Workaround for the grey comment button!

[fiddlingfrog]

Ever since the new default comment scheme came out last December, there have been scores of people complaining that they've been unable to comment because the button would remain greyed-out and unclickable. Unfortunately, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who is affected by this bug so it's been especially hard to fix

This may be asking a bit... and no worries if ya can't or don't have time... but, I was able to use this just great on my Win7 test box!... I have a pretty up-to-date FireFox on there.... but upgrading FF on my old Vista box bred a host of bad issues, so I had to roll it back...
So.... is there a chance you code this to run on FireFox 2 ?
Greasemonkey needs a higher version of FF to run...

Like I said, no prob if it's a hassle...
Thanks again for the help previously!

Unfotunately, this script requires a JavaScript class that doesn't run on Firefox 2. If you could at least upgrade to FF 3, I could make a bookmarklet you could use in lieu of Greasemonkey.

Okay, I wrote up instructions for using this as a bookmarklet; it's in the entry under a spoiler tag so I don't scare anybody with a mass of code Try it out and let me know if it works.

To be honest, I kind of like the bookmarklet better than the Greasemonkey script. Just click on the bookmarklet and the button appears suddenly.

great thinking!... wow, yeah.. bookmarklets are great!!... I will try it when I get home.... thanks for the help!

*rubs chin* ... I can't find the entry where you put the bookmarklet.... could u post a direct #anchor link possibly?
