GP Forums Greasemonkey scripts

Installing scripts

Create a file called xxx.user.js - the xxx is unimportant, the .user.js is what denotes the file as a Greasemonkey script.
Copy and paste the script into that file
Navigate to wherever you created xxx.user.js, at this point, Greasemonkey will prompt you to install it.

A Greasemonkey script to completely remove all trace of ignored posts on the Gameplanet forums.
