About

The extension, called AskUbuntu Add-on, allows to easily track user info and questions from askubuntu.com.

This extension displays user reputation and badges in the toolbar, provides an easy access menu to unanswered questions , user questions, favorites and user tags. It has an update checker that alerts when there is new activity in the user account or unanswered questions. The configuration options allow to disable alerts, limit the number of items displayed in the menu, hide user info and control the frequency of updates. There is also an option to store data temporarily if the browser is on private mode.

Note: some Gnome users might experience diminished functionality if their Firefox does not show icons in menus, since the icons are indicators of new activity. To solve this problem visit: https://askubuntu.com/questions/8586/where-is-the-gnome-option-to-display-icons-in-menus

    Chrome version released! Also released a new version for Opera with a few improvements. Commented Nov 4, 2010 at 21:14
  • Needs some updating. Do you still work on it? Commented Jul 28, 2011 at 5:30
  • I haven't worked on the Chrome and Opera versions, but I recently released a new version for Firefox. However, I do not see a reason to put too much effort on this, since it has less than 200 users. I will keep updating compatibility and fixing bugs when I have available time.
