Official Luthiers Forum!

I've written a Greasemonkey script for Firefox that corrects, on-the-fly, a couple of minor (and I emphasize "minor") hiccups in the way that links are presented here on the OLF.

The "hiccups" that get fixed are:

1. The little button that is supposed to take you to the most recent post in a forum topic loads the topic correctly but doesn't actually move down to the most recent post. This only seems to affect Firefox and may not affect all versions.


2. When viewing the threaded list of posts for any given topic, clicking on a specific post should take you directly to that post within the topic. Instead, it takes you to the very top of the topic page. I think this affects both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Like I said, these are just minor things that most of us probably don't even notice, but they were easy to fix with GreaseMonkey and I thought I'd share the script.

So, for those of you who use Firefox and are interested, here's a direct link to the script:

http://files.scottallyn.com/temp/olftweaks.user.js

You'll need to have the GreaseMonkey Extension installed for this to work, in which case you can just right-click on the above link and select "Install This User Script...". You can also click on the link (it's a plain text file) and select the "Install" button at the top of the resulting page (still assuming that GreaseMonkey is installed).

Very cool Scott! Thank you.

I just realized that I only set the script up to work with http://luthiersforum.3element.com/...

If you visit the OLF via http://www.luthiersforum.com/, the script will remain inactive.

I'll fix it this evening when I return home from work and post an update.ScottAllyn38982.5645601852

I've updated the script so that it now works regardless of which domain you use to access the forums (either luthiersforum.3element.com or luthiersforum.com):

If you've already installed the previous version, you'll need to uninstall and then reinstall it. To uninstall the script:

1. Select "Manage User Scripts..." from the Tools menu in Firefox.
2. Make sure the "OLF Tweaks" script is selected/hilighted in the "Manage User Scripts" window and then click the "Uninstall" button.
3. Click the "OK" button.

Here's a quickie flash video demonstrating that process (note that I sacrificed video quality so that the video would load more quickly):
