Mine is doing the same as Olivias. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times, even restarted mozilla...still not working.

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.

Tim: Cool. There's still no "Unfold all" in your script, right? Or am I missing it? My solution is very hackish because I didn't want to understand everything, just to make it work. ;)

Oh, this latest script of yours turns every "(Thread)" into "(Thread - Unfold)" even when the thread was never folded.

Lastly, you could replace your addGlobalStyle with the built-in GM_addStyle :)

Finally updated to be able to:

* Expand nested threads in nested threads
* Expand group of comments with one-click

Thanks, Henrik!

had that on my todo list for a long time, but could not find the time. The problem is I want to do it with one Ajax request, not with many, like you did…

Modified this script to add an "Unfold all" option: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5552

Doesn't work for me viewing something in my layout (I use the S2 system and the Generator layout). I only get the Unfold option on comments that are not folded, and clicking on it does some very odd things to my color scheme (I have a black background and green text, it changes text to black on the black background, making it unreadable. It also puts a white border around the page and makes username links turn blue). I do not get the option to unfold at all next to the folded comments (the ones where you can only see the subject line). If you would like to see the behavior I'm talking about, take a look at http://stufff.livejournal.com

In other styles, ones that are mostly left to the default settings, the unfold options do appear, though sometimes it will double or tripple itself.

Automatically unfolding all nested comments when I view a page would also be awesome. Thank you for your time in trying to create a workaround for this annoying "feature" that LJ should allow users to turn off, if not leave off by default.

It's an improvement, but I wish I had something to open /all/ nested comments in-place instead of one at a time! Thank you for the hard work, though, and I'll be keeping the script. ^_^
