Hooray! The ?nc=xxx flags are back! My ultra-efficient friends list reading works again!

Huh. So it is. That's random.

No, no, that's how "users report bug" is *supposed* to work. Admittedly, it works like that much less often than one would like, so maybe there's still some randomness involved...

So show us these scripts?

Livejournal Reading for the Lazy

(Because "lazy" and "efficient" are synergistic...)

I've put them in http://web.mit.edu/boojum/Public/gm

lj_new_comments is not written by me, and is available from the general greasemonkey archive.

opennewcomments is written by me, and is currently a me-specific script. You will have to tweak the @include, and I have it set to exclude some journals in my friends list that I don't have to obsessively follow all of the conversations of. Assuming that you do not want to exclude the exact same set as me, you will want to tweak that line too. This has to go after lj_new_comments in execution order, because it's based on the changes that script makes.

I also tag on an auto-reload (the third script) every five minutes; that way, whenever I have some free time and go back to my friends page, it's reasonably up to date.

I have no idea how this will work with your style, thought, which does not look at all like mine. No, wait, that's not true. I can say definitively that lj_new_comments (or, at least, this one) doesn't work with the your style. On my style, it turns "4 comments" into "4 comments (2 new)". But you don't have a text link that says "4 comments", you just have a button that says "4" and it doesn't recognize that.
