If I click on a UR, then click the little target button to center and zoom in, add a comment, and then click on another UR and expand the conversations panel or more information panel, I get a little animated rolling thing like it's thinking, and it never opens up and shows me the comments (see picture). This only happens in this exact scenario, and only happens with URO active. When I disable it, I can do 20 of them without ever encountering this, but with URO, it happens on the next UR after using the target button.

Also a request: When you release a new version, I get the little popup that tells me that the script has been updated, but there's no date. Since I use a few different computers for Waze, it would be good to know when the script was updated just by looking at the version history popup.

Actually, it seems to be occurring after every UR that I comment on, regardless of whether I use the target button or not. Additionally, it suppresses the driven/route tracks on the next UR you click on. Right now, I don't have any other scripts enabled. The only way to clear this is to permalink and then click on the UR again.

Thanks for this Twister-UK, another great addition to an already great script.

I had actually noticed the request for this functionality in the Addons, Extensions, and Scripts forum, and was seriously thinking about using this as the basis for my first WME script (I'm a software developer by day myself), but you beat me to the punch... :D
Guess I'll just need to find another challenge to tackle, perhaps the auto commenting / smart canned responses for UR conversations (unless of course you already have plans in this area too ;) )...

I am also getting lots of the follows errors in my Chrome JS Console with this new version using the production WME:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'userName' of undefined wme_uroverview.3.11.1.user.js:1893
uroGetUserNameAndRank wme_uroverview.3.11.1.user.js:1893
uroGetAMs wme_uroverview.3.11.1.user.js:2494
OpenLayers.Events.OpenLayers.Class.triggerEvent OL-7c8a3b7f.js:91
OpenLayers.Events.OpenLayers.Class.handleBrowserEvent OL-7c8a3b7f.js:91
(anonymous function)
I'm still trying to pin down the specific sequence of events that appear to cause this to happen (which then breaks the other functionality of the script - e.g. no more UR popups, etc), but it seems to happen after I have zoomed in and out (perhaps while some of the layers are still loading?).

EDIT: So after more investigation it appears this can happen either when zooming in/out or just moving the map around, and occurs when the userID of an AM of the current visible area is no longer present in the Waze.model.users.objects Object (which I guess only contains user Objects that are relevant to what is currently displayed in the WME window?).
So, again this is mostly conjecture, does that mean if an AM for the area currently visible is not associated with any of the visible segments, it's not possible to resolve the userID to username & rank?

Twister-UK - I'm sure you've already worked this all out for yourself, but I was intrigued about what was happening so did some debugging to satisfy my curiosity... :geek:

Thanks for such a fast turn around on those issues. :)

Minor Feature Request: A different Roadworks icon for [ROADWORKS] URs which are Closed

The new cone icon for Roadworks URs is great, really helps me separate what's going on in my area at a glance.
However, now that we can see Closed URs as well (which I like to see so I can check they are being closed correctly), I think it would be really useful to have a slightly different icon for Closed Roadworks URs. Perhaps a variation on the crushed cone icon from the mouseover of open Roadworks URs?

I posted this very request back on the 4th July ;)

These are new types of map request, and would benefit from all the URO features (zoom to area on open, etc) being applied to them as well, IMO.

Personally, I'd add a feature that searches for the string "TrafficCast" and immediately closes the MR as "irrelevant data" since they always make asinine claims such as "HWY-2 closed at HWY-2 for Unknown".

Out of the 12 TrafficCast MRs showing up in my area today, 2 had valid data. The rest were inappropriate, incomplete, or had invalid locations (such as "hwy 2 at hwy 2", implying a junction between a 1200+km long highway and itself, somewhere along its length, and not at the location of the MR icon).

Hi All,

i don't know if this can be done but i will throw it out there anyway,
seeing as we are adding road speed limits i was thinking if there is any way you could add a UR search for the letters of mph or kph and highlight them with a special bubble like you do with [NOTE].
this way as we ride around we can mark speed limit changes from the app and then have an easy way to spot them. the amount of times that a user will add the term mph to there txt on a UR is so seldom i don't think it would be a problem.
i advise that the search item be simple as just the letters mph or kph with out any special brackets because they could be added by using voice to txt on our mobile devices.
this way as we want to mark a speed change we could hit our report button, then add the txt of the speed limit followed by the mph, like
55 mph
Not having any script righting ability i have know idea how hard this would be to add, i just know with the amount of changing speed limit signs we have here in the NY area it would be a great help.

Thanks Again for your great script... John JD Brooklyn NY USA
