MetaFilter Scroll Tag

Script Summary:
Tracks your last-read comment in threads, and allows you to jump back to it easily. |
this script has 1 topic, 7 posts |
This script has no reviews. |
As you read a thread, a little marker to the left of the comments should follow you. If you scroll back up, the marker will turn so it's pointing downwards, at which point you can click on it to return to (roughly) your last read comment. If you leave the thread and go back to the home page, the "(XX new)" comments link will now link you back to your last read comment. There will also be a new link on each thread in your Recent Activity page that says "XX since the last comment you read". If you don't like where the tag is in a thread, you can just drag it to a different comment.
Opera users: This script has been tested as working in Opera 9.26 for Windows. According to the documentation, it should work in version 8 or above on any OS. You will need to also add the Greasemonkey builtin function emulator script available here.
Safari users: Due to a known bug in GreaseKit, you will have to install this version of MetaFilter Scroll Tag. Thanks to cj_ for the bug report and the fix.
