#transcript tab panel elementpostMessage#disqus-threadData JSONGM_setValue/GM_getValue)postMessage to Disqus iframeQ: The Comments button says "Loading..." but nothing happens.
A: Scroll down until you see the Disqus comment section load, then try again. The iframe must be present.
Q: Can I drag text into Word/Google Docs?
A: Yes! Hold the button for ~300ms, then drag directly into any application that accepts text drops.
Q: Why does the panel position change on window resize?
A: The position is stored as a ratio of the viewport, so it stays in the same relative location regardless of window size.
Q: Comments aren't showing the full thread.
A: The script captures whatever Disqus has loaded. Very long threads with "Load more" buttons may require scrolling through comments first.
Q: Can I customize the Markdown format?
A: The format is optimized for readability in standard Markdown renderers. Modify generateFormattedOutput() in the script for custom formatting.
Q: Where is my panel position saved?
A: Position and minimize state are stored via userscript storage (GM_setValue), which persists across browser sessions and is isolated from website data.
