Well, how is that an incentive for me? Sounds like a great incentive for you to use it.

an incentive to add awesome functionality and impress us with your skillz

like having a trackback to photos in a user's album that would show what posts had those images imbedded in them?

I don't know if I'd go that far, but it would be nice to be able to provide features for Premium users and moderators as well.

I remembered seeing this thread going for a while, but I was never into gr3as3m0nk3y.

Now, however, it just so happens to be at the top of my tinker list... as part of that tinkering, I will be using your script as one of my case studies! OMG OMG OMG!!1

Just so you know.

PS COME SEE ME.

when i made the tww block user plugin (just another greasemonkey script) i had no idea what the fuck I was doing.
this shit is getting me excited


and if it makes you feel any better, johnboy, user blocking could be considered a necessity in lieu of effective moderation.

just an FYI, soon Chrome users will need to install Tampermonkey to use this script; drag-and-drop will no longer be an option: http://blog.chromium.org/2013/11/protecting-windows-users-from-malicious.html

I just read the stupidest fucking post in sports talk, and when I looked at the user, it was face. I forgot to load the Better Wolf Web on my new machine. Problem has been resolved.

Thank god for this script.

I found FroshKiller made a GitHub project for his UserScript about 2 and a half years ago: https://github.com/FroshKiller/Better-Wolf-Web

I'm forking it and adding the same improvements that I had toyed around with earlier, except that MySpace video embedding, because changes to MySpace made that fail to work; it will be available here: https://github.com/lewisje/Better-Wolf-Web

IDK whether the OP is still paying attention to that account, but when I think my fork is good I'll make a pull request.

Well, enjoy. I abandoned GitHub because it was overkill for this and slowed me down: message_topic.aspx?topic=623177&page=1#15797049

I think this was the last good version I'd posted: http://jlhamilt.freeshell.org/bww2/better_wolf_web.user.js

NB I don't think the NSFW tagging works anymore, because I don't think the database is online. I kinda walked away from it.

whatever happened with this (besides the slow death of TWW)?

I'd just love a dark mode if that's possible

I stopped working on it because I was led to believe there were changes coming for the site years ago. They never materialized. Since then, I have not kept up with any changes in how user scripts are implemented, so it wouldn't surprise me if the script just doesn't work at all anymore.

All right, so promising nothing here, but I've revisited this. I've spent a little time building a Firefox extension to bring the big three features back in some form: user blocking, NSFW protection, and conversion of media links (especially YouTube links) to embedded media controls.

It wasn't that bad. I don't think I'll be bringing back the web services for voting on threads, etc. since maybe five people would actually use the extension, though.

If I get to a point where I'm satisfied with the functionality, I will look into packaging the extension and submitting it to Mozilla's add-ons site.

Is there a feature besides the three I mentioned that would be a deal-breaker for anyone? Note that I don't care if using Firefox is a deal-breaker for you. Maybe it will be coincidentally usable with Chrome.

Here is the Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/better-wolf-web

The listing isn't pretty, but it does what it says on the tin. If you want to block a user, make sure you check those settings on the preferences page (which also shows after installing), then click the "Block this user" link added to the user profile screen on the site just like the old Greasemonkey script.

I will probably add a screen for managing your blocked users so you don't have to go find the motherfuckers to unblock them if you decide you want to unblock them, but let's be real: You're all going to block the same three people and never unblock them again, so whatever.
