Hello, sysrage,

As the developer of the app, I am obviously biased, but I thought I'd chime in on the "there is no need…" part: I wrote my own Find In Page for a reason – I looked for a solution to my own problem, but could not find an adequate one – neither free nor paid. I outlined the reasons why in this post: http://findinpage.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-makes

Aside from the UI part, it boils down to search correctness and reliability. If you want to see what I mean, just try searching for the word "div" using any of the free bookmarklets. Once you see the result, there's a whole lot of fun search terms you will be able to come up with on your own 🙂

I think I've got it now, and honestly it doesn't matter. The hopes of getting it looked at or fixed are zero. Seriously, I have bigger issues that this one (no offense) sitting with Intense Debate for months with no resolution and not the slightest indication of giving a shit on their part.

Ya, can't describe it very well cause it strips off all the HTML in my comments. If you still don't understand let me know and I'll email you. 🙂

It doesn't break -everything-, but it messes up any links. For example:

Original comment has http:blah.com somewhere in it. When you hit Submit, it automatically changes it to a click-able URL.

If you then edit that comment, the edit box has <a href="http://blah.com">http://blah.com</a>.

If you submit the edited comment without first taking out the HTML, the links will no longer work. They'll be turned into something like <a href="http://blah.com">http://blah.com</a></a&g

I haven't come across that issue yet, can you offers some details on how it breaks everything? Don't give it too much effort though – hate to say that, but the support for Intense Debate (the comments system used here) is epically, monumentally, frighteningly useless. It is complete shite, to a ridiculous level. Just as one of many painful examples, in the past I have had to resort to commenting on blog posts at the owners' blog sites in order to get any response at all to support requests. Using any of their recommended channels generally results in zero response. And even using that crazy channel, led to response but nearly always with zero solutions.

Yep – that's it 🙂 it's also linked above, but prob more evident here in comments.

That's even better than my links! Thanks! For those of you too lazy to Google, here's what Thomas is talking about (I think):

wow, thanks for the heads-up Sysrage. can't believe there's a bookmarklet to install bookmarklets 😛

I haven't used your bookmarklets yet, but I did try the Safari Plus one out as well, and that's free.

This comment system breaks everything if you edit a comment that has a URL in it!

You can easily create your own bookmarklet to have the same functionality. Visit this page for many useful bookmarklets:

If you don't use a Mac with Safari, you can still use them. Copy/paste the javascript links into an e-mail or something and send it to your phone. Then go into the email, copy the javascript code, open Safari, and create a new bookmark (to any page). Tap the bookmark icon, tap Edit, tap the new bookmark you created, change the name, then tap on the URL you had bookmarked, delete it, and paste in the javascript.
