WARNING: (9/16/2010) This script is currently broken. Facebook has changed the way its pages load as well as the poking functionality drastically. I'm still working on debugging this script and getting it running again. There is another Auto-Poke script available here so you can give that a shot. Check back here for any updates. I hope to get this script working again soon.

Please let me know of ways to improve this script by leaving a comment. And report any bugs you experience. The fastest way to get a response is to e-mail me: jack.hsu (at) gmail.com

  • Minor fix for new Facebook class names.

  • No longer need to sniff URL to insert buttons. Instead, periodically check the DOM to see if we need to insert or not.
  • Fixed some selectors to accommodate new Facebook class names and IDs. Checkboxes should display once again.

  • Hopefully the script will work for everyone again. Please let me know if there are further problems.
  • Seems like the @require tag doesn't work with the latest GreaseMonkey, or Firefox 3.5. I've removed it in favour of the old manual script loading of jQuery.

  • Script should be working again. Basically, the URLs on facebook have changed, causing the script to not run even though it was on the home page.
