So looks like Greasemonkey changed the way I was supposed to save things within Firefox which prevented the KillFile from being updated. Quick fix and it looks like we are back in business :)
Here is the link to the updated script.
If you need to clear your old kill list completely just type about:config into the address bar and then seach for killfile – right click and reset that to clear your list.
Thanks to an anonymous user there is a fix for the missing Killfile menu option. I haven’t tested this personally but hopefully it address the problems people have been having since Google updated things.
Here is the link to the updated script.
There was a bug in the new script that messed things up when you drilled into a thread, Tim caught the bug and I’ve gone ahead and updated the script, so please update to Google Groups KillFile 3.5.1
So Tim has been kind enough to address a number of bugs and add some great new features to the KillFile.
When you bring up the KillFile you can now
“Click X to reanimate the dead”
“Click Y to edit the filter”
“Click Z to edit regular expressions (experts only)”
He also added “Add Address” and “Add Topic” options as well as making it update automatically after pressing ‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’
You can download the new version of the Google Groups KillFile right here. So give it a whirl and let me know how it goes.
Thanks again Tim!
Tim kindly posted a fix to a bug whereby if multiple entries in your killfile matched a post then it wouldn’t display any posts below the multiply blocked one.
You can download the updated script here Google Groups KillFile 3.4.4
I’ve addressed a couple of issues surrounding the last release and I’ve tested it against the name…@test.com type addresses in Topic & List view as well as testing a number of topics and it appears to be working correctly.
So please download the latest script Google Groups KillFile 3.4.3 and let me know how it goes. If you have any problems please let me know the URL and the name you are trying to block and I’ll look into it.
Happy Blocking :)
So after a little tinkering around I’ve come up with a script that cleans the new UI up a little, i.e it removes everything in that third column and pops the useful bits found there into the nav. Check it out and see how you like it, you can run this alongside the KillFile script for the bestest browsing experience :) Enjoy.
So I personally don’t like the new format, too much space is taken up by extraneous bits and bobs so I’m working on a version that will make things a lot cleaner. Will keep you all updated.
Sorry there was a typo in the new script, just download again from here and you should be in business.
Google switched to the beta groups format so you’ll need to update your Google KillFile script, download the latest and greatest here
