And this was part of the distraction. It's all CSS so you can still have JavaScript turned off for speed.
It's not quite ready for prime time, either. Nor is the one I may end up using (green on black similar to the old monochrome monitors).
Anybody know of any threads with multiple embedded quotes? I can only find some with three levels, but the system supports up to four by default. Just thinking about alternate colors for the quotes.
well i didn't get to post it last night with a writeup and all like i wanted. went to see 'night at the museum: battle of the smithsonian' with the family instead. 
so for those of you who are familiar with it and have wanted it for a while (ramon! 
) here's the script. copy this text, save it in a file called: afPlonkJive.user.js and load that into greasemonkey (you can follow the instructions for loading on this page: http://www.milbut.org/afPlonk.html including the instructions on how to edit the script to place the names in that you want to plonk (replace the names in the array under the comment "// array of names to plonk"). i still have hte issue of not being able to grab names with non-english characters (again, ramon! ) but that can wait a bit... otherwise it yanks the entire message from the users in the list.
code follows (hope this works):

}
return; good luck, dave
It works! eventually, it's rather slow, but this is on my rather anemic work PC, so other's results may vary
The one thing that doesn't work is the link to your instrucion page.

Too true. I was testing on the next to the last page of a thread, and it took about 30 seconds for the page to load, once the pageloaded the script ran fine.
Thanks again.
