I gotcha covered

Added join/leave messages so it's easier to see who is joining and leaving.

These only appear in chat, they are not saved to history.

When you press anti + TAB, "<@antiaverage>" is written. It would be better if "<@antiaverage> " was written. What's the difference? that little space in the end you don't have to type before writing

I considered this, but decided against it. I'll revisit this at some point.

You can now opt+click or alt+click an image/deck/video/card/painting to hide it. Click on Rooms and then the room you were in to show it again.

AveragePotato has returned to chat and will announce if a new forum post has appeared in the last 3 minutes. If not, he won't say anything.

Let me know if 3 minutes feels right. I can throttle this to just about anything.

Added a few tools at the top of chat now. This let's you hide media (images, paintings, videos, cards, decks), left/joined messages, and AveragePotato messages on and off. Unfortunately with how Blab works, new stuff will still show, but I can fix this at some point.

Fixed a bug where links with a single quote (') would make AveragePotato links unclickable

A tilde (~) breaks posted urls.

Dude, you rock!

Added a notification system using the Web Notifications API:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_Web_Notifications#Browser_compatibility

This will only work for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari users, maybe the latest version of Opera, and most likely not at all for Internet Explorer (stop using that).

Make sure you refresh Blab to get the latest JavaScript file. Then, click the "Enable Notifications" link at the top of the page. You'll be prompted to allow notifications. Once allowed, you'll be all set.

You will only receive notifications if Blab is not your currently active tab and you are not away. The notifications are triggered by a highlight, which is currently your Blab username. This means it works for normal messages, /me messages, and inline private messages (not private message windows).

Spoiler for Hidden:

If you accidentally clicked disallow or you want to undo a previous disallow:
Chrome (copy+paste into URL bar) -> chrome://settings/contentExceptions#notifications
