Greasemonkey!

LiveJournal Thread Expander with Expand All
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/27128
I've hacked up a Thread Expander script for Greasemonkey. It has only been tested on a small number of layouts, but it seems to work for me so please bang on it and report any breakages here.

For recent updates see below. What does it do?

This looks awesome! Does it work on JournalFen and/or Dreamwidth etc?

[weaverandom]

(obviously, I mean if one adds JournalFen.Net etc to the list of sites to apply it to.)

I have no idea whether it works… why not try it and see?

It depends on how much those other sites have tinkered with the comment-displaying code and what their styles are like. I don't know, since I don't have accounts on those sites (and of course Dreamwidth wasn't a reality at the time when I posted this code).

Sadly, it does not seem to work. Which suuuucks, as I don't yet have a paid account over there.

ETA: Works on the ?format=light pages, w00t!

ETA 2: Also on site-style pages, yay!

Now if it only worked one the custom comments pages, which all the styles seem to default to...

I've updated the script to cope with the style found here:

http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/5921.html

(in the assumption that that's DW's default style). The "Expand all" link should appear just below the "Leave a comment" link at the bottom of the main journal entry (and also at the bottom of everything).

Yes! *hands you internets*

That's the Transmogrified style and custom comment pages you're seeing on the News comm there. It is also, thankfully, the most popular style on Dreamwidth, so this is very helpful. Right now they only have 3 styles to choose from: that one, Negatives, and Zesty. Transmogrified is the least fug, so everyone is using it.

Would you like your internets wrapped in sparkle ponies or a Dreamwidth invite code?

It now does work on at least some DreamWidth pages (tested on dw_news).
