Something has changed with the website which prevents me from seeing the preview of each ad. I'm not too familiar with JavaScript so anyone here know how to update the source code? Thanks. |

Yes. I second the request for someone to continue to maintain this script. I can't stand Craigslist without it!! |

Yes, it just stopped working in the past handful of days. Very annoying. I initially thought it was Firefox 3.6.6 update that broke it. However, when I reverted to an older version of Firefox it still didn't work. It then dawned on me that CL may be blocking requests from the script somehow. Upon reviewing the script source, I found that the user agent passed in the xmlhttprequest (near the end of the script) is defined as "monkeyagent". I figured CL started blocking this user agent as it probably saw lots of requests from those using the script as this script is fairly popular. I changed "monkeyagent" to something else and it now works. Give it a try and let me know if it fixed your issue. You can put any text that you want instead of "monkeyagent", it's just how the script identifies itself to the site during http calls. Booyakasha! |

It only works on some listings and others it's not. Clearly, no one else wants to update this script so I may take it upon myself to do it soon. |

@goodgnus - thanks for the fix! I've updated the script to use the browser's user-agent, let me know if that has any problems. Sorry about the delay, I haven't used the script lately and this site doesn't notify me of new messages... |

hey realbilly, thanks for updating the script. Regarding notification, you can do that by clicking on your username (beside "Logout" at top right) > settings > Notifications Alternatively, you can check the box "Watch topic" at top for each thread. |
