Thanks for the extra info, Jason. I have a computer with only this Greasemonkey script installed, and it works. I can't reproduce your problems. I thought maybe it was because I'm using Firefox 2, so I installed Firefox 3, and it works too. Weird. I should mention that this script was updated in April 2008. If anyone is using a version older, that would explain why it isn't working. Using the most recent version (1.0.2) should work fine. |

Thanks SomKen. I've uploaded a new version. It works for me. Let me know if it gives you any problems. |

Works for me. Are you forgetting to hit the filter button when you add a keyword? Or maybe you have conflicting Greasemonkey scripts? Disable the others and see if that helps. If you figure out which script is causing a conflict, let me know. |

Keep up the good work, neaveru! |

Don't bother. All this does is convert some links to say "Good news for Linux!" Not exactly useful. |

Don't bother. It looks like a stalled project that the author never got around to finishing. The code is exactly the same as his other script. |

Four million?!? How is it possible for a Greasemonkey script to be installed more times than there are Greasemonkey plugins? Yes, that's right -- on mozilla.org you can see that the Greasemonkey plugin has "181,181 downloads." And yet this script has been installed 4 million times? That means each and every Greasemonkey user has it installed 20 times! You can't even say that people have re-installed it each time the script gets upgraded, because it hasn't been upgraded for a year! |

Yeah, looks like the source is good now! Congrats! However, to whomever run userscripts.org, it sucks that you've set the script source code page body to "text-align:center" for IE users! Who wants to read code centered!?! |

Wow! I just looked at TheBunman's code and it isn't even that bad! It waits for you to view the article summary, and even then it pops up a confirmation. C'mon! With all the controversy I expected it to just bury EVERYTHING on the home page that was from Daily Mail, maybe 2 or 3 or 4 stories on every page. But this? This isn't bad. This is like a helper application. However, what IS bad is that it auto-posts a comment saying that the story was autoburied and providing a link to the script. That's spammy. In fact, that's just as bad as someone posting spammy stories! So TheBunman, I'd encourage you to release a new version with the auto-comment lines removed. Just allow the buries without spamming the discussion. Good luck! |

If someone is going to manually bury daily mail articles, I don't see anything wrong with automating it. People can bury stories for any number of reasons. I often bury stories because of certain authors or sites. Some groups are notorious for being spammy, and it's a good thing for members to react to that. In the case of daily mail, I believe it has a reputation for being poorly fact-checked and sensationalist. That's the kind of thing I can shrug off or even laugh at, but for people who want Digg to appear as more "legit" let them put in their 2 cents. They're doing what they think is correct for Digg. |

Wow, that helped more than I expected. It's really nice now. The code works fast, too. Some of my scripts, not so fast. I hope you don't mind if I borrow some of your ideas? |

Nicely done! I'm surprised at the changes. I don't visit the Codex much lately, but this certainly helps it to look less sloppy and more enticing. I see you have another Codex script. I'll take a look. |
