Slashdot Expandable Comment Tree

This script is intended to make reading of Slashdot discussions more convenient. It allows the expanding and collapsing of any comments and comment threads on a page. Comments not on the original page can also be expanded, they are loaded from the server.

Update: The new discussion system renders this script obsolete. It remains here for reference.

This script works on the Mozilla Firefox web browser with the Greasemonkey extension.

When you have Greasemonkey installed, open the script below to install it.

The following version of the script if for the Opera web browser. It works the same as the one above, except that it doesn't use XPath, which version 8 of Opera doesn't support. This version also works on Firefox, but appears to be slightly slower.

See the top of the script for more information.

This script is also hosted over on Userscripts.org, where you can comment or rate it.
