Save Time and Hacker News don't mix. :)

I think my Hacker Newsletter (http://hackernewsletter.com) project can help with that for a lot of people (as well as this great extension), but yeah, anytime HN is involved there is a good chance time is going to go out the window. :)

Thanks for a great extension (that I have been using!) and I noticed the new changes going live.

Does this fix the bug (which I assume was caused by this) where if a story was marked as read then it sometimes loaded the comments page without the main story link?

Also, the "Follow Comments" functionality wasn't obvious to me until I read this blog post - perhaps a rewording?

Thanks for a great extension!

A not very related comment, but I feel this will be the best time to ask. Why is this site called Hacker News? Very few stuff I see here is what I would potentially maybe consider related to any definition of "hacker". Huge part the posts are ruby/css/new-hip-web-framework stuff, the other big part is startup circlejerks (yes, I know what the hosting ycombinator is).

Thanks for liking :)

I've never been able to reproduce that bug; the code has changed enough with this new version and I never noticed that happening again. If you notice that again, please let me know.

For the rewording of "follow comments", if you have any suggestions you're welcome.

Great plugin. I primarily use http://hckrnews.com to browse HN submissions ( a lot IMO ) and its extensions for Safari: http://hckrnews.com/about.html Both have great ideas, and I think pg should adopt one of them (though I know he won't). I hate it when I use my iPad for browsing HN. Comments are small, up/down-vote arrows are minuscule, and you can't use these highly-useful plugins. And I've tried about a dozen dif…

I've found http://ihackernews.com to be useful for mobile reading

For iOS, http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/ is great. Adapts the layout to your device.

I actually just uninstalled this the other day. It annoyed me that clicking on someone's username wouldn't take me to their profile page, and not only that but there was no longer any way to get there.

I've been using this extension for awhile, and I can't duplicate your results - clicking on your username with the extension installed is taking me right to your profile page. What happens when you do it?

This doesn't happen to me and it just shouldn't happen (I don't change the username in any way). Did you see this consistently? It's very odd.
