If you're tinkering with this script, I would very much appreciate being able to filter by age of last comment.

Many thanks. Just one gripe / bug report:

I think "hide if last comment made less than nn days ago" should only hide UR's which do actually have a comment. At present it's hiding UR's with no comment too (presumably only if they're less than nn days old, although I haven't checked this).

A bug, although I shan't be surprised if it turns out to be in Waze code rather than your script...
This UR has one comment, a fact which WME recognises. However LMUR continues to show it has having no comments.

Hi Twister,

Could you please add filter options for CLOSURE etc to LMUR, thereby bringing it back into line URO+?

Thanks,
Ian

Enhancement request: could LMUR have an option to show only UR's for which the reporter has given a description (i.e. hide UR's with no description, just like URO+ does)?

Edit: and a second request, could it please have the ability to show UR's which I am not following, again like URO+?

Quite often, I get the message "Unable to access UR/problem data on server". The only option offered is to press "OK", whereupon it tries again and probably hits the same problem. I usually end up closing the tab.

I'm not sure whether this is under your control, but would it be possible to allow users to shrink the map area or otherwise alter their LMUR options before it tries again. Perhaps the "enabled" box in the highest window could be automatically unchecked when this message appears?

There may be a partial quick fix, assuming that PUR's are contributing to the problem. I'm getting this problem with PUR filtering disabled; does LMUR load PUR data regardless of whether it's required?

No worries, I'm sure you've got more important things to do.

A request: could a filter by age be added for Place Updates please?

I think it ought to be possible since the age of each place update requests appears when the cursor hovers over it. My reason for asking is that I prefer to concentrate on roads and let others deal with places, and this seems to work most of the time. But if there's a place update in my AM area which is more than a week or so old, I'll do it myself - if I can spot it.

Ideally I'd like the same for Map Problems, but I'm not sure the data is there to make that possible?
