While coding up my own userscript for a quick reply mod, i googled for a little help on a javascript function, but what I found was basically an already working script.
Why try and reinvent the wheel?
I tested this and it seems to work so far. You will need
Firefox with the
Greasemonkey addon installed. You can get greasemonkey here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
Once you have greasemonkey, you can install this guy's script from here

What is this greasemonkey, and why are there so many subversions?
Ehh I looked into it for like 3 minutes. I'm not sure if it's worth it to slow down my already slow firefox. (IE FTW!!!! (you would have never of caught me saying that a year ago))

Dolfan - greasemonkey makes it so you can put your own javascript onto any webpage. And to be honest, it would be one of the 3 essential addons i would ever recommend. Check out some of the scripts you can load in greasemonkey that do different things to popular websites:

And for what its worth, in my opinion, it does no noticeable slowdown of the fox. Its the scripts that can... if ya try to load a huge javascript file on every page of a website, its going to get bogged down. (This quick reply script only loads on the viewtopic.php page and is just a small code snippet anyways, so it does nothing to the speed of loading the page)

Love it.
I was always part of the "I don't need Greasemonkey" crowd for performance reasons, but this is minimal.

So this isn't very scientific but..
Opened a blank tab with greasemonkey and I was getting around 50MB
Did it without and I'm getting 60-70MB.
For what its worth...

but with the greasemonkey…? I'll see what I can do.
I'm probably the least techy person on this board.
oh hey, it worked! now I just need to get used to using firefox again.
