Hint
In case anyone else missed the obvious (just like I did): before you click on "install script now", you do need to install Greasemonkey... Go to http://www.greasespot.net/
It works fine anyway! Just takes a while to load the 300+ comments for the last item :-)

Thank You!!!!
There is a god....LOL
-
Does it work w/ IE
or only w/ FireFox?
-
Thanks
Thanks re: downloading Greasemonkey first. I knew it had to be something easy like that.
-
Great Idea
But now that I've installed the script, if money starts disappearing from my bank account, I'll know who to come after.
-
Thanks!
Another thanks for the Greasemonkey tip... Couldn't figure out why when I hit the install button it was taking me to the Javascript code instead!
-
thanks for the hint, Rob
Never underestimate my ability to miss the obvious. I'm off to get a greasemonkey.
-
Very nice script....
and thanks to the author. It is much more code than I expected.
-
Someone luvs you.
They really do.
-
Thank you and thank you, too
Thanks for the tip, Rob and thank you to the readers who wrote the script!
-
Face it, Glenn!
Your loyal readers love you....
and my personal thanks to them for taking such good care of you and the rest of us!

tastes differ
To each their own I guess, I prefer the page by page format because I can tell where I left off in reading the comments previously, plus if I want to find a letter then knowing the page it is on is better than scrolling the whole set of comments. I'm a paid subscriber though, so I don't have to deal with ads so perhaps that is the issue for some.
Either way, I'm glad everyone has the choices they desire now!

Windows only?
Is Greasemonkey a Windows ap? Mac OS X doesn't recognize it.
OK....hmmmm.....I guess I just answered my own question! I am so brilliant.

What About Opera
Is it compatible with Opera?

use your clout?
Mac and Safari user here.
Any chance you could use your new clout with Salon to get THEM to offer us the one page option? As one of those radio buttons at the top of the feedback page?
I don't read comments to your posts at all anymore, whereas I used to read them about half of the time.
While you're at it, could we subscribers have an option to disable Auto-Refreshment? I would prefer to keep your page open at all times, and refresh when I need to, but my limited bandwidth requires me to close your page when I'm not "using" it.
(I.e., if I exceed my daily bandwidth allowance, I lose access for the rest of the day, so auto-refresh is a disaster for me.)
I'm asking for your clout here because Salon has ignored mine (haha) on matters like this. I love Salon to the bottom of my heart, but some of their policies are really inconsiderate (to these of us who happily pay to support).
Keep up your good work, everyone.

Works in OS X for me
Installed Greasemonkey and the script on OSX 10.28 in Firefox 1.5.10 and it works fine. May not have been updated for later versions.
-
Mac OS X
I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.8. I installed GreaseMonkey, then the script, and it works wonderfully.
Thanks to the script-writer(s). This is great!

You can also use . . .
If you're using FireFox you can also use an extension called "Repagination" found at
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2099/
You don't need to install Greasemonkey (which may be overkill), and it will work for any site.
With this extension, you right-click a next-page link, and you can choose whether you want to see the next 5, 10, 15 etc pages or all at once.

Troll filter
I don't recall the directions, but greasemonkey was recommended by numerous folks in comments at Balloon Juice some months back, and several techno-geeks said it had a plug in that allows a right click feature to add names to a kill filter -- which is all they wanted there.
I just installed the one-page-for-Salon greasemonkey which is working fine -- I use Firefox -- but don't see anything when I right click that to my uninitiated mind would suggest a kill filter, but FWIW I know others have said it exists. Maybe some additional download is necessary, tho.

Kill Buttons
Mona: it had a plug in that allows a right click feature to add names to a kill filter -- which is all they wanted there.
I used it at UT and there was a kill/unkill button by every name for each post. If you clicked that button next to, say, "David," all of David's posts would disappear and be replaced by a phrase that said something like "Post by David blocked. Unkill" Then you could click that "Unkill" button to see them again. I loved this feature, but I did find that all "Davids" would be blocked on any blog I went to where Greasemonkey worked, whether or not it was the "David" I'd blocked in the first place. That was easy to fix, though, and worth it.
At any rate, I have a Mac and OS X.something and this script seems to be working fine, and I don't see "kill" buttons. Perhaps that's next? Although, there's been far less need for that here on Salon, at least for me.

Firefox
Ahhaaa, Firefox. That's why it didn't work for me.
