Stack Overflow Optional Features (SOOF)

Previously Stack Exchange Additional Optional Features, but renamed as per @enki-code's suggestion

There are a lot of feature-requests on Meta that seem useful. I've gone through some of them, and made one userscript to add some of them. All these features are optional and can be enabled/disabled in the 'control panel' :)

#Installation and requirements

  1. Install Tampermonkey (for Chrome), or Greasemonkey (for Firefox) or similar. These are userscript managers that are required for this script to work, because they also provide support for GM_* functions, which this script relies on to save the options you set!

  2. Install the script. Development version. Official version. If you have installed Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey, all you need to do is click the version you want. Anything on the development version is not listed here, but it is on the README of the develop branch - please go there if you want the most up-to-date, but possibly buggy, features :)

  3. Go to any SE site (eg. Super User or Stack Overflow). You will be asked to set the options if you browse on an SE site without them already being set. If you want to change the options, a link is displayed (add features) on your profile at the top-right. Clicking it will show a box for you to choose the options you want and save them:

#What features are included? In the latest version: (these link to their corresponding feature-request (from any site on the network), if applicable):


I've only tested it on Google Chrome - please tell me if you find any compatibility issues. You need to have something like Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey to be able to use the script because it relies on GM_* functions.

##Bugs & Feature Requests Please post any bugs or feature requests at GitHub (and not as an answer over here). I'd much prefer them over there as it's easier to manage (and it'll help me learn how to use GitHub :P). Thanks!
