LJ New Comments script

[pw201]

afuna's posting reminded me that I've been meaning to post about another Greasemonkey script for LJ.

LJ New Comments remembers which comments you've seen on entry pages, marks new comments, and helps you navigate between new comments by pressing keys. It also alters journal pages and your friends' list page so that you can see where entries have new

Comments

Great, in theory.

However, my "Edit Information" page doesn't appear to have an option to add &nc=xx links.

LJ moved it. The relevant setting is now here (thanks to rosefox's entry and Google). I'll update my entry about it.

If you don't set it then that only breaks the part where it marks numbers of new comments against entries on journal or friends pages, it'll still recognise the comments themselves on comments pages.

There is a Grasemonkey-compatible engines for IE.
For example, Reify Turnabout.

I will try to run your script on it.

The script makes extensive use of XPath to search for parts of the page. According to the Turnabout page, XPath is broken in IE, so I doubt it'll work, but I'd be interested to hear if it does.

Excellent script. It well deserves its 5 star rating.
Thanks.

Oooh, I never thought of that modification before.
