Hey all firefox users (sorry, IE users are requested to close this post immediately).

After the success of my last greasemonkey script which automatically converted blogspot links to pkblogs (and subsequently inblogs) urls, i’ve written a new one which addresses the commenting problem we’re facing on blogger when accessing through either of the proxies.

The problem:
When accessing blogger through the proxy, they rewrite the comments URL by prefixing it with “http://www.pkblogs.com/files.php?file=”. This breaks the link, and subsequently the comment page does not open. I suspect it was put up to deal with blogger beta, but hey.. no ones perfect.

The workaround:
Now, if you wish to leave a comment, you had to manually edit the url to leave out the prefix part. Which is both cumbersome and irritating.

The solution:
Install this greasemonkey script and it’ll do the rewriting for you. No more problems while leaving your comments on blogger blogs. (Note: blogger beta commentbox might *still* not work).

Notes:
You do need the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox (version 0.6.4) to run this script. (Available for download from here).
This script is provided “as is” and i will not be responsible for any damage it might cause.

Installation Procedure:

1. Install Greasemonkey or make sure it is installed.
2. Open this link in firefox.
(or copy/paste this link in your browser http://wordofmansoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2007_01/allowcommentingonblogspo.user.js)
3. Click on Tools -> Install this Script
4. Thats it! Now all comment links, even on previous blogs will be usable.

Enjoy it! Comments/Suggestions would be highly appreciated.
