You'd have better luck getting PB itself to implement that.

And how would one suggest I go about asking/telling/suggesting it to them?
Unless someone else can do it

Support board. they probably aren't gonna add it to v4.5 though.

You can suggest stuff via the Support board?

Chris meant like an actual feature request.

Yeah, a code request wouldn't really help.
I really doubt Chris would add a code made by someone else, on here, SZ.

I also laughed out loud...






...LOL

I just wrote a greasemonkey script to do this. However, I currently don't have a host available, so here is the code XD

Maybe chris will be nice enough to host it xP

}
}
}
}

var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for(i=0;i<images.length;i++){
if(images[i].title=="Insert List"){
images[i].addEventListener('click',listFunction,false);
images[i].parentNode.href = "javascript: void('0')";
break;
}
}
}


ps: if you don't use firefox, but you use chrome, grease monkey scripts will also work in chrome.

Today is mine and your unlucky day, because I use Opera.

my.opera.com/Contrid/blog/2007/02/11/how-to-greasemonkey-in-opera

Problem solved

Right I think I'm just retarded but, I don't see where it is etc.
I saved that in a notepad file (nto sure if you're meant to?) and named it NAME.user.js, stuck that in a folder and in the Tools ? preferences > etc for Opera, I chose that folder for the directory. If that's all correct, where should the script be located in Opera?

I've most likely done all of it wrong, but I have no clue so it was all guess work

I just followed the same set of instructions on my opera, and the script works

to test, to to reply, make like 3 lines of text, highlight, and click the list button

should work if you did it right

note: You don't have to activate the script or anything. It just worked as soon as you install it
