Please update this script to work with the current Gmail interface. Thanks.

not work now

I've temporarily uploaded my suggested fix (see comment below) as a userscript:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/22660

You can try that until the main script is updated.

I appreciate the link, but I'm hoping you won't mind directing it to my new domain instead: http://gangles.ca/?p=63

Where do I find my spam id in the source? I'll gladly assist with getting this fixed..

@Daniel - I swear it was working for me earlier on my XP machine at the office, but you're right. It's not working now that I'm home on my Mac nor is it working on my PC any longer.

Arend's change seems to work for me on both the Mac and PC. I have no idea what happened between this morning and now, but my apologies for any confusion.

@daniel
Here's my try. Pretty ugly, but it seems to work:
div.ybaOyc>div>div+div+div+div+div+div+div.ACpQre div.PQmvpb span

With this the spam count is shown again when you are in Spam view. Delete the .ACpQre part, if you don't like this.

Spurious is right, but now Google has added an ID to make life easier (in the short term):

Replace

#ds_spam b,div[id$="^s"] span

with

div[id="1f8q"] span

Don't forget that it needs to be replaced twice. It seems to be working for me.

This no longer works.

Maybe you can help me. Hide Spam Count breaks a thing in my Blue Gmail Skin http://pascal.herbert.googlepages.com/bluegmail...

If there are Spams and your script is installed, the background is not it should be.

Woo-hoo! Thanks for getting this updated. Just included it in Better Gmail 2--thanks again!

thanks for the update!

Brilliant! Thanks for the effort.

Thank you Arend, your fix work!

The following fix works for me:
Replace (twice)
span[title^="Spam ("]
with
div[id$="^s"] span

The stylish code relies on the id starting with 1f9t. That is not always the case. The id-prefix changes sometimes.

But I don't want them marked read...
Could someone please update the script again, I miss it.

While I love this script, you *can* actually mark spam messages as read using the Gmail filter system:

And then it randomly stopped working. Ack!

I installed the script today in FF 2.0.0.9 on Mac OS X 10.4.10. I have Better Gmail 2.0 installed as well with all but the Message Details option checked.

So far, it works perfectly as I navigate through Gmail, refresh Gmail, or even restart Firefox.

GMail changed its code yet again! I guess those google guys are still perfecting their new interface. what a pain for us script-writers, but improvement is good for users :)

So here's what I've noticed. I open Gmail and the spam count is not hidden. Gmail sits a while (don't know how long, at this point) and at some point I look back and the count is hidden. I hit 'F5' and the count is back when the page is reloaded.

I don't know quite what to make of that yet, but when I can dedicate some time, I might try to sort out what's going on.
