Get it here: and click the "click here to install FRTV" link.
Internet Explorer users may be able to get it to work using the IE7Pro addon, but I haven't tested it to vouch for it.
Some of you may know about this gem, but I want to make sure every Firefox and Chrome user knows about the beauty of FR Tree View.I love it! It makes the FR experience much better. Thank you cynwoody! I also use the other tools listed on cynwoody's profile page: Absolutify, and Free Republic Posting Form Enhancer. The later has been enormously appreciated. It makes FR postings with enhanced html throughout, easy, easier to read, and more eye-catching. I also love that this is so customizable, if we are so inclined and able: I originally stumbled onto these tools because I know a little javascript and greasemonkey, and was hoping to write a tool that watches for the names of 20 or 30 hecklers that troll and infect the threads I visit. I wanted the tool to automatically block specific heckler's drivel as the page loaded, before I saw it, so that I wouldn't accidentally read any of them, and get my blood pressure boiling. Ideally the pre-processor would keep a list of names, maybe in the greasemonkey's .js file, and whenever if finds one of those users, it would replace their tripe with something like... ...much like JimRob does with deletions ...or if its any easier, leave the header and footer of the heckler's post alone and just replace their internal content. To: Dan, cyn, or anyone else on this thread, could you suggest how to possibly go about tweaking FR Tree View to accomplish the ignoring of specific individuals, as I've described here? ...and to others that I 'cc'ed: What is FRTrollBlocker or killfile? or kill filter? and how do I find out more about these or get them? and will they still work if FRTreeView is already running on the same threads? |
I tried that awhile back. I’ve gone back to the basic view. In doing my daily ping I find the basic view easier to work with.
Warning!
It’s not a good idea to use this on a long thread. Switching to tree view forces it to load the entire thread on one page, which can be a real problem on a multi-thousand post live thread, plus it takes a while to load.
It defeats the purpose of having pages, and will send the bandwidth usage through the roof. Worst case, it could bring down the entire FR system if a lot of people are using it.
BFL when I’m not on an iPad....

NICE! Working great on FF on Win 7.
Hope it works as well on FF on my Macs and Linux boxes.
