dAmnGotMail - Automatic Inbox Checker

Description

NOTICE (2):


Notice 1: If your dAmnGotMail script has stopped working and you're using Firefox, this is due to a bug in version 32+ which breaks a vital part of the script's code. This will not harm your use of deviantART in any way, it just won't update your inbox for the time being.
Notice 2:  After the recent update to deviantART, I am currently working on a new version to make it more aesthetically and structurally pleasing (such as replacing older style classes and object layouts for the newer ones), but I cannot continue until Firefox fixes the bug mentioned in the above notice.

Thank you for the Daily Deviation, everyone! :D



6/06/2014 - Update:

:bulletblack: Due to recent changes with Google Chrome, user scripts and apps which aren't in the Google Web Store will no longer work. To solve this, please use Tampermonkey as instructed below.

6/08/2013 - Current Version: 1.7

:bulletblack: Fixed a bug receiving notifications due to the deviantART store news being removed from the feed. Changes have been made to fix this in version 1.7. My apologies for the delay of this fix. It was presumed to be the previous Google Chrome glitch due to the Chromium project; however, when the bug was fixed, the script then failed again due to the deviantART store closing for good.



Description:

This is dAmnGotMail, an automatic inbox refresh script..
The purpose of this script is to automatically notify you of new messages in your inbox without having to reload the page; this is especially helpful when on the chat network.

The inspiration to make this script came from Dediggefedde. He gave some extremely helpful advice; the script is also modeled on two of the functions used in his script Devsidebar which is an amazing piece of work. I have since released multiple changes to the original script and have further refined it, fixing any bugs and improving the design both in its code as well as aesthetically.

This script for Firefox (Greasemonkey) or Google Chrome, will automatically update your deviantART inbox located on your menu bar.

It does not interfere with the user menus, however, and is very simple.



How to install...


for Firefox:
:bulletred: First make sure you have Firefox with the Greasemonkey plugin.

:bulletyellow: If you do not have Greasemonkey, click here to get it now.

:bulletgreen: Once you have Greasemonkey, download the script:
    ► Click here to go to the script home page!

:bulletblue: Then just install the script, restart Firefox, and enjoy!


for Chrome:
:bulletred: First make sure you have Google Chrome with the Tampermonkey plugin (required since May 2014).

:bulletyellow: If you do not have Tampermonkey, click here to get it now.

:bulletgreen: Once you have Tampermonkey, download the script:
    ► Click here to go to the script home page!

:bulletblue: Then just install the script in Tampermonkey, restart Google Chrome, and enjoy!


for Opera:
:bulletred: First make sure you have Opera with the Violentmonkey plugin.

:bulletyellow: If you do not have Violentmonkey, click here to get it now.

:bulletgreen: Once you have Violentmonkey, download the script:
    ► Click here to go to the script home page!

:bulletblue: Then just install the script in Violentmonkey, restart Opera, and enjoy!



Important Notice:

Make sure you have the Splinter Menu turned off before using this script. It was not designed for the Splinter Menu and will most likely cause undesired effects.

Change Log:

Verison 1.7: Fixed bug after the closing of the deviantART store.
Version 1.6: Fixed login issues, Improved design, fixed Activity Stack and fixed Journal Stack.
Version 1.5: Fixed the 1 (1 Note) glitch and now it will only display 1 Note, 2 Notes, etc whenever you have notes and no other messages.
Version 1.4: Fixed a minor visual formatting error. Script will no longer miss a "bar" between certain items and the notes item.
Version 1.3: Separated Correspondence messages from the Feedback messages; this makes the script seem closer to the original inbox's look.
Version 1.2: Cleaned up the script a bit. Slightly increased stability.
Version 1.1: Fixed for Google Chrome. Runs better on both browsers.

Known Bugs:

Does not work with Group Messages
Does not work with the splinter menu
Does not work with Mentions
