@Hiromacu: I know you posted your comments quite a while ago, and I'm really sorry I never got back to you at the time. I'm glad you posted because I never know how many people actually use my scripts (although I can now see that this does have 18 fans).

I took your advice on changing the "Favourite scripts" thing to avoid confusion. I was clinging to it a little because my script have the functionality before the site did, but I should probably move with the times on that. Also, I believe I explained before that I'm not big on having the link in the top bar (either in my comments or in the comments to Raffles' similar script ... either that or I just thought it), but yeah, I tried to stick with the general format of the site when I came up with this, so I didn't want to add such a minor page to the links when eg. my scripts aren't linked from there, and I know I check that page more than my favourites.

Also, regarding the issue with terminating the script once it's started loading; I did play with this when you posted your comment, but I decided it's not a huge hinderance (although I personally only have about 20 scripts favourited, and I know it would be worse with many more), because it would be rare for this to occur (at least it would for me), and I don't know if people often click links and then change their mind. In brief, implementing some form of fix would be more hassle for me than it's worth.

But once again, thanks for taking the time to comment, and I'm glad that you use the script.

@sharmard: I don't quite know what to suggest or what could be causing your problem. I've looked through the code for this script a number of times and I can't see where it could be messing up. I've even tried it with the script you mention, but there are no problems for me. The only thing I can think that you should try is maybe uninstalling the script and ensuring you tick the "Also uninstall associated preferences" box. Then reinstall the script and re-add your favourites (it'd probably be best to either open them in tabs or to bookmark them all before doing this).

@dejitarob: Indeed there are two different lists, one is saved on the userscripts server and one locally on your machine. As I outline in the description of this script, the advantage of this one is that the locally saved list is viewable only to you and not to every Tom, Dick or Harry who wants to see what you've favourited. Other than this minor difference, there is no real difference between this and the system that has since been implemented to userscripts.org.

Since the implementation of the favouriting system on us.o, I've not seen the point or had the inclination to combine or update this script in any major way to integrate it with the site. I hope this explanation helps.

I've only just read dejitarob's comment, and I don't know if they'll be back to read this reply, but for everyone's info -- this script will add two different links to your favourites (one of which will redirect and end up being the same as the other). These are http://userscripts.org/users/me#favourites, and, using myself as an example, http://userscripts.org/users/22480#favourites.

Since I wrote this script, the userscripts site has had a favourites system integrated into it, and the disadvantage of this is that everyone can see your favourites. However, to see these favourites the link will be http://userscripts.org/users/22480;favorites.

Without having this in front of me, it's hard to tell what the problem could be. If you've added any new scripts recently (past week or so), try removing them and re-adding them. I can't think of any reason why it should show up with new comments at the top which aren't listed next to any scripts. I don't know if yours would be an isolated issue though because no one else has complained (and indeed it is working fine for me).

In the extreme, you could try bookmarking all of your favourite scripts and reseting the favourites value in about:config.

@theaulddubliner: is the number of comments for that script accurate now? It would be possible to have negative new comments if comments have been deleted for a script since the last time that you viewed your favourite scripts. Also, it might be possible that this script has erred at some point when checking for new comments. I added the functionality to show negative new comments during a time where a lot of spam commenters were posting and these were being deleted.

FF User, you're entirely right. This is due to a change that must have occurred to the site that slipped past me. (Basically the link to the script's author used to be to userscripts.org/people/whatever, but now it's to userscripts.org/users/whatever). I've fixed this problem, so all you might need to do is simply remove and re-add any favourites that don't show up on the table. My apologies for not noticing and fixing this sooner.

theaulddubliner, thanks for the compliment. I'm probably going to be using my implementation too, as all of my favourites are already saved there. Also, I don't know if you've seen the latest script I uploaded, which shows the new comments and updates at the top on the us.o built-in favorites table (link here).

The scripts are stored using GM_setValue, and you can access the information by looking at about:config, and searching for greasemonkey.scriptvals.znerp/userscripts favourites/favourites. For each script I've saved the script's number, the scriptwright's number, the last update date and the number of comments.
