Skills detected during fights are picked out via FightRequest's HTML tree parsing. I believe I removed the old skill detection when I added it to an entirely different place, since I figured KoL had a new paradigm for showing such skills. Apparently I was wrong: they ADDED a new method, rather than changing the existing one.
Seems like we could just add the old detection back in and let it be used as appropriate. I can do that, although I won't be able to test it for a while; I figure I might as well finish getting my Dinsey skills while I have well-trained mayflies. But I'll ascend into Standard DB after that.
