I don't like the new profile page even one bit, so I wrote a script to reset it.  So far as I've tested, it works in all five LJ themes, using Firefox 3 on Windows Vista and XP ( Read more... )

Thank you so much! This works in Opera too, when used with ciaran_h's Greasemonkey adapter for Opera.

I am so happy right now. :)

It's not mine - I didn't make that Emulate GM Functions script. I just know that it's needed for some things.

Also, this script doesn't use any of the functions that the script emulates, so it'll work perfectly fine even without that.

Ah, my bad. Sorry.

I tried this and it didn't change the look of my profile at all. I'm using Firefox 3.0.4, Windows XP, and the Dystopia style. I had to install Greasemonkey first, but it installed fine with no complaints from Firefox. Let me know if you'd like a screenshot.

Pardon the obvious questions, I just want to be clear.  You have GM installed, installed the script, and no change?

Weird.  Go to Tools > Error Console, choose Clear if there's anything there, then refresh or load a profile page (any).  What comes up in the Error section of the Error Console, if anything?

You have GM installed, installed the script, and no change?Yep, just installed GM and then the script. The JavaScript came up when I hadn't installed it yet, so I knew it wouldn't work yet ( ... )

Yeah, warnings are mostly because LJ doesn't use code as strictly as Error Console would like.  The 'strong' bit is interesting, though; that's mine, there.  What profile page are you viewing when this fails?

[eta] Also, at the top of the Error Console, there should be buttons: All, Errors, Warnings, Messages, Clear.  If you click on Errors (frex), that whittles it down a bit.

I can confirm that if you replace "document.getElementsByClassName" with "getElementsByClassName" and add the ultimate GetElementsByClassName into the code, this script works on Firefox 2.0.0.17 and probably other 2.0.0.x versions as well.

Maybe you could make available a version like this for Firefox 2? Everything seems to work fine as far as I can tell.

Well, almost. On http://community.livejournal.com/privchange/profile?mode=full on Firefox 2, the community name doesn't show up in the User: bit at the top, just the community icon and the thumbs up icon.

[edit: Hmm, actually, the username doesn't show up anywhere. Going to investigate now.]
[edit 2: Found the problem, it's due to another script I have. Not your fault!]

I'm not getting the Name: Section to turn up at all, nor the Website: Link either, and I see this comment, and I was wondering what other script you're running that it does that? Because I'd like to be able to see the names and the website links in the profile so if I can fix it I'd like to.

I cannot get this to work, in FF 2.0.0.18.  I followed your directions (putting the ultimate codeblock where the function used to be), and Error Console still admonishes me that it's not a function.

Mnh.  *tinkers*

Just wanted to say OMG THANK YOU for putting this together, and that I've not only told my flist but also put a great big link to this page in my bio for random passers-by. There's definitely a lot of demand for this script out there, so I figure the more people who know about it, the better. :) Thanks again!
