Greasemonkey script: Warn before posting anonymously

[clayfoot]

Every day, it seems somebody accidentally posts anonymously and quickly follows up with a "That was me" logged-in post. This Greasemonkey script pops up a 'confirm' dialog and asks you to click 'OK' to continue posting anonymously. It works by adding an event listener to the 'click' event on the submit button. When you click the 'Post Comment'

For some reason I haven't had this particular problem, so my comment is not based on personal experience with this script. But I'll say it anyway, because no one else has (yet).

You rule.

I <3 my new LJ Thread Unfolder!

Thanks.

I wish I had thought of the Unfolder script, too.

Oh. Well, you're still the one from whose post I got the link, so at least partial credit for that.

It worked awesomely until a few days ago (around when lj made those changes, like in the urls), and now it warns me every time I try to leave a comment, even though I am definitely logged in. Is it just me?

It's not just you. The LiveJournal people changed the way cookies work right after I posted the script. The LiveJournal changes had bugs in them, so for at least a week, they kept changing how the cookies worked. Now that the cookie system seems to have settled out (and my desktop computer is working again), I'll change the script to work with the new cookie scheme, and post a new version. Also, if you look through the other comments in this thread, you may find a version of the script that already has the cookies worked out.

Ah, ok. Thanks!
