TyCam: I tried your Add-On and it only ignored the first post by a user on a given page. Also, how do you handle it if someone visits multiple boards that have users with identical user names?

First, let me say that it's a pleasure to meet you (cyberly). Your extension has actually taught me quite a bit.

Secondly, it's quite emberassing that you caught that. I was missing a single '.'
One single period that stopped my extension from ignoring people's posts properly. It's fixed now in the latest update (0.941).
This is why it's not ver 1.00 yet.

Sadly, right now it will ignore people on multiple boards if they share the same name. I've been wrestling with performance already as I have met some people with dozens of people in their ignore list. Once it starts getting high enough, it starts lagging the browser on load.

So I have yet to determine exactly how I'm going to increase the amount of information for it to parse (board name + user name) without adding to the problem at the same time.

I understand if you've put this stuff behind you, but if you'd be interested, you can have a peak at the meat of my extension in this file:

I'm hoping to clean up the preferences screen (put into tabs), and to add context menus (if I can) before releasing it out of beta.
