Greasemonkey script to avoid spoiler threads

[Viqsi]

Does anyone have a copy of this? The link doesn't work anymore.

Wow, I'd forgotten I helped work on this until I suddenly got an email notification that this thread was replied to...

The version I'd made available and linked to later in this thread ( https://nwcs.com/~jvc/gaming/rb/newstyle...er.user.js ) is still out there. No idea if it still works, though, I haven't been using it lately. (Civ5 ruined everything for me. )

Thank you!

still doesnt work

I reinstalled it, and it's working again for me now.

This had been working for me on Chrome, now it's suddenly not (as of yesterday?), both on Windows 7 and Windows 10. Stop me before I click on a spoiler thread again!

Tried installing it, but I don't see any new buttons appear. I disabled all cookie/content blockers I have installed, but to no avail.

Apparently the old script wouldn't run because it used a prefix of http: instead of https: (thanks, Brick!). Here's a modified script that seems to be working for me:
