Fark Anal Reverteresque ReDux

It's Farky without the extension. Farky features like "Where I've Posted", "New Comments for read threads", Headline filtering by source, arrows in comments, etc. "My Fark" back on the main navbar, (and foobies) Remove Ad Containers, referrals.

Updated to fix Fark's inclusion of the "All" tab for the combined page. Farkyish comments supported on that page as well. Yay site changes!

I love Farky and all, but I've found it to be quite the hog lately and I don't know why. Blame my computer, I don't care. Bottom line: Fark.com has put in a lot of Farky features (new comment jumping, favorite users, etc.), and it's making it less optimal for system performance to keep Farky installed.

So, I've been slowly but surely taking a lot of the Farky features I like and putting them in a small GreaseMonkey script to streamline FireFox a bit more.

UPDATES:

07/08/08: Added in mikeruhlin's tweak below to make arrows clickable/counted for comments mentioning your name. Thanks for the help, great idea!
Also created a better options menu for URL/Tag filtering. It's under Tools -> Greasemonkey -> User Script Commands -> Fark Anal Reverteresque ReDux Options.

This script will track comments in threads you've clicked on the main pages, and make the comments reflect any new comments, Farky style e.g.: (12 + 8). It has not been fully tested with the "Too Many" or special character comment innerHTML, we need a good Obama or Religious thread for that.

It will load your user page to find out where you've posted, and highlight those thread links accordingly. this feature is based off the excellent work of mikeruhlin, but is optimized to load less and speed up the process.
If you're looking for a great combo with this script, use his Fark New Stories script to truly create a "Farky" feel.

It also will do the "arrow next to comments mentioning my username" thing

There's also headline and tag filtering based on the source URL/tag. You can add/delete filters via "Tools -> Greasemonkey -> User Script Commands -> Fark Anal Reverteresque ReDux Options"

MyFark and Foobies are added to the top bar again, along with the "Liter" Voting Tab when you're on a TF page (personal preference).

Sidebar ads are also removed, etc. This does a lot, I'd say. Farky experience without the extension.

I say add a config option for whether or not to hide the ads and stuff. Free sites depend on advertising.

Any chance you could remove the right div altogether (div id="bodyRightSideContainer")? It's the one that the right side ad boxes were in. It's a shame to waste so much browser space on an empty section.

Thanks!

mikeruhlin Scriptwright 		I've made some additions to this script to help out the indicators for comments that mention you.
1) The image is now linkable. Will go directly to the next comment that's mentioned you.
2) Displays a link at top and bottom of each page, "n comments mentioned your name". Clicking link goes to the first comment.

Let's see if userscripts.org understands my line breaks this time....
Replace line 187 through end of file with:

var myNameCount = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < posts.snapshotLength; i++)
{
if (posts.snapshotItem(i).innerHTML.toLowerCase().indexOf(myname) > -1)
{
highlighttag = document.createElement('span');
tagHTML = '<a href="#mentions_' +myname+ '_' +(myNameCount+1)+ '" name="mentions_' +myname+ '_' +(myNameCount)+ '" id="mentions_' +myname+ '_' +(myNameCount)+ '">';
tagHTML += '<img style="float:left;position:relative; left:-10px;top:1px;" src="' + highlight + '" border="0">';
tagHTML += '</a>';
highlighttag.innerHTML = tagHTML;
posts.snapshotItem(i).parentNode.insertBefore(highlighttag, posts.snapshotItem(i));
myNameCount++;
}
}

if(myNameCount > 0){
// Link the last tag back to the first.
var lastMyName = document.getElementById('mentions_' +myname+ '_' + (myNameCount-1));
lastMyName.href = '#mentions_' + myname + '_0';
}

// Add total count...
myNameCountLink = '<br><a href="#mentions_' + myname + '_0">' + myNameCount + ' Comment' + ((myNameCount>1)?'s':'') +' mentioned you.</a><br>';

// Top of page
var commentsHeader = document.getElementById("commentsHeader");
commentsHeader.innerHTML += myNameCountLink;
// Bottom of page
bottomSpan = document.createElement('span');
bottomSpan.innerHTML = myNameCountLink;
var bottomOfPage = document.getElementById("commentsPostingArea");
bottomOfPage.parentNode.insertBefore(bottomSpan, bottomOfPage);
}

Oooh, glad I looked at this one. From the title I thought it was just a "remove ads and skin fark to look like it used to in The Before Time" script. Excellent work bringing back the image next to comments that mention my name, as well as cleaning up my grossly inefficient farkyish comments code.

Shoot - didn't check it out thoroughly :(
The Foobies link only seems to be showing on the foobies pages. Le sigh.

(I turned off all the other GS scripts, too, just in case.)

Sweetness!

(Admittedly, it took me days to notice it but it is, indeed, there and it is good)

Sure, but can you add a link to FOOBIES at the top?

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
