New Version! (19 March 2007)
This is a new improved version. Performance has improved hugely (pretty much instantaneous on normal threads, and a couple of seconds on the very longest threads). New features include highlighting of your comments, a less obtrusive layout, an improved list view, highlighting of cortex and pb's comments in Metatalk. Check the screenshot for details.

See a new screenshot. Archived discussion: MetaTalk thread.

Mefi Navigator does a few things that make quickly navigating Metafilter threads a bit easier:
- Comment navigation. The « and » arrows allow you to quickly move through a user's comments, while the list icon ≡ shows you a clickable list of all his/her comments in the thread. At the top of the list, the ·< and >· links allow you to skip to a user's first and last comments respectively.
- Admin highlighting. Matt, Jessamyn and Cortex's comments are highlighted with a small tag after their username, in Metatalk only.
- Original poster highlighting. Especially useful in AskMe threads, to quickly find questioners' responses.
- Highlights your responses, automatically. To find your username, the script reads the Metafilter 'user_name' cookie. (This happens locally; there are no security or privacy risks here)
----------------------------------------------
Works on Metafilter, AskMe, MetaTalk, and all other subsites. Works with both the default theme and the plain one. Works with any version of Firefox above 1.0.7. Works on recent versions of Opera.
