The anandtech greasemonkey script still lets you block threads by specific users.

[notfred]

You can get the script here (requires firefox)

Here's instructions to configure the script to block threads by MISTERTFOO:

Make sure you have the latest version of greasemonkey installed. Save the script to your hard drive, and open it with notepad.

Look for the lines that look like this:
// add any users that you don't want to be dispalyed (removes threads, but not individual posts)
var removeUsers = new Array("myjaja", "otheruser");

Change the line that says:
var removeUsers = new Array("myjaja", "otheruser");

to say:
var removeUsers = new Array("myjaja", "otheruser", "MISTERTFOO");


You can add as many names as you like in this fashion. Make sure you put them in quotes, with commas between them.

After making changes, save the script, open it in firefox, and go to "tools" > "install user script".

After you have installed it, you can make changes (such as adding more blocked users, or unblocking users) by going to "tools" > "manage user scripts" and then selecting the AT script and pressing the "edit" button.

I realize it's not a super user-friendly configuration, but it only takes a couple minutes, and once you've set it up, you can make changes in just a few seconds.

PM me or post in this thread if you have problems setting it up.

Personally, I have these names blocked:
myjaja, GregBil, Mandy, notfrred, MISTERTFOO

var removeUsers = new Array("notfred", "notfred", "notfred");

Would repeating the name do anything?

Hmm...your script makes my AT theme weird.

Make the script take slightly longer to run, since it tries to remove my threads three times.

It removes a lot of stuff that I find is useless and just causes clutter. You can turn that off and set it back to normal by editing the script and changing these lines:

var removeHead = true;
var removeFooter = true;
var removeSideBar = true;
var removeStickies = true;

so they end with " = false;" instead of " = true;"

I think it's because I have a lot of Private Messages, which is causing the forums to go down.

Ah, yeah, that's probably it. If you enable the sidebar, the private message list will be moved back to the sidebar. I don't typically have more than one or two new PMs at a time, so it's fine for me at the top of the page.

You can change removeSideBar to false, if you like.

Nice, it's working now.
