my text file, copy that section, go to the new video edit page, open the Import/Export box. Right-click and paste into the box. Then click the "Click here to fill this page with the above data." link and all fields will be filled instantly.

Dashboard

• If you have uploaded vids transferring or ready to publish, they will be hidden and a bar appears with the number of problem, transferring and publishable vids in the bar. Click the bar to hide/show the vid list.
  This streamlines your timeline. Especially if you hold onto vids to publish later.

• Avatars wider than 200px are forced to 200px width.
• You can now change the look of your profile. Use background image(s) or color.
  Change the color/size/font of the text and more. You need to add an empty link with standard CSS style statements in it.
  Use "profileall" to style the entire page (not the mini dash)
  Use "profilemain" to style only the middle section (Only your profile. NOT mini dash/avatar section and 5 most popular vids at bottom).
  There must NOT be any spaces in the CSS. Remove them. Some CSS requires spaces.
  Just replace them with %20.
  Example: border:1px solid #300; should be border:1px%20solid%20#300;
  Here are some examples with a repeating background image.
  [url=profileall=background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/cKEVaDc.png);][/url]
  [url=profilemain=background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/FLiI58f.png);][/url]
  The following entire line is the one I have on my profile. Just copy/paste to test!

• Changed the flat, grey background of the "Posts/Replies/Last Activity" bars to a gradient (looks nicer IMHO).

  If you highlight text, the ubb code is put around (before and after) the highlighted text.
  Smilies are also now inserted in a post at the cursor position.
  
  NOTE: The new "UBBC bar" will also appear when you edit posts in the forum (also with the dropdown) and in video comments/replies, new PM/replies, dashboard quick reply, and on the edit profile page.
• When editing a post, default textarea is larger (still resizable).
