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?
We've all

It works, yay! Thank you! I also didn't know about Greasemonkey, so now I have lots of learning curve to enjoy :) Any recommended favorite scripts?

I've been using this script for ages now, but unfortunately it stopped working on LJ last night. There's no 'Expand all' even on default layouts, and unless I disable it, clicking Expand manually on paid accounts doesn't work (and no Expand buttons show up for free ones).

I've tried it on 2 different computers, both running Firefox 3.5.10 (I think it's the same version or very close to it) and running Mac OS 10.5.8 Leopard on Intel Macs.

I haven't changed anything on my side, and I've tried reinstalling the script to no avail. Perhaps LJ did something to break it?

Oh dear, that's unfortunate!

I think I've found out what the problem is and made a small fix, so try fetching a new copy.

I just found this, and it's exactly what I need to read a monstrous (but entertaining) thread.

I installed Greasemonkey just fine. But when I went to install the script, the Install button at the top of the page refuses to do anything. It looks as if it's being depressed or clicked or whatever, but it just pops up again and doesn't do anything.

Any idea what the problem might be?

It sounds like Greasemonkey may not be active in your browser.

You should have restarted the browser after installing Greasemonkey, and you should then see a little monkey face in the status bar at the bottom right corner. Mousing over this should say "Greasemonkey is enabled", and right-clicking on it should give the Greasemonkey options menu. Left-clicking on it will turn it grey and disable Greasemonkey (click again to re-enable).

If that's all working, then clicking on Install on the web page for a Greasemonkey script should cause the Greasemonkey dialogue to appear. Otherwise… I'm not really sure what the problem is.

You so totally rock. This is an awesome script, and it's incredibly easy to install and use. Thank you so much for creating this script and making it public!
