Big resource post.
 
1) Multiple icon uploader

Exactly what it says - will upload multiple icons so you don't have to.

[For Windows] [For Mac] - both files hosted by [info]lena

Keywordable version
[For Windows] [For Mac]

Instructions (all versions)
• Instructions for use (Win) - put all your icons in the folder, double click 'upl.bat' and type in your username and password
• Instructions for use (Mac) - put all your icons in the folder, ctrl-click 'upload.sh,' open with > terminal and type in your username and password
• Instructions for keywording - name the icon what you want its keyword to be before uploading
• Instructions for editing (for use at GJ or LJ) - edit the program using notepad or textedit (NOT WORD) and change every instance of insanejournal to livejournal or greatestjournal


NOTE Windows Vista Users
You must do the following for the uploader to work (info courtesy of [info]slayer)
start --> control panel --> user accounts --> turn user account control on/off --> unclick use User Account Control

** I would suggest turning UAC back on when you are finished uploading. It is a function of Vista that limits privileges of non-authorised programs (i.e. malware) so they can't mess with your system. **


2) LJ/GJ/IJ/JF login

Stores all your usernames for all supported LJ clones simultaneously (firefox only)

http://ljlogin.e-space.gweep.net/

**DEFUNCT (but still here if you are interested in the code)**
Edited LJlogin (for use with New Site Schemes or Scribbld):

http://karma-apple.insanejournal.com/16448.html



3) Backup and migration tools

Different ways of archiving or moving your journals

http://karma-apple.insanejournal.com/8073.html


4) Thread unfolder

Allows you to view collapsed threads without going to a different page

http://karma-apple.insanejournal.com/14135.html


5) Adblockers

• Adblock Plus (Firefox)

Install and restart your browser

• IE Adblock (IE7)
(Direct link because the site is annoying as hell and tries to redirect you to download other pointless shit -- irony, anyone?)

http://pleasantlysharp.googlepages.com/ieadblock_exe_0.6.exe
(Mirror if the previous stops working for some reason)

Download, install, restart browser; doesn't block flash for some reason. If you want to be totally adfree, you can disable flash by going to the tools --> manage add-ons --> enable or disable add-ons --> select add-ons that run without permission --> shockwave flash object --> disable
** note that disabling this way does not differentiate between helpful flash and ad-flash **

• Safari AdBlock (Safari)

Download and install

• Adblock Filter (Opera 9)

Open urlfilter.ini (you can find this file by clicking here and copying the address - make sure to take out the quotes); copy the contents of the filter and paste them under the [exclude]; close Opera; save the ini file; restart Opera


6) Worksafe CSS fixes

My edits to the Worksafe CSS (stylish + firefox)


7) Check all boxes

Annoyed by having to click a jillion tickyboxes to clear out icons? These Firefox add-ons allow you to mass-select boxes and check them all at once.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2708

Instructions: select all your tickyboxes, the same way you would highlight text, right click --> 'check all selected'


8) Prettify Insanejournal

http://userstyles.org/styles/16795

Replaces a number graphics on insanejournal (like )with cuter ones (like ).

Requires Firefox & Stylish; created by boundary

If you want to change the images, after installing, take a look at the code and replace the background-image with an image of your choice.

FYI, I have a more permanent link to the icon uploader thing here for Windows and here for Mac on my server. Feel free to pass it around.

I hate to be the one to do this, but off the bat, does the multiple icon uploader work on vista? Because I'm hving some troubles. So I uploaded the icons to the folder with the four programs. Ran the .bat, it said it was uploading. Say four icons. I then go to firefox, user icons and they're not there. Is there something I'm doing wrong or should be doing? Sign out of my account, close out of firefox, etc?

Just thought I'd let you know that when I try to download the icon uploader for Windows hosted by [info]lena I get an error of it being invalid or corrupt.

I didn't knew that there was a multiple up-loader out there and I always wanted to have one.I searched the Internet for a really long time and today I finally "tripped" over this post!
This up-loader is soooo amazing and it works perfectly well!
Thank you for posting this!

Hi. I'm hoping maybe you can help me. I run Windows Vista and I'm trying to use the multiple icon uploader but I can't get it to work. I turned off user account controls and I opened the .bat file in notepad, changed IJ to LJ, saved, and nothing changed. When I try to run the file "curl" it pops up and immediately goes away again. "login" and "upload" are just images of webpages. So I assume I am to run "upl", but when I try that, it takes my username and password and then does nothing.

Can you please help me understand how to use this? Thank you.
