How to Block Threads and Ignore Users with Userscripts

[cocomonk22]

Here are two user scripts designed specifically for use with therpf.com. Many browsers support user scripts. Firefox users use the Greasemonkey extension, and other browsers may have scripts built in through a parameter such as --enable-user-scripts. Use Google to find out how to enable user scripts on your browser.

Block Threads
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/57153
This blocks threads by their id number.

To add ids to block, open the user script with a text viewer such as Notepad and add the numbers in this section as depicted in boldface:

function blockThreads(){
var IDS = [
/*Put threads to block here in the format 'number',
For example:
'65326',
PUT THREAD IDS TO BLOCK ON NEXT LINE*/
'12345',

];

Ignore Posts by Members
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/57154
This hides posts by members based off of the poster's name.

To add names to block, open the user script with a text viewer such as Notepad and add the names in this section as depicted in boldface:

(function (){
var blockedUsers = [
/*Put posters to block here in the format "poster name",
For example:
"Anonymous",
PUT POSTER NAMES TO BLOCK ON NEXT LINE*/
"Some User",

];

Will the Member Blocker, block even quoted post. Previous board software would, so it is possible.

Yes, in the user.js just change this:

//**** Uncomment this line to Totally Ignore posts which include quoted text from people on your Ignore List ****
//allTable.style.display="none";

To this:

//**** Uncomment this line to Totally Ignore posts which include quoted text from people on your Ignore List ****
allTable.style.display="none";

firefox

i have the greasemonkey extension too.

In the status bar, there should be a monkey icon. Right click it and then click Manage User Scripts.

If you installed one of the RPF user scripts it should be in the left column. Select the one you want to change.

Below the left column should be a check box with the word 'Enabled' next to it that should be checked, and an Edit button.

Click the Edit button and the script should come up in a text editor like Notepad. If not, it will open a search box asking what program you'd like to use to edit user scripts, so if you have Notepad you would select that in C:\Windows\notepad.exe. Once the script is opened, follow the instructions in the first post of this thread and save the file.

When I click Edit, it wants me to open a file. Any clue???

It's supposed to open the user script file. You did install one of the rpf scripts, right? When you first install a new script, a Greasemonkey Installation window pops up where you can choose install.

No, I hit install and it just installed it. Didn't ask where.

That's right, but when you hit the edit button, it should open the user script file with a text viewer like Notepad or something.

Thanks so much for doing this, but it was made clear to me that I should just ignore the thread I didn't want to read or see anymore. It was a "Silly" request. I went one better and quit coming to the site at all until today. That way I can just ignore everyone and every thread.
After being on here for 20 minutes I see I haven't missed anything.

I've missed you. Does that count?

 

[franz bolo]

No, it just opened a search box so I could choose a file. I couldn't find the file anywhere.

EDIT: Actually, I think it's asking you what program it should use to edit the userscript. In that case, browse to C:\Windows\notepad.exe to open it with Notepad.
