Fed up of reading drivel?
User names not quite right?
Can't stand some avatars?
Killing impulses starting to take over?

Then help is at hand.
Help in the form of two greasemonkey scripts.
As easy as one two three, you can
Take control back:

1 Get Firefox = http://getfirefox.com
2 Get the Greasemonkey extension = https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

3 Get these two scripts:


http://rhp42.110mb.com/gm_scripts/avatards.user.js
http://rhp42.110mb.com/gm_scripts/gbaway.user.js


The first script allows you to change what you see as the avatar of any user in the forum. Go to their profile page and click the 'replace avatar' link, enter any image URL from the intertubes (it will display 50x50). To re-set a changed avatar back to "normal" enter "default".

The second script is the good old gbaway. It's been updated so there are now links in the forum pages as well as the profile page for ignoring. There is also a message link and a rename link in the forum. Message sets up a PM and rename allows you to enter you own name for your favourite forum posters.
If you forget who they were orginally then there's a tooltip that will show up when you hover the mouse pointer over the username.

Dang ADD! I went looking for the web site that lets you "destroy" web pages by throwing things at it, having ants walk across it, etc. Somehow I ended up watching Klingon dating tips.

You should go into the clique room and discuss it privately....So you don't hurt Very Rusty's fragile feelings! 😛

You not the brightest light bulb in the room, if you haven't got it figured out yet, are you. 😛

If Gbaway has installed properly there will be an option next to reccomend post, called Ignore Very Rusty, click that and the inane drivel will be replaced my a small blank space.

Wow, look at what you can do with these new scripts - http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/406/scrprnt.jpg

I love it, Thank you Orangutan.

It will be nice to see you gone, although I think you are all talk and no walk!

Thanks for also answering the question "What does 'rename' do? Looking forward to having some fun now!

You are a god now.
How did we live without this?
Thus ends my haiku.

very nice!

any way to have my new name of a user show on the threadlists too? i don't like accidentally
seeing their own user names when browsing thread titles. 😉
