Music is now excluded from this script. Thanks for the bug report in triplicate, Jofus.

Hey Plutor, this script has the teeniest problem in Mefi Music - it seems to interpret all new Talk threads as Deleted Threads. It took me ages to work out what was going on, and I've worked around it by adding the whole music section to the exclusion list. Thought you might want to know though, sir.

Tinkerty tonk,

Jofus

Very nice job on this. It's pretty handy when scanning a thread.

I love this script :-)

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working quite right on my Mac anymore, now that I've upgraded to Firefox 3. The initial 4 pics in each category load fine, then it just churns away at the others without loading them. I un- and re-installed with no effect...help?!

Thanks.

EDIT "Everyone's Images" loads fine, it's just the "My stuff" and "My contacts' stuff" that churn...

Fixed some regressions reported by team lowkey:

* Ignoring configured maximum nearby user threshold

* Sometimes showing nearby users as contacts, even when they're not

Updated to use the new top-secret XML interface pb has so nicely provided.

Some minor cleanups from yesterday's release:

* Space multiple rows better

* In-script documentation of configuration options

* Put images into an array of hashes, not a mixed array

Comment on Flickr More Home made Apr 30, 2008:

Plutor

Some updates:

* Show two rows of contacts' photos. (This is configurable. Save the script, open in an editor, and edit the "imgrows" hash.)

* Improved caching uses toSource() on data arrays instead of caching the entire HTML response.

* Include videos in contacts' and everyone's lists

* A lot more code reuse. Faster, smaller, and easier to maintain.

* Show a throbber while loading

You will probably need to click the blue "refresh" button in the upper right corner after upgrading in order to clear out the old cache.

You can now customize the minimum number of favorites by saving the script source and editing the "MINIMUMFAVORITES" value.

Fixed. Flickr made some more changes to the HTML on their home page, which I've had to handle.

Great script! Thank you!

First updates in a while, mostly minor:

* Make it work on all subsites

* Fix some of the out-of-order false positives on AskMe

* More sensible variable names, so I can update this easier in the future

* Turn off that dumb debug logging!

Fixed. (Flickr changed the width of their main table. Yes, that's a bad way to be deciding which is the main table.)

I just uploaded an update for this script. Fixes include:

* Dropping the tag above the first comment doesn't do wacky things anymore

* Dropping/following the tag below the last comment doesn't tag the next/previous thread links

* Eyecandy: The jumper fades in now

* Handle zero comments gracefully

* I'm now replacing the "mm new" links and text on the home pages, etc.
