Hey, I'm wondering if anyone can make a browser extention or script that would give a notification whenever you have been sent a new pm, either saying the name of the person, or the name and message (if even possible). 

I'm looking for a Firefox extention, and a notification that pops up only once, instead of repeatedly like doctorn does (sorry mauk)

That was a bug that happened during the period it was unmaintained and has been fixed for weeks. It obviously wasn't intentional and it never worked like that while maintained.

Either way, if you're not talking about chat messages, there are more extensions that do the same.

I'm not sure it's possible as the chat does not use torns api, therefore the script would need to access torn to read making it illegal

I thought it had been deemed ok to connect to the wss feed externally which would make this possible. Anyone know for sure if this is the case?
Zed [390936]

The use of scripts, extensions, applications or any other kind of software is allowed only if it uses data from our API or a page you (or your users) have loaded manually and are currently viewing. They cannot make additional non-API requests to Torn, scrape pages that you're not currently viewing, or attempt to bypass the captcha. If the software you're using makes non-API requests that are not manually triggered by you, it is not allowed and can be tracked.


If you are not viewing the page it is illegal. and if you are not viewing the page it is an irrelevant request. Maybe a suggestion to add a ping would be the best option.

Welp, IBF cleared it up to tos and others in the clinic that it is indeed legal to talk to the chat servers directly via websockets, so this is totally possible without tabs open or anything.

" scrape pages that you're not currently viewing" 

 

Google, Define viewing.

 

Google: the action of inspecting or looking at something.

From now on, usage of Torn.com must only be done while wearing eye-tracking devices.

Not doing so will ban your account. Thanks.
