The tagging stuff for Semagic is the best thing ever. No more posting to a community and using the wrong tags!

Thanks so much!

This is so helpful. I've wanted to use some GM scripts for ages but I thought it was much more complicated that that. I just don't under stand what you mean when you say to put that style=mine script in a bookmark?

[isiscolo]

Okay, I assume you use Firefox (since you mention GM). Go to your Bookmarks menu item and choose "Manage Bookmark" and then select "New Bookmark". Put "style=mine" in the "name" field, and paste the script above into the "location" field, and hit "OK". Then, drag the bookmark from your list into your bookmarks toolbar to create a button that you can easily hit to style=mine things.

Just out of interest, I tried this script using Opera v. 9.10 and it works in that as well! Is there by any chance a thread-unfolder that will work with Opera too? Because that would be really useful.

Thanks! I've been using a couple of those for a while, but that "unfolding" one is a great find!

See my explanation to shaggirl - does that help you?

Who-hoo! Word counts! I have no software on this computer that will count words--or characters--for me, so this is a terrific find. Thanks!
