Been using from the beginning! Never a snag. Once you know where quotes.js is, it is extremely flexible. Here is a drop-in quotes.js file (1,000 quotes) as a sample to use if you are just getting started, and want content: https://sourceforge.net/p/signatures-james-mortensen/code/ci/main/tree/ Sorry, but too big for here (~141kb).

Have used this for years, love it! Great work James. I recommend not using double quotes in your entries to be safe, just write the quote then a dash and the name of the source. Great you can copy out the JSON and move it to another pc/browser.

Was JUST what I was looking for so I can publish the unhinged signatures I'm seeing on tiktok (@stephyb__) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MejBt2ttxwob_J2qnErBQ5DbXNZ6pZ_5dsoqChHcxgQ/edit

I've been trying to find a way to insert a random tagline in Gmail forever. I used to use Outlook and I wrote my own VBA script to do it but since I migrated to Gmail my emails have been boring with it. I can't believe I never found this until now! Excellent job on this, much appreciated! EDIT 31-JUL-2024 --- Sometime in the last week or so, it looks some update to Chrome has broken this. I no longer get a quote in my signature. I don't know exactly when it broke. I tried removing and re-installing the extension to no avail. 😭😭 EDIT #2 7-AUG-2024 --- I've logged an issue on your github for this, please let me know how I can help troubleshoot and find the root cause. thanks!

Hello I would have like to use your extension but no quotes are injected in my emails I can, however, access the quotes panel. When I go to to inspect the popup I see those 2 errors: failed to load resource: net::ERR-FILE-NOT-FOUND glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff:1 failed to load resource: net::ERR-FILE-NOT-FOUND glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf:1

Took a bit of fiddling, but got it working in the end! Be sure to restart Chrome and log out of your email account, it won't work until then.

Works just as it says, no issues. Yes, it took a little while to add my quotes and verses, etc. but it was worth it. I may be a little slow on this but I use the Pop out on replies and get no quote. Could someone provide the steps they use to get the replies to work? Thanks for the extension and thanks for the tip.

EDIT 2023-05-22 Still works great! And James (the developer) is very responsive. I reported a couple bugs in the latest version a few days ago and he's already posted an update that fixes them! I continue to recommend this add-on highly! --- original review from 2017 --- Works as advertised. It was straightforward converting my Quotes.txt file into JSON (albeit I was challenged by some embedded tab characters, but I found & removed those) and then I pasted it in & the extension does the job. Recommended. It will be nice when it supports replies, but it already has value for me with its existing functionality. And here's an easy workaround for replies that I've learned. Just pop out the reply. When you do that, a quote is appended. Thanks!

I don't get it.. i can't access the option to change quotes. This is just retarded, life is not only about stupid coding and programming ....

It took ages to replace all the quotes with my own, but now it's just perfect.
Neil Kalman11.5 years ago
This would be perfect if there was an option to add a quote on reply as well.

This is a really cool app. I like that it can be customized, I've changed all the quotes with Bible verses, so people are getting a wide variety of verses. BUT only reason it is getting 4 stars and not 5, is that it doesn't work when you are replying to a message. The standard gmail signature appears on replies but not the random quote. Could this be fixed? Thanks
