Entering beta testing

dgg, the greasemonkey script for digg.com, is starting beta testing. The purpose of dgg is to allow users to completely ignore articles containing certain keywords or articles coming from particular websites. Please leave feedback! Download it!

There is a bug in dgg, where it does not work on more than the first page. I have fixed the minor issue:

To get this script to work on more than the first page, simply replace line 53:

if(i == p.length-2 || i < 0) return mainFilter;

with

if(i == p.length-2 || i < 0 || p.substr(i+2,4)=="page") return mainFilter;

I'm also going to try to add functionality to block articles that start with a number (as in the 10 best wastes of time).

I don't know if you get notified that there is a new comment on the userscripts page or not, but I fixed the bug and added functionality to the dgg script. It now supports regular expression filtering. I also added my list of filters for people that want to filter out the spammy lists (which is the main reason that I use the script).

I seriously hope that you do not mind. You did some things that I never would have thought of (integrating the settings into Digg's settings) and really did put together a great script.

If you approve of the changes that I made, you might want to consider changing the description to include that it supports regular expression filtering as well so that will come up in the search. A more detailed summary might help with the ranking, since it comes up low on the list at the moment, unfortunately.

Thanks again for the great script!
