    Another quick update.... well, 2 actually.

    First of all, I fixed a glitch where the bottom table, including new thread, page numbers and quick reply would be gone if the ignore list was empty.
    Huge thanks to uno for catching that.

    Secondly, I added a sub menu that's fixed to the bottom of the browser. Be default, it's off.
    But if you'd like to have handy access to your User CP, New Thread and New Reply links, go to the options/preferences and check the box and presto, you get a small, handy menu no matter where in the thread or forum display you are.

    This is ver 0.61.

        I got .60 to install but you posted

        "Go to the user ignore list in VB and click on the "Import Ignore List to Extension" button and your vbulletin list will be magically imported into the extension for you."

        Where is the ""Import Ignore List to Extension"" button at?

                Are there still boards using that version?
                A lot of changes were made to vbulletin for 3.7... it sucks but I can't spend time making it work for older versions

                  If you have a user in your ignore list will this extension also ignore their threads, as well as posts? I've begged for that feature.

                  BTW, I read the thread and did not pick up on that feature so if I missed it I apologize.

                  Nice work...

                    The latest version is 3.6.9 , the underlying code shows GFY as 3.6.7 which may or may not be accurate.

                      Yes, it will remove their threads, posts and quotes entirely.

                        You are correct, 3.6.9 is the latest. 3.7 is the one I used to start with (the actual vbulletin site) and then came back to GFY and a few other boards to make sure it worked with them.

                        Can you email me the board url that is 3.6.8 and doesn't work with my extention?

                        thanks.

                              Ok, I see what it is. It's not that they're using 3.6.8, it's the file naming format they use.
                              Much like DamageX's board.

                              Having my plug recognize a vbulletin site without conventional file names (forumdisplay.php, showthread.php) is in my to do list, it's just not as easy as you'd think, since every board modifies their templates heavily.

                                So, I see.
                                Whatever the case it's still a kickass add-on for the vast majority of vB sites.

                                  Thank you and... with that brings another wish fulfilled and another update.

                                    This sounds like a bit of work for something that is only mildly useful (I mean to code this thing)... but I guess if you have ton of free time to kill then that's great

                                      Not all that bad actually. Each update has been 30 mins or so tops. Hense some of my replies to people coming in so quickly.

                                      It's just your basic javascript DOM manipulation of the HTML source. Find a common element, work off that and you're good to go.

                                      Although, I'm sure that more involved extensions are a lot more complicated. I'm not ready for those yet.

                                        The single best feature?

                                        Since it's a browser directive the site content is filtered without the need for the user to be logged in.
