Description

New in 0.4: Prefixed replies no longer preserve in_reply_to data by default, since Twitter decided that all actual replies should be private (defeating the whole point of prefixing).

This script shows a preview of the tweet you're replying to below the update box on twitter.com, and automatically prefixes web replies with a user-customizable string.

User Script Commands

Preserve reply data?
Toggles whether prefixed replies are sent to Twitter as replies, making them private (defaults to false [public mentions])
Set reply prefix
set the automatic #fixreplies reply prefix (defaults to ".")
