Script Summary: Hover over favorites count in MetaFilter comments to see which users favorited the comment.



Hover over favorites count in MetaFilter comments to see which users favorited the comment.

NOTE: If you want this functionality in the Chrome browser, you need to download the native Chrome extension linked here. The Greasemonkey version of the script does not work properly with Chrome.

Version 3: Adds loading message for when response is slow, adds minimum delay between favorites popup displays, and has minor cosmetic changes. A native Chrome extension is also available, see the I Fix Scripts blog post.

Version 2: Adds explicit text color for white background, variable-height box, hover over post favorites for list in addition to existing comment support.

Note:

  • The current script does not support usage by unregistered users.
  • The script is takes a minimalist approach and doesn't, for example, do smart relocation of the popup if part of it would appear off-screen in its typical position.

If any of these limitations are burdensome, you find a bug, or new features are desired you may contact me on the I Fix Scripts blog to request changes or enhancements.
