Entry tags:
userscripts: download buttons, saved filters, tumblr savior
Here are a couple scripts to tweak the works index pages. They run on Greasemonkey in Fx or Tampermonkey in Chrome.

And sometimes I can get it to work! Which means I have EVEN MORE QUESTIONS.
To activate it, you type in something, like... -humor, save it, and then click 'sort and filter'?
And this isn't like tumblr savior in how it just runs all the time, I have to do a 'sort and filter' to activate it?(The charming blue highlighted 'Your filter was: [-humor].' does not always appear. I am trying to figure out whyyyy.)
Should I also have a 'Fandom:' box? I have only the 'Global:' box.
Oooh, and what happens if I fiddle with 'User matches'/'User includes'/'User excludes' in the settings at Tampermonkey?

fandom filters are only active if a fandom "owns" the tag you're currently searching in. Like, Harry potter fandom owns hermione but not "books". That's the design anyway, bugs may be interfering.
excludes disable the script on matched pages and includes enable it. hopefully it doesn't do anything if it ends up running where it's not supposed to.
I might be able to make it more like tumblr savior, we'll see.

(oh man making it more tumblr savior-esque would be a TALL ORDER.)

I...actually can't get tumblr savior working for me as a userscript, so I'm not exaaactly sure what the UX is. But just from reading the code, it looks like it simply hides blacklisted posts. I considered this approach on ao3, but it would result in empty or sparse index pages (does tumblr savior produce this if you don't use infinite scrolling on your dash?) if you're filtering out stuff that's very prevalent. So I think it's better to just submit the form and apply the filter for realz.

I don't think tumblr savior *is* being developed as a userscript anymore? I have it as a chrome extension (along with missing-e because together they are the PB and J of my tumblr bread if that metaphor makes any sense)
But it looks like in the four days since I last checked up on this thread (>.>) you have played around with savior-esque-ing up your code. Cool!

You should see the saved filters menu if you still have the saved filters script enabled, but the inputs there don't affect the savior script.
I can add a gui config if anyone really wants it.

If you're still having problems, tell me which script and the exact steps you followed to install+customize it please
Get rid of the old ones first ;)

Install greasemonkey (I uninstalled it after it the script didn't appear to work the first time and all the associated scripts)
restart FF
Instal AO3 Save Filters
Disable PeerBlock/Guardian thingey (just in case)
Go to http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Derek%20Hale*s*Stiles%20Stilinski/works
I don't see the dialogue box that appears in the screen shot, do I need to edit the script first for it to appear?
no subject
Is the script enabled? See the checkbox:

Apparently there are 3 Derek/Stiles fics not tagged with Teen Wolf, out of 29620
edit: hang on, you did say you tried toggling it on and off. Sorry! I can't think why it's not showing up for you now then :( My steps to see your case were:
1. Visit greasyfork
2. Install saved filters script via "Install" button
3. Visit the ao3 link you gave
4. See the filter box
...nothing special :(
I can only think of oddball things for you to try at this point
- look in the console for any js errors
- disable all other addons and scripts
- try a fresh install of Fx
- see if other of my scripts are also AWOL for you
- make sure you're not using NoScript or anything else that would disable js
Those are all kinda stupid suggestions. If I think of anything better I'll come back.
I can at least say that you shouldn't need to restart Fx or toggle GreaseMonkey in order to get userscripts to work, just refreshing the page should be good enough.
