Firefox-extensions to remedy some of the Level 2+ issues (*cough* ignore)

[Kellanved]

I took a little time to write two Firefox-Extensions for DU.

The first is inspired by this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3963703
Alas, it uses the word "Buddy" instead of the proposed word, resulting in a working buddy list.
The word is rather easy to change... ;-)

(:P)

The second:
A ignore function, which will work even at level 3. Users can be added and removed; the posts and threads of ignored users get completely hidden.

To use either of those scripts, you'll need the Grease Monkey Firefox extension and - well - Firefox.

2. I installed it and it works beautifully!!

(You are my first "buddy")

You can even see the marking on the lounge page!

:D

Hey - how can you take someone off ignore?
I was hesitant to click it, not knowing how to get them back.

5. there's a list at the bottom of each page

Listing the names of ignored users who posted on it - a click on a name will remove that poster from the list.

:D

11. the compiler is neat

But I'll leave it uncompiled. Leaving it open source etc.

6. to change the "buddy" text of the buddy script

1. Download the scrip and open it with a text processor (not word).
2. replace _all_ occurrences of "buddy" with the word of your choice
3. replace the <insert your word > with anything - it doesn't matter what exactly.
4. install

My hat is off to thee.

8. Excellent! Will it work in Mozilla 1.7.x? (nt)

[Kellanved]

10. I don't think so

IIRC Grease Monkey isn't (yet) available as a mozilla extension.
