Beta Unity Answers Add-on
EDIT: I'm afraid I am no longer updating this browser add-on, because it is too time consuming. Thought it was a nice test to see in what ways UnityAnswers could be improved or what might be a nice addition to the site.
Thank you to all of you who tried it out and if you have any questions about it please let me know. Also, if anyone has any experience developing browser add-ons or generally coding in javascript/jquery, feel free to update/extend upon this if you like :)
So I've been working on adding some extra functionality to the website since a couple days and here are some of the features I have included so far:
• Links to youtube - videos will automatically be embedded in questions/answers/comments
• Advanced questions tab
• 'reject & send default message' button for the moderation qeue
• a simple notepad that will save text/notes for you directly on the page
• Customizable theme/look of Unity Answers
Here's a video on how to add it to your browser/what it currently does - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaNH6XD02JM
Edit: Now also got it working in chrome - had to rewrite some of the files because chrome does not allow direct includes of js files such as the jquery library.
JavaScript Files (Chrome Version)
To add these to your extensions simply browse to chrome://extensions/ and then drag the javascript files into the browser window. You should get pop up window.
Haven't checked safari yet..

Very cool idea. If you haven't already, you should post this in the forum, where it's less likely to be buried.
Totally Awesome =]
Edit : You deserve it, these add-ons have made my week! Sorry all the accepted answers spammed you. If people actually accepted answers, all our karma would double.
Cheers, btw never been attacked by so much spam in my inbox before ;)
Great stuff, don't suppose you've any idea how I could make it work on Safari? I've got the scripts in Ninja$$anonymous$$it but not much appears to be happening :S
Confirmed tested and working on the 'mac : Safari and Chrome. I wrote some step-by-step instructions here : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/460507/meta-can-the-merry-christmas-addons-be-used-on-mac.html
Also working on Windows Firefox, however the youtube video isn't embedded. There is empty space allocated for the video, but no video. It really doesn't worry me, just thought I would mention it in case you wanted to know. It could even be something to do with my setup, who knows.
$$anonymous$$usic blaring, singing away, so very happy. oops, my insanity is showing. Thanks again, this is so awesome. Now I'm going to play around with customizing my 'reject answer' message. Freaking Awesome!
Here is an additional script that will let you highlight a word and check if it is in the unity documentation.
If the word is found it will turn into a link to the specific documentation page and if the term is not found in the database a window will appear that lets you add the new term and the link to it's documentation page.
This is basically meant to make it easier to quickly access information on a specific term, without having to type it into a search engine.
Currently this works by highlighting the term you want to find in the docs, pressing the 0 key on your keyboard and then clicking the search term that you just highlighted:
This should work on any webpage, so you can easily check the docs when you need to.
Currently you have to press the 0 key, but you can easily change this to any other key combination. Also, note that not all the documentation pages are indexed in the database yet so quite a few of the terms will not yet direct to the specific doc page.
I will probably be adding the rest within the next few days..
Here's the firefox version of the script (I will add chrome and safari scripts soon though):
