This script is no longer maintained or updated. A new version has been released, but it is still in alpha

- Facebook Refresh 2 Alpha

Tired of having to constantly reload your page in order to see if someone has replied to your message or your friends updates in the News Feed? Well with Facebook Refresh you will never have to do that again. The script automatically updates most parts of the page every 30 seconds. No more waiting for a complete page reload. Makes messaging a snap since you can just leave that message page open and have Facebook Refresh get the new message. Plus message alerts are now present in the title so you can just leave Facebook in a tab as you wait for a reply to your message.

Change Log
January 05 - added compatibility for a change in UnFuck Facebook

Update
I've added support for two Facebook userscripts.
Highlight Inbox Link - by Jordon Kalilich
UnFuck Facebook - Another Script by Me

You can activate these scripts from the Tools → Greasemonkey → User Script Commands menu. I suggest you install these two scripts above also because I don't run them until the page has been reloaded, which means you will see the unmodified pages for thirty seconds without the original scripts installed.



Issues
- Javascript Errors thrown by Facebook on the Home Page. Normally I parse out javascript to stop this, but doing so on the Home Page breaks the script completely. You're just going to have to deal with this error until I figure out a way to fix it.
- Other scripts for Facebook may be effected because I load and replace large parts of the page, and since I use XHR the code isn't parsed with Greasemonkey. However, my script now has the option of removing apps and adds in the News Feed, and highlighting the Inbox when you have a message.
- Breaking the Back Button

Coming Soon...
Make autopoke feature less sketchy

Donate To My Caffeine Fund

I'm a college student so that equates to not having much time or money. However, you can donate money to me which I promise to use towards caffeinated items. Caffeine keeps me awake at night which in turn gives me a lot of free time to set at my computer writing userscripts. So basically Your Money -> Caffeine -> Me Awake -> More Userscripts!!!!
