userscripts favourites

By znerp Last update Oct 17, 2008 — Installed 2,165 times.
Allows users to store their favourite scripts on userscripts.org. Favourite scripts can be viewed in a table.

This script has no reviews.

Clickable images to add/remove favourites next to image titles. Link placed on the front page and on your user page (http://userscripts.org/users/me) to go to favourite script table display.

This script is ideal for watching scripts that you're interested in for new comments or updates.

Note that favourites script table can be bookmarked (link - http://userscripts.org/users/me#favourites )

UPDATE: The main functionality of this script has now been implemented into userscripts.org, making this somewhat deprecated. However, I recommend using this script to save favourites if you don't want other people seeing what you have favourited.

Issues and Freatures of the Script

  • This script will only remember your favourite scripts for the machine that you're using, but won't work across computers.
  • Americans may be confused by British spelling of 'favourite'
  • Table borders can disappear when removing scripts directly from the favourites table.
  • Due to the way it checks for new comments and updates, the favourites table takes ages to load.
