Ah, I see I have missed all the fun! Though that was probably for the best....

It's nice that the barrage is coming a lot slower now :)

HunchBluntley: Is that the one (the first game, that is) where the characters only occasionally use the corny pseudo-old-timey language, and the rest of the time they speak in (more-or-less) contemporary language? I think I did read something about how, in the sequel, there's, like, one character who is the designated "speak like a moron who thinks he's a medieval town crier" guy, and most everyone else speaks "normally".

This actually raises an interesting question: do they try to replicate this sort of "poorly antiqued" style of language in the other localizations? Have you played the German-language versions (or any other versions) of these games, or only the English versions?
The first game is completely "Ye Olde English", so bad it's almost good. In the second game their is one NPC who talks like that. And the protagonist comments "Who talk like this?!".

Wishbone: And they almost always pronounce "Ye" with a Y, not being aware that the Y is actually a thorn character representing the "th" sound, so the word is actually "The".
Interesting. I didn't know that.

I've just found out that marking 3 pages of spam at once will crash FF...

I'm sure a simple change in the script to cycle through them instead of trying to do them all at once would solve it handily...

First question:
How do I create a bookmark? I know how to make a bookmark from the present page, but not how to make an "empty" bookmark.

Make your bookmark bar visible first. Then right-click it. There should be an option to create a new bookmark.

Yes I've thought about that. Problem is, I would have to wait for the "mark as spam" ajax request to finish (so it doesn't get canceled). But I have to way to find out. Also, if pages return 404 (because they already are gone) I would have to handle this too, or the script would stop not going to the next.
I certainly could come up with some solution (best would be to create the "mark as spam" request myself. But I simply don't have the time to put any more effort into these script - I have real work to do too. Maybe I can look into it at the weekend, but I'm not too optimistic because I need to have some family time too.

Well, I made the bookmark sidebar visible, but it only brings me the same menu as the button right to the star!

Not sidebar, bar ;-)

Using FF in German? Go into the menu (press Alt if you don't see it). There goto "Ansicht" (View) -> "Symbolleisten" (what's it called in English?) -> "Lesezeichen-Symbolleiste" ("Bookmarks bar").

Well, it seems to work now. A strange thing is that the screen is greyed out and then becomes more visible with each okay you click. But this brings a little feeling of progress!

That's FF greying out the page with each alert. Alternatively you can just leave the page alone of a few minutes (to let everything process) and then hit F5 (doesn't work in Chrome) or hit Enter to close the alerts.

Another strange thing is that after the reporting most reported threads stay white and the red bar also stays.
