How to: Enable/Disable Blood Potion Notifications :bloodpotion: 🔪

[villain]

By default, notifications on blood potions received are now opt-in, rather than opt-out. If you want to receive blood potion notifications (or have them enabled and want to disable them again), then:

Click on your avatar in the site header, then click the person icon, and select “Preferences”.

Click on “Notifications”. You’ll see the option to change when you’re notified of blood potions received.

You can now toggle whether or not you see the Blood Potion button and blood potion counts on posts via an option in your preferences.

Go to Preferences > Profile and scroll down until you see “Disable Blood Potions”.

Click to enable it, then save, and refresh (or change your theme).

Now instead of squeezing the blood from a blood slime in order to give a blood potion and perpetuating the massive slaughter of innocent monsters, you’ll just respond with a relevant quote from House Party!

Peanut, fix me some of that Dick Gregory.

I wanted to still be able to give BPs but not see the number of BPs a given post has, so I cooked up (read: mostly stole) a tampermonkey script to do just that:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         SB No Numbers
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      2024-10-22
// @description  removes BP numbers but leaves teh button
// @author       Cania
// @match        https://selectbutton.net/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=selectbutton.net
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==


function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}
addGlobalStyle('.widget-button.btn-flat.button-count.like-count.highlight-action.regular-likes.btn-text {display: none;}');
addGlobalStyle('.widget-button.btn-flat.button-count.like-count.highlight-action.my-likes.btn-icon-text {display: none;}');

now i can continue pouring blood but get the No Numbers experience i wanted

EDIT: fixed it so that it also doesn’t show the BP button at all on your own posts, because apparently that gets grouped with the number so you gotta disable both

Oh dang yeah I’d been using uBlock to hide just the numbers on the blood potion icons, but I can’t find a way to do that with uBlock in this new version of the forum software–it can’t hide all numbers with a single filter, you’d have to make a separate filter for each post = p. Or I dunno maybe there’s some fancy way to do that but not one my primitive uBlock ability understands.

Hm thanks to your post though I realized I could at least hide the count on my own posts, since those handle it universally for some reason (AND combine button and counter together, whereas on other peoples’ posts the button and counter are separate entities). ; D

(I tried installing tampermonkey and using your script but it didn’t seem to hide the blood potion counter on any posts, as far as I could see. But I haven’t used tampermonkey before so I might have been doing it wrong.)

OH! Wait no looking at your tampermonkey script I managed to figure out how to get it to work in uBlock! = D

So for uBlock I have

! Sep 21, 2025 https://selectbutton.net
selectbutton.net##.btn-flat.my-likes.highlight-action.button-count.like-count.post-action-menu__like-count.no-text.btn
selectbutton.net##.btn-flat.regular-likes.highlight-action.button-count.like-count.post-action-menu__like-count.no-text.btn

The first filter hides the blood potion counter and button on my own posts, and the second filter hides the counter on everyone else’s posts, but leaves the button. : D

The Blood Potions toggle component has been fixed.
