I think there are some steps missing from these instructions (like where to unpack the zip file to and where the /dist/chrome folder is).

I think you can unpack the zip file in to the /chrome/dist folder. I'm honestly not sure where that is though, I apologize.

/u/d3rr can explain this more, he wrote the instructions and ported RES for saidit.

Here's some better instructions. It's kind of broken right now, scores aren't displaying. What feature from RES do you want to use the most?

/u/magnora7 will you update this page? I made better install instructions, but the scores aren't showing with our voting model changes. It's probably a good few hours to figure out how to fix it.

New known issues: scores don't display

### Chrome

* Download for Chrome (or Opera) here: https://saidit.net/media/downloads/chrome.zip
* Open the zip file and copy the contents to a new folder, named something like SaidIt
* Go to the Chrome Menu -> More tools -> Extensions, and tick the "Developer Mode" checkbox
* Click "Load unpacked"
* Navigate to the folder you created earlier and click Open
* You should now see "Reddit Enchancement Suite for SaidIt" installed


### Firefox

* Download for Firefox here: https://saidit.net/media/downloads/firefox.zip
* Open the zip file and copy the contents to a new folder, named something like SaidIt
* Go to Firefox menu -> Add-ons
* In the gear/settings dropdown menu on the right, choose "Debug Add-ons" (or navigate to `about:debugging`)
* Check the "Enable add-on debugging" checkbox on the Add-ons tab
* Click "Load Temporary Add-on" 
* Navigate to the folder you created earlier and click Open
* You should now see "Reddit Enchancement Suite for SaidIt" installed

### Microsoft Edge

* Download for Edge here: https://saidit.net/media/downloads/edge.zip
* Naviate to `about:flags` and tick the "Enable extension developer features" checkbox.
* Click "Load extension" on the extensions menu
* Navigate to the new folder you created earlier and click Open
* You should now see "Reddit Enchancement Suite for SaidIt" installed

Sure I'll update the instructions, thanks.

While I'm here in the past, hope all is going well for you and your family. Hope your mom is better after the surgery.

d3rr is doing an excellent job of holding things together while you're away, btw.

I don't downvote often, but when I do it's because I've clicked 'fun', and RES still thinks that's the downvote.

Is that something that could be changed in a few minutes, or is it a whole recoding job?

I'd have to see exactly what you are talking about changing. It's probably quick. I need to revisit this RES thing, Jesus is interested in using it too.

If it's easy, it might be as simple as changing the - to a + for the fun voting choice, which was the downvote on reddit.

What it does now is increment your displayed vote score total on that account by one when insightful is clicked, and decrement by one when fun is clicked. Clicking both results in no change in the displayed score, as they cancel out.

Now that I'm typing this, an actually worse problem is that the "dropdown window or bar" from the comment directly above this edit window overlaps onto this window.

Out to the left of the header for your comment, just to the left of the insightful bulb, is the [-].

The 'activation bar' for that hide/show button extends down as far as the 'save' box below, and overlaps on this edit window by a full character, and right up against the first displayed character on the left margin. The effect is when you try to place your cursor at the beginning of an existing line, that entire bar highlights and hides both the text box and the above comment if you click.

So to place your cursor at the beginning of an existing line, you have to put it after the first character and use the arrow key to jump to the left. If the first character is wide, clicking on the left side of it can work, but that's impossible with a character like an "l".

Looks like this. Maybe this text edit box can be moved slightly to the right?

I think the zip can be unzipped anywhere... and the dist folder is inside it? We'll try to improve these docs.
