I recommend adding the following lines directly before the var w=videoname[1].toLowerCase().split(/\s*\b\s*/);
var v=link.innerHTML.replace(/<[^>]+>/gi,"").toLowerCase().split(/\s*\b\s*/).filter(function(t){return t.length>2});
if(v.filter(function(t){return w.indexOf(t)!=-1}).length/v.length>0.5) return;
This checks if the link already has the correct name, and then doesn't change it if it does. I have mine set up to change the 'mouseover' text regardless. |

It looks like those pages need to be added to the exclude list. What's the URL of a favorites page? I don't use YouTube really (hence my hatred of blind links), and definitely don't use it enough to have an account and page on it... so I just exclude pages that affect me. you can add in the excluded pages under greasemonkey...manage user scripts... and select the YouTube Title Adder and click "Add" under the "the following sites are excluded..." box. |

Here are some screenshots that might help explain: Before installation: http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1060/ytfavs8... http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/8118/ytsubs888... http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/679/ytvid888... After: http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/4059/ytvid99... |

I wanted to use it on YouTube. The problem is that the "Subscriptions", "My Videos", and "Favorites" pages only show half the title or so for each video, so you never know what each video actually is before clicking on it. They don't even have a hover feature. That's the main reason this script interested me. Then when you watch a YouTube video on the YouTube site, there are links to other videos and all the titles get appended to and the whole page is a huge mess. You can barely read the comments or anything. I've tried messing with the script but I'm programming illiterate so I broke it. I'll try again though. Do you know if there is a way to just extend the file name rather than append to it? Or maybe erase the original file name at least partially and just view the appendage? |

{ link.innerHTML = '' + link.innerHTML + " (YT: " + videoname[1] + ")"; } That is how it outputs after a link. You can play with that for formatting. As far as showing up for "many links on the site", I am not sure what you mean. You may just want to add an exclusion in Greasemonkey for specific sites if it's a bother. Right now, it excludes:

Is there any way I can remove the first part of the title and just display the "(YT:" part? Then is there anyway I can remove the "(YT:" part so just the title appears? Also, the "(YT:" links are appended to many links on the site and the page is filled with them. I really want something like this - I even made a forum post about it - but this is much too buggy. |

Also stopped working for me. I tried uninstall/reinstall, still not working. |

Hmm, it recently stopped working for me. Not sure if it's the scripts problem or my own. |

I am loving this script! However it also adds titles to image links which tends to mess up the layout of pages. It would be a really nice addition to make the YT titles optionally show only in mouse-over tips - for text links too :) Just my two cents :] |

You know, doing all these scripts I never caught on to changing the Title = having to uninstall old one (since I just upload the script by pasting the source code from my machine). I apologize to all for having to uninstall/reinstall. I'll keep it titled as "1.2" from now on, even if i make changes. Thanks for the heads up! |

Yes you were right, didn't notice any change in load times. You shouldn't change the name of the script though, makes upgrading more complicated as users have to uninstall the previous version. |

You'd be surprised how it really doesn't. |
