Hi everyone
I expect I'm not alone in regularly spoilering myself when watching the GSL by accidentally/absent mindedly reading one of the comments below the video. After ruining Jinro's group for myself yesterday I decided enough was enough and went to hunt for a Greasemonkey script that would hide them from me.
I found this, which adds buttons to the page, but unfortunately the comments were still displayed by default. So, long story short, I altered the script myself so that now when the pages load the comments start hidden. I thought this was something that some others might find useful!
The script is available here. If you have Firefox with Greasemonkey installed, or Chrome then clicking the link should prompt you to install the script. I wanted to put it on userscripts, but unfortunately their signup seems to be broken, so this will have to do for now. The script adds two buttons underneath the comment box as shown below, so just click "show comments" to restore them if you want to read them at any point.

Hope it helps somebody, and any problems just let me know

Now if only we could find a way to hide the unavoidable spoilers by looking at the length of the match.
"What, match 2 is only 7 minutes and 21 seconds? Darn..."

now if only we could find a way to avoid the retardation of looking at the length of the match when you dont want to be spoilered.
just focus on not looking at the comments, LR thread & match length and youre fine.

Are you being serious? The 'hide comments' is in your picture in the first place. The bottom-right...

Yes, but crucially they aren't hidden by default. This script means they are hidden when the page loads, so you can't "accidentally" read the comments.
|
Well you don't go to that page , simple. Or you close your eyes , press the hide comments button and open your eyes.
|
Just...don't scroll down?
|
They aren't disabled by default but once you hide them when logged-on on GOM they will be disabled by defaut for further visits on VOD pages.
|
I use my peripheral vision when I select VODs so I avoid seeing the length and comments. Its not that hard.
Just
Don't
Look.
|
i usually maximize the screen while watching to avoid it, thanks for the script though
|
I go full screen ASAP and move the mouse to the top right corner to hide the time bar. Normally works great!
|
The settings stay when you press the 'hide comments' button that is already there. I did that during like season 1 and they haven't come back. Do it once and it'll stay like that forever, without a script. Perhaps if it keeps resetting, you simply have to enable cookies for that site.
What I would like to know though is if anyone has created a way to hide the VOD duration on all the vods.

To all the people saying "Just don't look" or similar, thanks for your input and sorry the script's no use to you. For me (and it seems some others) it is quite easy to accidentally read the comments so something like this is helpful.
To those saying the inbuilt "Hide comments" button remembers your setting... that doesn't seem to work for me in Chrome, even with cookies enabled. So not sure what's going on there.
Anyway, take it or leave it. It's a script I wrote for myself which I thought others might find useful. If you do that's great, if not then you've not lost anything have you?

well we're generally pretty angry people since we fill a gap that is usually occupied by a somewhat decent hobby by sitting in front of a PC, as such we rather complain and ridicule others behind a veil of anonymity. youre absolutely right, everyone who has no use for this should shut the fuck up (me included)

Funny, I never spoilered myself. If I can only watch it later I won't visit TL and will click on the videos and instantly fullscreen it with conciously not looking at the timer. Same on Set 2 etc. It's really not that hard.

did u just say that?
Close your eyes, and then go press on some buttons?... O.O :p

Some people really need to fuel their e-peen. Yes, you can avoid spoilers pretty easily. This script makes it even easier for some people.
If the script doesn't help you, then don't use it. Does it hurt you in any way? No. So shut the fuck up and move along. Why did you even click this topic, let alone respond? Are your lives really pathetic enough that you need to try and be a badass on TL.net to impress the cool kids?
OP, neat script. It should be useful for some people.
