Hi Andrew, yeah it does a startswith match (I forget why) I’ll see if I can change this though.

I was having problems with lots of posts being hidden in otherwise sensible threads wehn I noticed that one of the entries in my kill list was “d”. Just “d”, nothing more. I removed it and they all came back, and all the posters had “d” in their names.

Does the script do partial matching rather than full matching of names?

Damian,

It looks to me like if the most recent post is by someone on the kill list, the thread is blocked.

What I was asking about is the possibility of blocking the entire thread if it’s started by someone on the kill list. It will do that now but only until someone else posts to that thread.

Yes, I believe that I am.

The thread still shows minus the first post (which is by the person on my kill list).

It should be doing that by default John, sure you are using the latest version?

A great tool. Is it possible to block an entire thread started by someone in your kill file and not just their post.

Hi Damian
Thank you for your quick reaction! I downloaded your update but it still doesn’t work here, stop/restart the monkey didn’t help, restart of Firefox and log-out/log-in didn’t help. Is there another trick :)
