For anyone that missed the topic which gave rise to this effort, here's the details

 

If you've got an up to date Firefox and Greasemonkey installation, then right click here and choose "Install User Script"

 

When you refresh the topic listing, you'll find a neat little "x" icon next to the topic title. Click it to instantly make a topic go away!

 

The script will remember up to 100 topics you don't like (with the oldest ones being shuffled off its memory)

 

If you do want to show the ones you've ignored, up by the top menu where it says "My Controls - New Messages - View New Posts" etc you'll find a link "Show Ignored Topic" - click that and you'll see all the ones you're ignoring highlighted in a lovely shade of pink. If you see a topic you'd rather keep seeing, just click it's ignore button again and it the pink disappears!

 

Lovely eh! Tested in Firefox 1.07 + GM 0.5.3. and Firefox 1.5b2 + GM0.6.2.1 - ENjoy!

:)  B)  :D  BRILLIANT  :D  B)  :o

 

The only minor criticism is that the little X covers up the "Go to first Unread" button which is also very useful on long threads. 

 

Is it possible to do a tweak?

:):DB) CONGRATULATIONS :D:D:D

 

Concur! Pretty-please...

 

I also found that I have had to re-save my link to the forums. I found that if I used my usual saved link, it put me back to the pre-modified version.

 

After a couple of re-installs, the penny dropped...

The script looks for something in the page address (showforum=) which it would seem isn't always there. I'll check it out.

 

I can't repeat the issue with the icon obscuring the "go to unread post" icon - they appear side by side for me. What browser are you using?

OK, I think I've fixed it - if you find it doesn't work, let me know the url of the page you are looking at.

 

To re-install, make sure you get the latest version by left-clicking the link. You'll see the script, but then hit refresh - the version number at the top should say 0.11 - then go to Tools->Install User Script (or return to this thread and do the right-click thing)

Now if you could modify it to block out certain peoples replies! then people could just block all posts by Deego and not have to read any of my drivel :mad::D

 

Nice script Lordelph It will make the Forums seem a quieter for those who want it, that’s good as people now have a choice :D

Although I think it's great, i don't have firefox or greasemonkey, how do I get it, and what does it cost (Scottish and I am as tight as a mouses ****hole) :mad:

You can use Turnabout if you use IE; it's free and works with most GreaseMonkey scripts

 

Or download both Firefox and GreaseMonkey both are also free.

 

Whichever way you choose it's all less than 10MB download

Yes, Firefox is a separate browser to the AOL one, not being too familiar with AOL I don't how easy it is to use a different browser - might not be worth the effort!

 

This script probably won't work in Turnabout on Internet Explorer but if enough people are interested I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, I think I may leave it just now.

 

I'll just have to keep doing what others had difficulties with, and that is just ignore the threads I want to ignore ;)

AOL connections functions perfectly with all browsers, and you might be surprised at how much better using AOL outside of their proprietary browser. I would try browsing normally in IE and if you like that better than the AOL browser then move to Firefox

A brilliant addition, funny thing is it took my pc 6 attempts to install it, and that's having had no problems with all the other scripts. The PC must have had a cob on ;)

Now Dave can block out any thread that I start B)

And until I reread the topic this evening I had not noticed the "go to first unread" icon - double thanks. :mad:

That's the best shortcut link in these forums. You've been missing out for years John ;)

...even more congrats! What an excellent solution - now everybody can kill their own pet hate threads and banish them from their individualised view of the forums.

 

Mods, have you considered generating a pinned topic for GreaseMonkey extensions so that they are always available to members. At present, as loose threads, they will slide down the forums and be hidden from the late-comers.

Oi! Lordelph!

 

Where's this brill script hidden?

 

I am away from home using my laptop - I've just brought it up to date by installing Firefox and went looking for this script, the original link says it's missing.

 

I really want the little veto cross back....

 

Cheers....

First off, I love the script. I made a couple of adjustments to fix the latest security update to GM and added an option to tick the Save a copy to sent items when you send a pm.

 

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to remove any posts from someone in your ignore list.

 

I have been working on this for a few days now and am not making any headway.

 

Would it be possible to add something like that to your script? I see the usermatch is already there. I got it working to remove any posts started by an ignored user. But I would really be interested in never seeing any posts by an ignored user.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
