To this day, STILL, and hopefully someone can please answer this question – I’ve NEVER been able to get the ‘install user script’ menu to be activated after installing greasemonkey.

Am I completely missing something? Greasemonkey is useless to me.

Dustin, I think it’s only ever in it’s activated state when you have a ‘.user.js’ file loaded as text into the window — are you saying it still doesn’t activate then? Is it possible you have another application taking control of your ‘.js’ files?

I clearly overlooked the drag and drop step of putting in the .user.js file. It all makes sense. Except now, the function wrapping in the examples is a little wierd. Maybe that's a side of js I've never seen written before.</p> you know. it was just that. I clearly overlooked the drag and drop step of putting in the .user.js file. It all makes sense.

I get the email about ‘The secret is out’ and was offered to purchase the book with a discount for whatever reason.

Naturally, I went ahead and purchased the book, but it’s seriously been a full week since then. Since it was bought at a discount (which sitepoint was offering), did my ‘lightning fast shipping service’ get taken away?

I keep hearing how it only takes like 2 days to for a book to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other. What happened?
