I dont think the mods (or I, for that matter) want the links public until it’s done and mod-approved. While it’s in development, it’s easier when there’s a small group of people using it, rather than having to account for the world-at-large. I’m not super concerned about it, but maybe a mod can baleet those links so I wont have to rename files.

My biggest concern is having a bunch of people running around with a painfully outdated version because they don’t know enough to keep the thing updated, and I later find some gigantic bug or security hole that sends your credit card numbers to nigeria.

Chrome does support userscripts, but this script relies on some greasemonkey-only features. There may be a way around this, I’ll look into it during my next lull. I’m not without motivation; Chrome is my default browser now, I just use FF for sites that I cant survive on without extensions or greasemonkey scripts. Like… this one.
