Script Summary: Random Equestria Daily Banners!
Version: 8
In a nutshell, this script changes the Equestria Daily banner to a random one, each time you load up the page. If you wish to use this script in Google Chrome, you must install Tapemonkey. There is a small delay while it loads/applies the new banner. I'm also looking into ways to make it apply faster
This script is self-updating, and will prompt you if a new version is detected. If you do not want to update, you can simply check the "do not ask me to update" checkbox and click cancel. If a new banner is set after you install this script, this script will halt the banner randomisation for five minutes (to let you look at the new banner for a while) before resuming with the random banners
Also note that currently, the banner styles you select are not saved. I'm also working to fix this in future releases
The AdBlock Plus+ issue was due to me naming the banners folder banners, where AdblockPlus blocks images with the filename: *.com/banners/*. There was also a few problems with the auto-updater script not working. That's all resolved now, sorry for the interruption
Go to Firefox's Add-ons page by clicking on the top-left Firefox button, and clicking Add-ons. Once there, go to the User Scripts section in the left bar.
Right-click on Equestria Daily Banner Rotation script that shows, and click Edit.
Once you have opened the script, search for "var include_old" , without the quotes
There you will see four lines, to the right, between the /* and */ symbols is a small description of what that line controls. To disable sections, change the "true" on that line to "false"
If you wanted to disable old-style banners, go to the two lines with old-style in the description, and change true to false for both of these lines

Customising the banner types you want to view
If you want to, say, only view new-style banners, that's quite easy to do.Go to Firefox's Add-ons page by clicking on the top-left Firefox button, and clicking Add-ons. Once there, go to the User Scripts section in the left bar.
