Hey all, toolbox stopped showing up at the bottom of my browser window. I am using latest firefox and on reddit.com. If I use old reddit it shows up, but it does not work on default reddit. Any ideas?

I think this pertains to 6.1.14 (?)

Have been using in Vivaldi with no issue for years. Yesterday the xtn stopped functioning.

Tried disabling and enabling. No luck. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but also no result. Also restarted the browser.

Xtn appears broken in this browser. Can anyone confirm?

Is there any way to get Toolbox for Microsoft Edge?

I don't see it listed on the sidebar. So am I assume it's not available for Edge users?

I can't leave a removal notice when I remove post. I just get the error, "error, failed to post reply as ModTeam account". I've had this problem before, usually in one or another sub, and it resolves on its own. However, for more than 24 hours, this is affecting me in ALL the subs I moderate, some of which really need to have removal notices with information on why the post was removed (a couple of times, I've had to resort to messaging them directly).

Here's what I'm working with:

Opera One(version: 114.0.5282.115), Toolbox Version 6.1.14: "Delaying Donkey", Windows 11 (fully updated).

Here's what I've tried:

* Using a different browser. I tried with both Chrome and with Microsoft Edge.

* Clearing cache/cookies/settings/etc.

* Logging out and in again

* Being patient

* New Reddit and also old Reddit

So far, nothing has helped, and it's getting to be kind of debilitating.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm honestly considering making a new user account and inviting that account to be a moderator and using that instead. I can't keep messaging people when I remove their post.

EDIT: Okay, so I created a new Reddit account and got that account added to one of the subs as a test mod. SAME THING! Different browser, too.

I'm really at a loss here. I thought it was something with my account, but it's clearly deeper than that.

Would it help to delete Toolbox and reinstall? (Same version on every browser I tested in.) I did try deleting all the Toolbox data I could find to delete.

Thoughts?

Will Mod Toolbox be available as a r/Devvit app?

The advantage of a Devvit app for Mod Toolbox would be that actions can be taken using New Reddit and mobile apps, making moderation on the go much easier.

It got extremely annoying to always have to switch to new Reddit just to be able to add removal reasons to deleted posts/comments, and Toolbox is an absolute game-changer for me. However, I am facing a different issue now.

Problem: Sometimes, I want to slightly modify or add some details to an existing removal reason depending upon the offending submission or its context

But it seems like there is no option for me to change the green text that shows up when you select a removal reason.

The only way I can see is to go to the removal reason option and edit the reason entirely which is both time-consuming and undesirable since I wouldn't want these slight modifications to be persistent.

Is there a method or a setting that I may have overlooked? I saw the option of adding a text box/area which works well for including additional information, but I am also looking for something to change the existing text for that given rule.

Please let me know if there is any way for me to do this.

Thanks!

Hi! I've had a new app published on the Dev Platform: Toolbox Notes Transfer.

This app is designed for subreddits that use Mod Toolbox to store usernotes, but want to migrate to Reddit's native mod notes. It can support a one-off transfer of notes, as well as synchronisation of notes in both direction for newly added notes.

I recommend starting a bulk transfer of Toolbox notes first if you want to do one at all (this ensures if nothing else that Toolbox note types are appropriately mapped to native note types), and then turning on synchronisation options if you want to keep using both systems.

Once enabled, the synchronisation process should work nearly instantly, with newly added Toolbox notes being replicated to Reddit mod notes and vice versa (you can independently control the direction of transfer, so if you want to only synchronise in one direction then that's an option).

As with all of my public Dev Platform apps, I've made the code open source - you can find it here. You do not need technical knowledge to run this, it runs entirely on Reddit's systems and so you don't need to generate API keys or install Python.

Any feedback is welcome, just send me a message or write in to /r/fsvapps modmail.

In all seriousness, is it editable?

Thanks.

Using v6.1.15, if the & symbol is included in the removal reason name or the applied flair, it's not properly decoded when removing a submission.

The applied flair will also have the encoded & and is sometimes doubled.

Screenshots: [1], [2]

Did not test any other symbols, or in any other fields besides the removal reason title and flair text.

Version 6.1.14 Delaying Donkey

Same issue on Edge (v.128.0.2739.54 64-bit) and Chrome (v.128.0.6613.114 64-bit).

Toolbox extension successfully downloaded and shows as red icon in my browser toolbar. But there is no bottom bar when I'm logged in as mod on the home page of the sub, no way to access Toolbox.

I was a mod maybe five years back in another sub and remember that there should be a blue bar across the bottom, right, with notifications, gear for settings, etc?

Am I just a dunce or what is the issue here?

Hello,

I'm the sole moderator using old reddit in a sub, and as such, I have to jump back and forth from new to old to 'moderate', then I bumped into toolbox which seems to be the best solution as I far prefer using old reddit for everything or almost at least.

Thus my question, the sub has already several settings like removal reasons, made in new reddit by the other mods, I was wondering if using toolbox on such sub would mess their view even if they do not use it.

I believe it shouldn't as it's probably extension restricted, but I would prefer being sure prior adding or doing some thing through toolbox and then discovering in new.reddit, for the non-toolbox mods there are duplicate things or messed up things.

Given how from what I understood Toolbox configs are then shared on the subs mods (for the toolbox mods I suppose), I would obviously talk to the others about that, but I wanted first to accertain whether it would affect the non users.

Hey all, so even though I don't actively mod anymore, I love Mod Toolbox because it has the indicator on the bottom right that shows when you have a new message.

Problem is, when Toolbox is enabled on old.reddit, the API absolutely craps itself after 100 requests and gives you a few minute cooldown before any text posts can be viewed or any comments made. Extraordinarily frustrating.

So I guess my question is: Is there anything in Toolbox settings I can change to not choke the API while preserving the Message notification? Please note, I will not move to new reddit under any circumstance, nor do I have any interest in enabling Desktop notifications.

If there's not a setting for that in Toolbox, does anyone know of something else that replicates the functionality of the bottom left glowing message icon?

Thank you!

Since it's now possible to migrate toolbox notes to the native reddit ones, we'd generally like to use only one system and for overall compatibility (such as being available from the app) that ends up being the native notes.
However, visibility for them, as well as making them, is nonexistent on the old reddit layout and I also prefer how toolbox notes display directly and are also easily visible in modmail threads.

Any chance for toolbox to have an option to rely on native notes instead?

Running the extension on chrome, clicking the gear icon in the bar at the bottom of the screen simply pops up a small message telling me "Last toolbox settings backup: 709 days ago"

Any clues?

There is currently no dropdown menu for any toolbox mod macros. I have checked in multiple subreddits and it doesn't appear in any of them. All other toolbox functions seem to be unaffected.

Currently on Windows 11 and using Firefox version 128.0.

Every 20 minutes or so, old.reddit will stop working and serve up 429 errors for 3-10 minutes. This behavior started a week ago and only happens with toolbox enabled (Firefox, ubuntu). Other subdomains (new, sh) don't seem to be affected when this happens. Rebooting, closing all reddit tabs, clearing toolbox cache haven't helped. Has anyone else had this issue?

Basically just did some mass removal - however the moderation queue still shows everything and it says it's "Approved" instead of removed???

When I check the moderation log no actions have been done on these posts that I've mass removed (and now show as approved with a checkbox)

I checked FAQ and did a search in this subreddit but didn't find anything related.

Thanks!

EDIT I think there's some rate limit when you do mass actions / shows improperly?

Firefox for Android recently added widespread support for extensions (see here), and I was wondering if Toolbox was planning to add support for that.

I apologize if this has been answered already. I tried searching to see if it had been, but I didn't find anything.

I was pointed to this extension because someone suggested it might help me delete the contents of my chat inbox (I was the victim of a hack and someone posted content on NSFW subreddits and I've been effectively DDOSed by responses to those posts.)

Bottom right corner where the toolbox config is, there's silly info that blocks me from opening it. Like, "api might break blah blah blah" "Toolbox 1.8.3 is now out! :)" blah blah blah. How do I disable this so I can actually access my toolbox config?

I'm not seeing the toolbox on FF beta 127. Known issue?

Yesterday I had partial functionality, today it's completely MIA. What's up?

Edit: Appears to be working in Edge but not Chrome. So I will be Edge'ing it today.

Edit 2: I removed the Privacy Badger extension and now it works.

Toolbox stopped working for me, nothing happened when I clicked the gear icon.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, no good. Now it's not even showing the settings gear icon or bottom bar at all.

The extension shows as greyed out in my extensions manager, which usually means chrome disabled it for not being in the store, but it's the version from the web store...

Installed version is the latest: 6.1.13: "Delaying Donkey"

For a while now, the full list of comment macros do not appear in my drop down menu of macro options when I'm attempting to select a macro response for either an initial comment in thread or when I'm replying to another comment. I've scoured all of my toolbox options and settings and everything seems to be in order, but only a limited number appear on the menu. Additionally, I am only noticing this issue with one of the two primary subreddits I moderate, which is /r/AskHistorians. Other mods seem to have all of the macros available, so I don't believe it is a subreddit configuration issue with general toolbox settings.

Any ideas on how to fix this or if I missed something?

you know why

Is there a way to hid the "toolbar functions" from the new mod mail sidebar? Or at least, just show one set instead of two? Sample how it for me: https://i.imgur.com/e4Hvhv9.jpg

Hey mods,

I've been working on a lot of big internal changes for the eventual v7 release of Toolbox, and I'm now starting to publish beta builds for testing. We had a beta-testing system a while ago, but I've recently redone a bunch of our build infrastructure to support publishing releases to separate stable and beta channels to let me get big new features and changes tested faster.

Please note that these beta builds are expected to be broken some of the time! Do not go and tell your entire team to install the beta version immediately! I'm working on a lot of big internal changes which impact a very large surface area, and I don't have the capacity to test everything myself since I'm not really an active moderator anymore, so using the beta release is very much you volunteering to help do my validation and debugging work for me.

Also, since I'm hopefully going to be changing stuff fast, I'm asking that beta users be on Discord and willing to keep up with the beta support channel in the Toolbox Discord server. This might change in the future, I'm really not a huge fan of locking information behind Discord servers, but for now this is going to be the easiest way to work with you all to get issues dealt with quickly. If you're interested in helping out, hop in our server and you can find all the relevant info in the beta support channel.

Thanks as always for your support of Toolbox!

How do I get it back?
