hit errors, hit clear
go to your favorite 4chan board
look in console for anything saying greasemonkey or [whatever].user.js

Opera:
With menu bar:
Tools > Advanced > Error Console
w/o menu bar:
Start button > Page Tools > Developer > Error Console

Hit Clear
Reload 4chan
Look for any user.js errors
