When I'm not working, I have a tendency to meddle in bug reports on Meta or take part in writing userscripts for the Stack Exchange network which add features that sometimes get implemented natively. Here's a few you may be interested in:

I've also been known to occasionally break (and sometimes fix!) the Data Explorer, and to busy myself with maintaining the Election Statistics page.

comment How can we Call Api (By some URL)with API key and token?
@BrockAdams Yeah, I felt the same way...I went ahead and asked someone about it.

@BrockAdams StackApps is missing that close reason for some reason

comment How can we Call Api (By some URL)with API key and token?
Your question is very vague. Are you asking how to call the Stack Exchange API in .NET?

comment SE Chat Modifications — Keyboard navigation and commands for chat
@msh210 Yeah, we had considered that before, we just never quite got around to looking into it. I'll make a note and see what I can do, though.

comment How do you trigger the search/advanced 'q' parameter to search all words?
Right, the unencoded + are just spaces in the search string

@doncherry Pushed out changes just now, so if you grab the latest you should be good to go. Let me know if you have any other issues.

@doncherry Ah...apparently this is an issue with Firefox and jQuery's handling of a change I made two months ago that neither side seems inclined to fix. Looks like I can work around it, so I'll do that when I get home today. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll make sure that next time I test thoroughly in Firefox.

@doncherry Hmm, I haven't had any issue in Chrome, but let me check Firefox and get back to you if I need more info. As far as the title goes, I'll take care of that, sorry about the confusion!

comment Why does adding fromdate=<long time ago> return a different set than without it?
Yeah, it does appear to only be taking questions with score >= 0. You can convince it to do otherwise, but I don't think this behaviour is intentional.

Patents doesn't have a legacy API, so the script broke there. I've updated the script to use API 2.1, which should fix the problem. Let me know if you continue to experience issues after updating.

@Gilles Oh, and if you have SE Modifications -- Username autocomplete in comments, inline revision source, and utility links installed, it was causing an error as a result of this change that may impact the setup for this script. I've patched that issue now, so be sure to update to the latest version if applicable.

@Gilles Hmm...it seems to still be working for me, so I don't suspect anything changed on the sites...Are there are any error messages in the console? It looks like I never got around to registering for an API key for this script (I've now made a note to do so), so there's a very small chance you've exceeded the anonymous API quota somehow, I suppose.

@doncherry Thanks! You don't receive credit if the link was clicked inside of the Stack Exchange network anyway (as would be the case with comments), which is why it removes the referral slug.

comment /posts/{id}/revisions breaks for posts with [tag:*] content
Ah ha, I didn't even see the tag in the Mathematica post. I'll update this accordingly, for good measure...appreciate the quick response!

comment SE Modifications — Username autocomplete in comments, inline revision source, and utility links
The only issue with moving them to the next line was that I felt it was a bit ugly...but clearly this is no better. Part of the problem is that the HTML there makes me sad, but there's only so much to be done about it. I'll work on it some and see what sort of solution I can come up with, thanks for the report!
