I put a comment in that thread indicating why the script doesn't currently check the "next" post ID to see if it's been deleted. If there isn't a deleted thread there, the script can't cache that information to ease the burden on MeFi's servers. We'd have to check to make sure EVERY time the home page was loaded. If not, there'd still be people who wouldn't see the deleted future post as long as the cache was around.

It would be nice if we could stop having MeTa threads like this:

What about checking for a deleted post at the next ID?

Short of that, a prominent warning that the most recently deleted post may not be shown?

I'm sure this is all explained somewhere, but how it works apparently not getting through to the people using it.

WOW, I guess I had an old version installed because I never saw the deleted posts inline. Amazing! Wish I had known about this update sooner.

Minor bug fix: threads with "more inside" were being displayed non-ideally.

Major update! Mefi deleted posts now shows deleted posts inline through the magic of jQuery and AJAX and judicious local caching. Enjoy.

Music is now excluded from this script. Thanks for the bug report in triplicate, Jofus.

Hey Plutor, this script has the teeniest problem in Mefi Music - it seems to interpret all new Talk threads as Deleted Threads. It took me ages to work out what was going on, and I've worked around it by adding the whole music section to the exclusion list. Thought you might want to know though, sir.

Tinkerty tonk,

Jofus

First updates in a while, mostly minor:

* Make it work on all subsites
* Fix some of the out-of-order false positives on AskMe
* More sensible variable names, so I can update this easier in the future
* Turn off that dumb debug logging!

Tiny fix for AskMe support. (Thanks to mullacc for the heads up.)

(And a less trivial update to fix anonymous AskMe bugs.)

Trivial update to support Ask Metafilter

I fixed a bug the other day that would always show a deleted post immediately below any post that only had one comment. Reinstall to get the fixed version.
