  • v108 released - faster updates, smarter caching, better "back" button support, able to power more private subs, new subs, and "tiny icons" mode




    I've just released a new version of MegaMegaMonitor, v108. It's compatible with v106, so you can upgrade "at your leisure" (or else your browser will probably do it for you in a day or two). Here's what's new:

  • v108 will be the first version to have the potential to support ANY private subreddit. Applications welcome to be among the first subs to get this feature.




    I've got all of the core code written for v108, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all. But first, I'd like to find mods from one or more private subs of which I'm not a member who'd like to be guinea pigs for a new feature.

  • Some possible ninja recruits



    I've found a few people who've got ninja-related names and so might be particularly amenable to the idea of being recruited to the noble ranks of the /r/NinjaLounge. I haven't looked any of them up, yet, but here are the links in case anybody else wants to:

  • Icons all disappeared after the v106 release? My bad, sorry...




    To fix it, (1) delete MMM from your Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey scripts list, then (2) restart your browser, then (3) install MMM again. Most people can get away with fewer steps than this, but this three-step approach should work for everybody.

    Hi all!

    So apparently everything broke for a lot of people after I released v106. The problem โ€ฆ

  • MegaMegaMonitor v106 released - enhanced security




    tl;dr: This is a security update to MegaMegaMonitor. If you don't update, your copy of MegaMegaMonitor will stop working.

    Sorry for the wall of text - scroll down to "What's new?" for the short version, and remember to upgrade:
