Hey, guys I have a problem. How does those buttons actually work?
A girl that occupies most of my days just reached 100 posts on the Codex, but she still can't use them.
What is the avaibility of them? When will they appear for her?
Are there any specific restrictions?

IIRC back in the Brofist Era you had to either fork over some shekels or be a member for a year to be able to fist (and view certain forums). Might be the same for buttons?

I really only need a fist, spell checker, and maybe an autism-trigger warning system. Anyone who needs more than that is a faggot.

Where did the "sheep" go?

Anyway, now that it's gone, just rename this icon

to "tool".

All my processes for open tabs seem to average 70-90% CPU (that is one core) for a full 25-post page now.

It seems to kind of be a combination of mistakes on the developer's end, and the browser's.

Developer:
  • He uses javascript to fade the opacity from 0 to 1, or 1 to 0 explicitly in the style.
  • He also puts some stupid script block before each rating list that defines a minimum opacity, instead of doing a more normal 'data-minimum-opacity' in the rating list's div.
  • When the opacity is 0, he doesn't set the 'visibility' CSS properties on his '.dark_postrating_inputlist' CSS class to 'hidden' or 'collapsed' so that all the buttons don't do a full render pass
Web Browser:
  • They don't take the obvious shortcut for opacity: 0 and treat it as being implicitly 'hidden' or 'collapsed'

setting visibility to hidden reduces the average CPU consumption to 10% for me from the average 70-90%.
What really seems to kill CPU is the great number of these ratings that are animated gifs; without this visibility:hidden, it seems to keep drawing them and animating them in the background.
And also to be fair to the developer, he had made a single spritesheet, and didn't expect people like DU to upload another 50 ratings without a spritesheet, and then have a larger number of animated ones too.

A little script for stylish to curb the worst of its excesses.

Code:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("www.rpgcodex.net") {
  
  /* curb the worst excesses of the ratings */
  ul.dark_postrating_inputlist[style*="opacity: 0;"] {
    visibility: hidden;
  }
}
