MetaFilter Scroll Tag

Tracks your last-read comment in threads, and allows you to jump back to it easily.

You can drag and drop it to a specific comment if you like, and where you place it is saved between sessions.

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.

I just uploaded an update for this script. Fixes include:

* Dropping the tag above the first comment doesn't do wacky things anymore
* Dropping/following the tag below the last comment doesn't tag the next/previous thread links
* Eyecandy: The jumper fades in now
* Handle zero comments gracefully
* I'm now replacing the "mm new" links and text on the home pages, etc.
