Awesome! I love it. My favorite xkcd-inspired hack is still goatkcd[1] though. [1] NSFW http://goatkcd.com : goatse parody

At first glance I agreed with the downvoters, but... assuming this isn't updated manually, would be interested to see the code behind it, as it generates comic images which only replace the last frame with goatse. For example (and this is obviously NSWF and shows a goatse picture) http://goatkcd.com/strips/1170.jpg

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Goatse parody? That IS Goatse. Don't link to that!

Feature request: if a link has NSFW and is being downvoted, please gray everything except the NSFW part (and translate it to those pure souls who don't even know what is NSFW) Or, disable the link automatically for highly downvoted comments Or at least make the link use the same color (Or a bit easier, if it has NSFW, just remove it automatically) Edit: yes, I agree, ignore the last one

> (Or a bit easier, if it has NSFW, just remove it automatically)

Why? NSFW doesn't always mean it's not interesting content. It's perfectly possible for there to be interesting technical discussion which happens to be regarding adult content (be it pictures, or large swear words, etc.)

A warning is fine, but I just hate it when a site doesn't even let me try in another browser. I use Firefox Nightly, maybe it fixed the issues that are breaking your app? If you're detecting via user agent, what if I use an odd user agent? What if I want to look at the web console to see just what breaks in case I know what the issue is?

When HackerNews change the colour of the text in a comment to gray, it really should fix change the link colour as well.

I love how downvoting backfires here and ends up visually emphasizing the link. Until the CSS is fixed you could do something like:

It doesn't work under FF Nightly. I'm sorry this was a quick way how to deal with the issue. I don't want to deal with complains "it is broken / it doesn't work for me".

I'm going to push new version which will allow you to continue over that warning.
