The following is an archive of comments made before threaded discussions was implemented (November 16th, 2008)

Tim Babych's original (linked above) works with current LJ changes. I do miss "unfold all", though....

I suspect this was broken on purpose by LJ in order to force people to pay them to use the expand feature (or upgrade to a plus account and pay them by eyeballing the ads).

I would *love* to see this fixed, and I would also love for this to disable LJ's ajax "Expand" bullshit. The expand takes too long to load. I like the Greasemonkey script *much* better. It loads *faster*

Course, the other reason "Expand" probably takes forever to load could be to force us to look at more ads...but since I have adblocker, I have no idea if that's true or not.

This has been working (with a few exceptions) until now, but now it suddenly doesn't work at all. Like Tephra mentioned below now the comment just dissapears when you click on the unfold option. I'm also on LJ, and using Firefox 2. I hope it works out , I've been relying on this script for so long :)

This doesn't seem to work since LJ added the thread expanding feature to paid accounts. When you try to unfold a comment thread now the comment you try it on disappears instead.

It still works fine on InsaneJournal and JournalFen so it has to be a result of LJ's changes. Well, except for trying to unfold the last comment thread on JF pages, sometimes that just makes the thread disappear as well.

I'd like to have this work on InsaneJournal, as well, please and thank you.

Like some other people have mentioned, I'd like to be able to unfold threads from a parent comment and would also like to be able to unfold long threads as many times as necessary instead of having the Unfold link disappear after it's used. As far as I remember, both were features of the original version.

I like the unfold all option, but you took away the unfold option for first level comments. And that's the thing I used most on Babych's version -- unfolding all the comments under a single first level comment, rather than unfolding everything on the page.

This is awesome. I've been looking for this for a while. Is there any way to make it automatically unfold all, without me having to click the link?

Thank you for this script, Henrik. I use it all the time.

Some subthreads with *lots* of comments, it seems to bottom out and stop unfolding. I don't know whether this flaw also exists in Tim Babych's original script--I've never used it.

http://community.livejournal.com/thedressingroo... is one example, in particular the

subthread.

This is just bloody weird.

When I posted a couple of days ago, "unfold" wasn't even showing up on this thread:
http://cesperanza.livejournal.com/158348.html -- it's still not, even though I reloaded the page, etc.

Today it's working again on this thread:
http://cereta.livejournal.com/348144.html

Both in the generic, blue and white style commment page.

So a few days ago, it wasn't working at all, now it's working in some pages and not showing up in others.

(This is with Firefox btw -- in Opera, the "unfold" shows up on both pages but just hangs on "loading" and doesn't work.)

I'm using it on the generic comments page, and it's stopped working in both Firefox and Opera. In Firefox, Greasemonkey is enabled and other scripts are still working.

I'm not actually using it in any special theme.

Now nonfunctional for me as well. Holly's fix doesn't work for me either.

Ok I disabled custom comment pages and now it works again...maybe that will work for you Olivia.

I had both scripts installed and it was working fine, and now mine is doing the same as olivias. I've tried reinstalling to no avail. I haven't changed my LJ style, I did change the colors and a few minor things but it was working after that, just tonight it stopped when I changed them over the weekend.

This script suddenly stopped working for me -- and I rely on it a lot! I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, it still shows up in the Greasemonkey console. Any ideas?

Both thread unfolder scripts malfunction after a while. Why is this? I'll click "unfold" and it starts loading but then replicates the "unfold" and never loads. The script used to work and now doesn't.

I would love for this to work.

Does not work here: http://benchilada.livejournal.com/344133.html

as far as I can tell. I've tried viewing it in my own journal style to no avail. Thanks for this, this is what I've been wanting for ages as well, and I have no idea why LJ doesn't implement it themselves.
