Unread Topics

This is a Google Chrome extension developed to try to help the users (including myself) of a SMF Forum.

The main feature is to automatically fetch and open the unread posts in different tabs. In addition, users can upload images into their posts with a simple copy-paste.

At lunchtime, the canteen menu can also be consulted.

Features

  • Fetch and open unread topics
    • Key shortcuts
    • Sidebar injected on forum
    • Icon popup page
  • Search for topics by name
  • Sync personal settings with Google Account
  • Display preview of images/GIFs/videos from their URLs
  • Sync/display canteen month menus
