this will insert the current song playing on TWWradio between the TWW logo and either the chatterbox or the banner ad. it will update automatically without having to refresh the page.

it does not remove anything, it merely takes advantage of the whitespace between the two.

works for both premies and non-premies.





for this, you need the following:


  1. firefox. click here to download.

  2. greasemonkey. click here to install.



once you have both of those, click below:

click here to install.


reload the tww page you were on.

voila!



i love greasemonkey.

props go out to DirtyMonkey for the original idea to do this

reload it

i shortened it a bit

it should only be a problem if you're running at a resolution of 1024x768 or below (which you shouldn't be doing anyway since it sucks)

this mod makes the page "wider" by 300 pixels. the narrowest the page can be is 1073 pixels with this mod in place, as opposed to 773 pixels without.

Works fine for me. You should make it actually link to the station.

Also it messes up the thread preview in the post reply frame.

You can fix it later, it's not a big deal

the problem where it messed up the thread preview frame on the Reply To Topc page has been fixed

if you already installed it, go to tools > greasemonkey > manage user scripts and uninstall it

then reinstall it using the link in the first post.


if anyone else runs in to any other problems, let me know.

can you give it a background or some other design so it will stand out more?

simply for looks

if you guys bothered to install grease monkey, you may also want to check out some scripts i wrote to do things such as:

insertAtCursor - puts smileys, quotes, etc. where your cursor is.

shortenLongLinks - if someone posts a super long link, it limits the text displayed to 80 characters and then adds an ellipsis. ideally this prevents horizontal scrolling.

scaleImages - when OPIIE posts super huge photos of fancy cars, this script also prevents horizontal scrolling. it does not do a fantastic job (ridgidness), but you can still view the image if you want.

uniLink - automatically converts links to tww pages to /message_topic.aspx... instead of

http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx.
please note i did this BEFORE the owner fix, which apparently doesn't work very well. this script should not cause problems with the regular site fix.

see this thread for more info: /message_topic.aspx?topic=513897

I'm running 1024x768 on my laptop and it's working fine.


ha, with adblock on it displays perfectly but when I turn it off, there's the big ass white block running down the right side. So use adblock.

yeah, lawl, it's because there's a colspan tag in the td defining the text at the bottom

it would be more trouble than it's worth to fix - i already tried

heh, yeah, sorry about that - i misjudged the container the ad was in. i'll fix it later.

in the meantime, it's working for premies and people using adblock.
