Description:

As of 1.10 this now also works in Firefox / Greasemonkey.

This is a userscript that modifies the Linked and Related sidebar lists to show answered status and other info:

Features:

  • Draws border around "answered" questions (questions with an accepted answer or an answer with a score > 0).
  • Italicizes titles of questions with no answers (can be different than "unanswered").
  • Changes score box tool-tip to show answer status, answer count, and question up/down vote count (even if you don't have the privilege).
  • Caches sidebar status (30 minute expiration time by default) to try and reduce API calls (especially effective when re-visiting the same post).

Console Usage:

The SidebarAnswerStatus object provides a console interface to certain settings and functions:

  • SidebarAnswerStatus.setCacheExpireSeconds(integer) - Change cache expiration time. Default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
  • SidebarAnswerStatus.resetStats() - Reset statistics.
  • SidebarAnswerStatus.resetAll() - Reset everything (stats, cache, options including expiration time, etc.).
  • SidebarAnswerStatus.dumpInfo() - Print all stored data, for debugging.

Issues:

  • API key not implemented, so uses your per-IP API quota of 300.
