RITFAB: Remove Ignored Threads From "Any" Browse on Ravelry.com

This is a pet peeve of mine on ravelry.com. When browsing forums, you have 4 options. You can look at only New threads (whose you haven't read at all), Watched threads (meaning you have set the watch flag on that thread), Ignored threads (these threads disappear from regular forums reading when set), or Any (all threads regardless of status).

Now, I'm of the opinion ignored threads should not show up under Any browse. When I'm browsing Any I do not want to see ignored threads. I ignored them for a reason (good, bad, silly). Particularly as you can already specifically look at ignored threads whenever you want.

They just shouldn't be in the Any browse. So there!


I present the Ravelry "remove ignored threads from Any browse" script.

Version 2 of this script will append the next page to the current page as you scroll down. Also known as auto-paging.

Second Greasemonkey script for ravelry.com

The post on ravelry.com that starts all this was about someone wanting to hide the "Fave Curse Word" box on our profiles (you have to have a ravelry account to see the thread).

I personally enjoy having it, but it gave me a reason to start looking into script writing.

Greasemonkey script for ravelry.com

Casey, the code god of ravelry, added project tabs. Which I love. Which I've made many of.

Sadly, the tabs and the text at the top of the project page are trying to be in the same space.

Time to delve into greasemonkey. Wrote a script the moves the tabs/thumbnails/sidebar down a smudge.

Happy Presidential Upgrade Day

Thank you for your upgrade to POTUS v44.

Our delivery tracking system indicates that your upgrade should arrive today.

We wish you all the best for your coming years with this enhanced version. We hope that you will be discovering additional rich features and robustness throughout the coming years.

Please remember not to hold back on your expectations for this version because of your experience with previous versions. POTUS v44 was redesigned from the bottom up, and will reach its fullest potential when charged from below. Its new inner growth module can respond to input in ways the previous version could not-- the more you fuel it and the more you demand of it, the better it can perform.

But for today, just install POTUS v44, let it activate its bundled peripherals, and enjoy the sparkle as it re-energizes the country.

Joyous inaugural hugs to all,
John & Tibbi

Round 2 scarf for group26 on ravelry

I am so happy about this one. We are doing only plant fibers. I used
South West Trading Company Phoenix yarn, in purple and green. The pattern is "Dovetail Strips". The one side is a little odd. I'm not that great yet carrying yarn yet.
