Greasemonkey script: Flickr Discussion Images

Joel Carranza has written a nice little Greasemonkey script, Flickr Discussion Images, that allows you to view all the images in a Flickr group discussion thread—it's perfect for browsing through threads in groups like Utata where the pictures often are the thread. It adds three links underneath the main post, which allow you to switch easily between the normal full view, images only, or image thumbnails only.

Escape Entities Update

I've just fixed a minor bug in my Escape Entities Greasemonkey script that caused the page to jump back to the top of the document when used. You can get the updated version here.

Escape Entities

When you post to groups such as Flickr, or to blogs using tools such as Movable Type, you are often free to use a selection of HTML tags. This is very handy for adding links, images and basic formatting, but it comes with a downside—if you ever want to write an HTML snippet that someone can read, perhaps in order to allow them to cut and paste it, you have to manually escape the different HTML entities. < becomes &lt;, > becomes &gt;, & becomes &amp; and " becomes &quot;

To make life easier, I've written a Greasemonkey script that attaches itself to any <textarea> elements on the page and provides a handy icon that when clicked on converts any special characters into their corresponding entities.

How Interesting am I?

Have you ever wondered just how interesting your Flickr photos are relative to each other? I've written a new Greasemonkey script to tell you just that. When installed, you will see an additional link on your Flickr photo pages displayed in the Additional Information section.
