You´re right, no big deal. But thank you for the information!

Probably a remnant of testing since I've worked with a bunch of configurations and tried out several probably-will never-be-ready-for-release features over time, but on my board I don't see the buttons anywhere except where they should be. Since the includes have to be changed to support a particular board set of URLs by the user anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal. You can set the list of includes to whatever works best for your system.

Thank you for that script!
I use it since the last version where I experienced the script stopping after every user. You solved the issue - now it works fine!
One question: Why do you apply it to viewforum.php by default? It appends check buttons to every topic in viewforum.php, but without any other buttons to click.

Version 4.0 works better with non-English or slightly-modified boards, and adds error feedback to help fix failing deletes. It also adds support for a name list in the source code which, if an name entry is encountered, immediately stops script execution as a failsafe operation.

Version 3.1 fixes a minor bug where member names to delete containing commas would stop the script. All names should now process properly. That is the only change.

Version 3.0 changes the way it detects the administration page link to better accommodate different board styles. The change also better protects against idiots who might try to spoof an administration link inside their own information by tightening the administration link match and not allowing navigation off the main domain page.

Version 2.5 was written to work with a problematic board that used a nondefault style resulting in the control buttons were not displaying. The script changes should provide more graceful degradation of operation if expected internal structures are not present (although it might be uglier, not much I can do about that).

In version 2.0 two new buttons supply additional information about the listed users to help you decide whether or not a member name is valid. The Show Email button toggles between the normal email icon display and the actual email address of members. The Show Website button toggles between the normal website icon display and the website link.
