2007-11-04: CPIggy 2.1.0 has been released tonight.

CPIggy is a fully-functional ignore script for use on this BB.  As many of you know it's been a work in progress for several weeks.  Tonight it reaches what I consider "feature complete" and the only major bug has been corrected.  So tonight I'm releasing it as 2.0.0.

Having trouble? Want to help? There is a tech support/issue tracking thread in the Media Center forum:

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...ghlight=cpiggy

Features:

* Places a new item in the ChiefsPlanet main menu to launch it's configuration dialog
* Maintains a list of ignored users and performs the following for them:
  * Removes threads started by them from forum listings
  * Hides posts by them
  * Hides quotes by them in other people's posts
  * Removes comments from them in your rep screen
* Places an icon beside user names in threads that will add them to your iggy list
* Will optionally remove the two links to the Washington DC forum
* Supports update checking (both manual and automatic daily checks)
* Blocks threads based on a keyword list

1. Open your CPIggy control panel and copy down your iggy list

A Final Word (for now):

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support.  I was frankly a little surprised at how well this project was received.  There are several other features (like checking the first post of each thread and making determinations of a "spam" type score) that would be great but are simply too costly to do from the outside looking in.  If anyone has some ideas for handling that or any other features please PM me, the source code is in a Subversion repository and I would happily accept patches.  If someone is contributing I'm willing to give them write access to the repository as well.

So what's next?  Well, I'm still looking into busting a cap into that POS editor we have on here.  Due to the high volume of code that would be required and the need for a significant number of binary files it's not really feasible as a Greasemonkey script.  However, it is prime for a Firefox plugin.  On this one I don't believe it will be ChiefsPlanet specific.  I'm looking at something more generic that you could point at any  text area on any website and get a better editor.  I'll keep you informed on how that's going.

Again, thanks to everyone for using CPIggy and making my efforts worthwhile.
