I've released a new version of the extension that works with the new forum software. The only bit of existing functionality missing is the ability to mute quotes but with the collapsed threads it's probably not as big a deal. Will be difficult to implement as people can change their names now and there is now identifier in the posts...

You'll also have to remove all your existing users and threads from your config and re-mute them as the ids have all changed.

Apart from that it's all working. You can grab the release from here.

Small update to the extension (v 0.6).

1. The "Show/Hide Mute buttons" button is now next to the Post Reply button and styled the same as other buttons on the new site
2. Personally not a huge fan of the circle avatars so you can turn that off in the extension. You can also make the avatars (the larger version in posts) whatever size you like.

More than a few of us have gotten sick and tired of the same multis and trolls derailing threads and utilising their "free speech". I generally enjoy this place so here is my gift to you...

442 Muter is a quick and dirty extension for Google Chrome that will remove threads and posts from users that you don't want to hear from. So this:

becomes this:


Ahh zen :lol:

As an added bonus it includes a usability fix to the youtube player so you get the proper widescreen player that can be made full screen without having to visit the youtube site.

The project is open source and available on Github so if you're a coder and want to improve it, send me a pull request. There's heaps of things it could do to make it easier and nicer but I'm pretty busy and probably won't update it often myself if at all.

Feel free to post questions or feedback. Of course if I've muted you I probably won't respond :lol:

All previous releases available here

Have actually updated this extension a couple of times since I last posted in here. It's now up to version 0.4. Includes new muting functionality and a usability fix to the youtube player :)

New Features:
1. You can now mute entire threads from the forum thread listing pages. They get moved to the bottom of the page that they appear on so you barely notice them.
2. Mute icons are now hidden by default but can be shown by click on the "Show mute buttons" links at the top and bottom of pages.

3. You can mute posts that quote a user that you have muted.
4. Ability to change the youtube player so that it uses the modern widescreen player. Includes a setting to change the size of the player in the post and the ability to fullscreen the video on the page.

So this

becomes


5. New slightly better looking options page to make all this functionality properly configurable.
