That "in addition" thing was only meant as an option to have both, obviously redundant information in retrospect but I tend to write faster than I think sometime. Too bad about the tooltip though, it would be nice to have the descriptions turn up when you hoover the mouse over the giveaway instead of opening another window, like how it's implemented in the Comment Formatting Helper.
It's a very nice script though, I especially like the game tags. Thank you for sharing :)

awww =(
i was kinda hoping for this one too tbh. i'm notta fan of joining from mainpage or the description popout, but liked the idea of just hovering some meaningless button or just hovering the title and seeing the descriptions first ~100 characters popout in text form. (similarly to hovering the time by default, or hovering join date to figure out cakeday, or image caption text)
edit: just typos this time. ^^

Warning: If you update to this version through a link instead of through Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey, it's likely that it will try to install another script instead of updating it, because of the @namespace change. So before updating, change the @namespace to ESGST and it should update normally.

Wow! You just made me disable ALMOST all SG scripts I had! Congratulations, you did a REALLY good work!
I only didn't remove this script SG Games TAG (
And the only one thing I didn't like much is the advanced search. For me, it could be like a default filter (is there another way to do this and I didnt find? If so, forget this), saving the last preferences (like level) and adding another info: how many points it costs to enter (so, filter by minimum and maximum P). Also, not filling the app name would search for all the games, as now it would be an advanced filter.
Thanks again for the awesome features! I'm amazed that now I can just hit "Enter" and automagically see the description of the giveaway (if there is any) and post on it right away! AMAZING!

can you split the Giveaway Description / Comment Box Popup Button in 2 parts?
Comment has been collapsed.
i actually agree, i'd turn it on if it were more like just a "preview". if i want to comment i'll open up the discussion giveaway for real so i can read others comments prior to making my own, but it's usually a really massive box so that i can comment, when it's only a few words for the actual description.. so a preview of the description by itself would look cleaner.
edit: discussion = giveaway
edit2: other than looks/visibility, the reason i'd want it is for group specific rules. (to see whether a giveaway is open to gifters via description)

unsure, it's heading was pretty bare so i'm not sure how.
installed:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Add Prev/Next Accesskeys
// @namespace tag:oliver.dyas@gmail.com,2005-2-28:userscript
// @description Adds accesskeys to "previous" and "next" type links (useful for reading multi-page forum threads, webcomic archives, google results, etc.). The keys are 'Alt-,' for back & 'Alt-.' for forward; 'Alt-<' & 'Alt->' do likewise but open the link in a new window/tab.
// @version 0.1.2
// ==/UserScript==
no @include or @match originally. ^^

That's not really what's causing that single unattached comment though, is it? That GIF seems to be attached in the giveaway description, not in the comment linked.

Bugs
Question? shouldn't filters show what you want to see instead hiding, for example if i wanted to only see games that supported linux i can't i can only hide them.

Would it be possible to have either a join giveaway button in the popup view description?
Or maybe have an option for a confirm button, when you have popup description after entering giveaway enabled. So, if you have the popup only if there is a description, it would have a join giveaways yes/no at the bottom.
(This is because I have entered giveaways auto hidden, so if I spot something in the description and I need to leave the giveaway it becomes a pain)
Comment has been collapsed.
the active discussions doesn't load the description to see the identifying [](ESGST-73-66-37-32-53) code. it might work if someone added that code to the title, but the title won't hide it like a description would.
edit: i'm by no means doubting it bugged out and still showed up somehow though, but to purposely allow for that i can't think of a reasonable way beyond a spreadsheet/database submit style. the bot or scans of comments isn't feasible.

Some more stuff from me ^^
There is an inconsistency when hiding entered GAs is on, it doesn't auto update (hide) newly entered GAs unless they have a description that pops up.
I'd prefer for this auto updating to not happen at all actually, could that become an option?
Reload button doesn't work, it just keeps spinning.
Also I'd suggest that description pop ups to be mandatory when using the direct entry button. Read rates have dropped below sad 5% by now, that decline shouldn't be further supported imo.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll work on the first two later, but I've already expressed my "controversial" feelings about making the description popup mandatory in this thread. My take on it is that reading descriptions is not a requirement to enter giveaways by SteamGifts' rules, and therefore should not be mandatory. Those that don't bother reading descriptions won't read them anyway (they will most likely just click out of the popup without even paying attention). I personally often enter public giveaways without reading descriptions because they're not that important, so I would be very annoyed if I was prompted the description every time I entered a public giveaway. I do always read the description of private/group/whitelist giveaways though. So it's better to leave it optional, as each person has a different feeling about it and I don't want to force anything on anyone.

SG's default doesn't force anyone to see it though. You can easily go inside a giveaway, hit the enter button and exit without even moving your eyes to the description area. It's something optional on SG, and should also be optional on the script.
People are the problem, script isn't the problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
SG default ensures that users see the GA description. They may not read it, but that is a different thing. With the script default they can bypass even seeing that there's a description. I fully agree with Tristar that this allows them to circumvent the SG default and makes an already bad-issue worse. I really hope you'd reconsider making this the default for the script.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's like saying comments should also be mandatory to see when entering a giveaway because they're there in the page for the user to see, in which case all giveaway pages should be loaded when entering a giveaway, right? Because the creator might have said something important in a comment, right?
Sorry, but I'm not changing my mind on this. Even if, for example, you state in a giveaway description that the key doesn't work in a certain country and the winner ends up being from that country, there is no punishment whatsoever to that winner for not reading the giveaway description and not entering. The giveaway is simply re-rolled. So the description is absolutely optional.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not encouraging people not to read giveaway descriptions, I'm just not forcing the descriptions on them. It's quite different. What I meant with the ads example is, if blocking the ads is bad for the site, this script should force users to see the ads, right? Sorry, but I disagree with that line of thinking. If it's not in the rules of the website, it's not in the rules of the script.
Comment has been collapsed.
The creator doesn't expect people to go through all comments because the site doesn't force them to if they want to enter a GA. Creators do expect users to see (though maybe not read) the description because the site does enforce it.
The description is optional (in the sense that reading it is optional), but it's an important part of the site. GA creators who write comments normally want people to read them and expect that they at least see the descriptions. The script breaks all this. It's the only part of the script that isn't improving the site, and is actually doing the opposite.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you're contradicting yourself. The site doesn't force them to read the description either. If we're talking about what the user can see, then the site surely enforces the viewing of comments, at least in the first page. Expectation is different than reality. Just because creator expects users to read their description, doesn't mean all users will do that.
They want people who want to read them to read them. Like I said, people who don't bother reading descriptions won't read them anyway. I fail to see how the script breaks this. You can even enable the option to make the description pop up upon entering. So users who want to read descriptions will surely have that option enabled. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Enhanced SteamGifts & SteamTrades (ESGST)
An extension / userscript that adds some cool features to SteamGifts and SteamTrades.
If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, please file an issue here.
Compatibility
Tested and confirmed as working:
Not tested but should be working:
Not supported:
Installation
There are two different ways to use ESGST: extension or userscript. You can choose which one you want to use, but the extension is a lot faster and has a better peformance than the userscript, so I recommend it, although there is no major difference between them, except for a few options that are only available in the extension because of limitations in the userscript.
Option 1 - Extension
It should be possible to install the extension in any Chromium-based browser from the Chrome store (such as Opera, Vivaldi, etc...), any Firefox-based browser from the Firefox store (such as Waterfox, etc...), and any browser that uses the Phoebus system from the Pale Moon store (such as Basilik, etc...).
You can also use the extension on Android through Firefox for Android, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.
Option 2 - Userscript
To install the userscript, you must install Violentmonkey, Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or some other userscript manager first. Then click here and you should be prompted to install it. I recommend Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey, because the userscript uses the GM_addValueChangeListener API to communicate changes in the storage between tabs, and that API is not available on Greasemonkey, so a polyfill is used for Greasemonkey, which is not very effective and can affect the performance.
You can also use the userscript on Android through Firefox with Violentmonkey or USI, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.
Beta Versions
The latest beta version for both the extension and the userscript is always available in the latest pre-release in the releases page.
