Hi,
your script didn't catch all the quizzes for me so I examined the code a bit. I found that it only looks at the title of the message. I've rewritten it using the getElementsByClassName() function i FF3.
Now it looks inside the 'body' of the message, class 'UIStoryAttachment_Copy'. And matches the forbiden strings to that.
I've also edited the msg_parparpar so that when it locates the UIIntentionalStory item, I'm using 'msg_parparpar.parentNode.removeChild(msg_parparpar);' to remove it from the list of items. That way you don't see the double grey lines indicating something's missing from the homepage.

}

//waits till page is loaded
window.addEventListener("load", starter, false);

However I'm not the author of this script, thanks for the hint with getElementsByClassName(). I was searching in all DIVs and it was redundant. But I'm not using 'msg_parparpar.parentNode.removeChild(msg_parparpar);' and there are no gray lines anyway. It was there only yesterday :)
And I recommend to apply this script for whole http://www.facebook.com/*. When you open some page in new tab, home.php will change to somthing different.

reelo:
Well, it was filtering only stories containing forbiden_strings inside

tag.

You're right, http://www.facebook.com/*home.php* is better

This script isn't working for me now. (I'm not clearly sure it ever was).
I'm using the amended code above and have it enabled for http://www.facebook.com/*home.php*

Greasemonkey seems to show the script is ON, but the quiz stories remain. I also added the forbidden string "take this quiz" but still no luck. Help!
