    FfVb - Firefox VBulletin extension update (say goodbye to contest threads)

    Want to ignore a thread but not necessarily the person who made the thread??

    No problem. The latest (beta) update to my extension will replace those useless status icons on the left of each thread with a checkbox.

    Check the box and that thread disappears. And stays disappeared.
    Say goodbye to contest threads or any other threads that you don't want to see.

              What more do I have to add to get you to switch to FF?

                  In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                      Hmm.. yeah, FF 3 doesn't like it if it's not secure and I don't have a secure server handy....
                      I'm trying to work around that with some hash/encryption stuff. Hopefully I can get that working for ya.

                              I would like a feature that allows me to ignore a person and also ignore their post if anyone quotes them. The ignore feature on this site and in fact all message boards are useless because even if you have someone on ignore, some or many idiots will quote the retard and you are forced to see what that retard posted. Ignore should mean ignore. Quite simple. So make that kind of extention.

                                      Good idea. Done

                                      Latest feature (ver 0.45):
                                      - Will strip ignored people's QUOTES from other people's posts.

                                                      Nope. I upgraded as soon as I saw you made the new feature. This is fantastic. His idiocy is gone forever.... WHEEEE!!

                                                          LOVE it

                                                          Now does this plugin also overwrite refcodes and hijack cookies?

                                                                                                                              You're the first to mention this... I can still see images.

                                                                                                                              Try uninstalling the extension and see if the images return. If so, I'll take a closer look into the code.

                                                                                                                                  You're the first to mention this... I can still see images.

                                                                                                                                  Try uninstalling the extension and see if the images return. If so, I'll take a closer look into the code.
