4u v0.2

This version includes functionality to view the status of the links for you from other websites.

The alert banner shows the number of links tagged for you. It will not display if there are no links for you that are unread. There is a link in the banner that will take you directly to the 'links for you' page.
By default this functionality is turned off. To turn on the alert banner open the Tools->Greasemonkey->User Script Commands->show del.icio.us 4u preferences.This is also accessible from the Show Preferences link on the alert banner if it is displayed. From either point the following dialog is displayed that allows the alert banner to be turned on or off.
In order to allow this functionality the script now includes all sites, instead of just del.icio.us. However the code checks the preferences and only performs the processing if the alert banner is turned on.

The alert uses the user id of the last login into del.icio.us. It also requires that you are currently logged into del.icio.us. If there is no recent login information or you are not logged in then a message will show in the banner requesting a login. This message includes a link to the del.icio.us login.

In my mind to make this a 1.0 version I would like to include the functionality to store the read/unread status on a server instead of locally in GM variables.

Hi, I have firefox 3.0 and the script appears to work but then when you reload the page (on delicious) the delicious posts then revert to saying "not shared" in red. Hope this helps.

Just wanted to thank you for the deletion manager Greasemonkey script. It's saving me a lot of time.
