SU About Enhancements is a Greasemonkey userscript that modifies About pages, adding several new features.

Note that this script downloads the Group page each time you visit an About page. If you are on a slow connection, the About page may take some time to load. The script will post a loading message while downloading the groups.

Features include:
  • Displays all subscribed groups, not just 15 most recently active.
  • Sorts groups and "Things I like" alphabetically.
  • Replaces the full-size avatar with a link (if needed).
  • Counts the number of items in each list.
  • Moves the number of subscribers for each item to a tooltip.
  • Compares all items to another stumbler's stored data.
  • Provides links to Wikipedia, Discogs, Amazon and IMDb for list items.

I actually don't like the fact it hides the fullsize avatar. Fortunately, the functionality is easy to remove so I can enjoy the rest.

4: I considered making that feature easy to disable. In future versions I'll put an on/off variable near the top of the script so you don't have to delete any code. Personally, I like not having to scroll down and it's just one click to display the avatar.

Thanks for trying it.

They are to me:



Keep in mind that these list are "float" sorted, meaning you read across first, then down. That's very difficult to change (unless someone knows a trick) so we just have to live with it.

Do you see any errors? Does the rest of the script work for you?
