My name isn't Marco Rogers ;)

You might want to make a rather big notice on the script page, that you have to edit the script yourself, and instructions on how to do it for n00bs. ;)

Good script though.

Edit: Here's a tip. Facebook has a messy URL system and sometimes looks similar to this when you're on the home page:
http://www.facebook.com/friends/?ref=tn#/home.php?ref=home

You get that if you go on the friends page, then the home page. Because the URL doesn't say http://www.facebook.com/home.php even though you're on it, the script will not work. So.. to fix this, change the 'Includes Pages' to: http://*.facebook.com/*home.php* which will include any facebook.com with home.php in it! :)

You shouldn't have to edit it yourself. That's a bug. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the info about the urls too. I noticed that too, but I wasn't sure if those weird urls were intentionally created by facebook. Rather than try to detect that, I'll probably just read the page and make sure you're on the home page.

I made some fixes. It shows the right name now. Not sure if I fully fixed the funky url thing though. Thanks for the feedback.
