Good work OP.

I see some acknowledgement has gone astray here, don't worry I found it in Google cache ;)
I'm glad RB has taken the baton here, given the opposition to the new layout I'm sure it will go far :)
An alternative to installing Greasemonkey for Firefox is to install Scriptify, which allows you to "Create and manage add-ons made from Greasemonkey and Scriptish user scripts".
With that installed, right clicking on the Install link and selecting "Scriptify Userscript" basically makes it into its own add-on. :D
EDIT: Would it be possible to add an option to get rid of the "local deals" box at the side in the old layout and the local deals tab (whatever it may be set at) in the current layout, for those of us who don't wish to see that either please?
Edited By: Mattitude on Apr 26, 2012 01:41: Added to edit about the current layout too.
Good work.
Anyone need an OSX Safari tester?
Love the pages back at the top. If it was so easy though, why couldn't they do it themselves? :|

One small issue with the latest version (0.501) is the message display when it is has been liked by the user (see the screenshot below).
EDIT: And now 0.502 doesn't seem to be making any changes to the site at all.

There is one solution that is not perfect for everyone ;) :D
