118.208.34.8: /* Ideas */

'''[http://www.greasespot.net/ Greasemonkey]''' is an extension for the Firefox browser that makes it easy to run pieces of JavaScript code.

==Ideas==
* '''Combine existing extensions into one mega extension'''
** Turn it into a FF extension of its own
* Quote box with link to original post and/or original author profile with absolute/relative date
* Also listed was my attempts at copying other forums quoting style. It visually separates the quotes as well as providing a link back to the original post. In intense arguments this would help bystanders understand the arguments as well as making sure that no-one gets misquoted, whether accidentally or maliciously.
* Quick reply box
** self-explanatory.
* Signature for each post
** Allows to have html in it. Maybe links for pictures and images.
* Count the number of posters and authors in a thread when in page similar to google search results. Show like reference statistic at top of thread. This will help when referencing external threads to people know it's valuable.
* Spoiler/Summary Tag
** Some sort of replacement for the spoiler/summary tag would be good as well. That is a way for someone to add lots of detail without overloading or boring people. I note some profiles have inline frames. Perhaps this could be an option? In the [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=7621&post=3894215#post4061253 thread mentioned] above I made a start of exploring what is possible with the allowed style attribute.
* Use ''alt''/''title'' attribute for glossary/more information
** Also please add an option to add ''title'' or ''alt'' attributes to selected words automatically or on a button click so a text would pop-up with an explanation when you roll the mouse over it. As Margaret pointed out we can get quite technical at times and this would help newbie's decipher our text. An [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=1327&post=4321903#post4331773 example] here where I explain the term IANAL - I am not a lawyer.
* For new members alter the contact us page to have a search box which upon text being enter dynamically changes the page to get search results.
** If this is installed on a host computer then for any surfers there it will automatically be entered.
** Example: http://www.meetup.com/help/ has a drop down box which dynamically changes according to the text.
* ''please add more''
