Thanks for the info. I have even submitted some of those myself.

I have been running across such closures that have expired. I thought, at first, that they would 'automatically' be removed.

I posted follow up queries on the UR. No response.
I PM'd the submitter and was advised that there was no automatic closure, I should go ahead and close them. So I added the note 'closing expired closure flag' and marked them solved, but that does not effect the candystripe road segments. I thought it was a restriction that wasn't showing and blaimed URO+ but see I was wrong.

How should these candy stripes be removed?

I also see the UR locations improved but the Place popups still obscure the place icon mostly.
I do notice that it is a bit easier to 'click on it' "around the edge" of the popup, and get the place marker to move, but ....

URO+ seems to be ignoring the HIDE URs Last comment less than 7 days directive I have set.
I have no other boxes checked in that section.
I have hide 'closed' and URs less than 18 days checked.
and don't apply...tagged URs checked.

Here is a UR it is showing me
https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... st=4063586
last comment January 21, that is less than 7 days ago.

Thanks for a very useful script!

EDIT: interestingly, AFTER I posted this comment, it started hiding that UR.
It may have something to do with 'Backfill UR data' option. Perhaps URO+ is busy and just has not gotten around to doing all of its magic stuff. Maybe it needs to display a message saying it is busy so that we know we need to wait before we start clicking on balloons. :)

Further edit: I am not sure what is going on, even after an extended delay while I did other things, the 'left ear', with the response count is missing and I think it is still showing me many balloons that should be hidden.

I am not really sure what is going on. Many things seem slow. Will advise when I can narrow down further. Thanks for a very useful tool. :)

A couple of times today, I was thinking: it sure would be nice if there was a hot key that would toggle URO+ off/on (preferably the hot key could be set by the user).

The idea being to allow me to access a UR that was now being hidden by my last action. :)

Have you tried setting the options the way you want, and then doing a 'backup'?
(bottom of the misc tab page).

You can then do a copy/paste of the backup to a text file, for use later, if things get messed up.

Since the update, more and more often I am seeing 'stuck place data'.
The SAME place data pops up or hangs on the screen. It moves to different places as the mouse is moved.
I can NOT see the usual UR content preview pop up by mouseovering a UR.
I can click on the UR and open it and service it.

Love URO+.
Wish it gave the same kind of data on mouseover of restricted turn arrows and closures that it gives on restricted segments.

URO+ is broken.
As it starts to load, it blanks the left column area and the area stays blank.
If I disable it, and f5, the column is visible.

The problem happens if BOTH URO+ and Color Highlights are active.

The text column disappears under other circumstances, even if Color Highlights is disabled.
For example, when I am using URComments to handle a URO, as soon as I enter a comment and send it, the text column to the left clears and doesn't want to display again, as long as that comment is open, even if I F5, as long as the comment is in the URL, the column is blank.

I wish Waze would stop breaking our tools!

Enhancement suggestion: a key that 'instantly hides' the pop-up box. (perhaps shift?)

Reason: when trying to click on a point place or end node that is within an area place, the pop-up often 'gets in the way'. This is especially problematic when attempting to drag an end node as the node gets 'dropped' as soon as it encounters the pop-up box.

A key that would suppress the pop-up would make these tasks much easier. Currently I sometimes must 'disable' display of places in order to work on something embedded within a place.

Thanks for a wonderful tool!!!!
