Greasemonkey Script to make reading these forums easier

I just published a Greasemonkey script that makes it a lot easier to read message threads on this and other LDD forums:

http://www.openntf.org/projects/pmt.nsf/ProjectLookup/LDDMonkey

Look at the “Project releases” links on the main OpenNTF project page, click the latest release, and follow the install instructions on that page.

What this script does is add a little [+] next to each response link at the bottom of a message that you’re looking at. If you click the [+] next to a response, the text of the response will appear below the link, so you can read it inline instead of having to open a new window.

This will work for all the responses to a thread, so you can read all the responses to a message inline, on a single page.

If you find any bugs or have any suggestions for improvement, please use the OpenNTF project discussion forums (since I don’t want to have to keep checking back here to see if people have questions).

Enjoy.

Subject: Fixed another bug

I just fixed another bug where an extra linefeed was being inserted between the response links, which was a little ugly.

If you installed the script before, just reinstall by right-clicking this link:

http://www.nsftools.com/tools/lddresponse.user.js

and choosing the “Install user script…” option.
