Slashdot Live Comment Tree: The Second Coming?
Slashdot announced yesterday that they have finally overhauled the site’s HTML code. This is undoubtedly long overdue, but it does mean that my Greasemonkey script Slashdot Live Comment Tree no longer works, since it’s tied to the old HTML format.
I’m afraid that I really don’t have time to update the script right now. We’ve in crunch mode with AllPeers, and I’m flying to the States at the end of next week for the Web 2.0 Conference (where I’ll be presenting AllPeers at the LaunchPad session on Wednesday).
It’d be tremendously cool if someone could take a crack at this. I get the impression that the script is used by a fair number of people (it’s been downloaded a few thousand times), so this is your chance to improve the life of hoardes of Slashdotters, see your name in lights, hear the adoring cheers of the thronging masses… or, at very least, to earn my heartfelt gratitude.

Not really related to the article, but I cant find another way to contact you, Your greasemonkey script: Slashdot live comment tree, has been broken by a major change in slashcode. it’s a shame as it was a really usefull one. My knowledge of javaScript and slashcode isn’t good enough to fix it, so if you have time it’s somthing to do
Sorry if this should go somwhere else.

Just thought you would like to know that there’s another script that, while it has less functionality, seems to work with the new Slashcode. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1817

Note that Valentin Laube has created a script that works with the new Slashcode. Thanks, Valentin!
