QC Userscript
« on: 12 Jan 2013, 11:03 »

Hi,
I've made a simple QC userscript for anyone interested.
For those, who don't read QC on daily basis, but only every few days, it could be troublesome remembering, which script you've read last and how far you should backtrack to catch up with the comic. This script saves the last strip you've read, so when you visit QC homepage, you can jump straight to the point you've ended.
Tested in Opera, but it should work on any browser supporting HTML5 localStorage
link to userscripts.com

I've been reading QC for over a year, and I've had this problem, Ind I finally managed to get into making a userscript to solve it. Hope someone finds it useful.
If it doesn't work for some reason, don't hesitate to tell me.

EDIT: thanks Pilchard123 for noticing

That link tag is malformed, but I've fixed it below.

Does it affect traffic to the site in any way - as in, Jeph won't get hits on it? If so - not going there.

According to the source it just adds a button tithe main page navigation that links to an archive page that gets set when you visit the site. A least that's how I parse it.

Yeah...that's about right....it's just a small thing, but it's been bugging me for a while and I finally got into making a little script, that adds that functionality. I'm not sure if the script is not too specific for my purposes, but I've decided to share it anyways, so anyone can decide whether they find it useful.

If you read each page, then Jeph gets the hits.  The things that might affect Jeph are (1) sites that copy the comics and serve them themselves, and (2) ad blockers.
