Here's a hacked version that works with the new Url scheme (in firefox...not well tested...use at own risk) javascript:void(A=document.getElementsByTagName('a'),N=[],M=[],f=''); for(i=0; i 10000 && h.indexOf('user') ==-1 && h.indexOf('#')==-1 && A[i].parentNode.tagName.toLowerCase()=='span'){ void(N[N.length]=k,M[k]=1)} } for (i=N[0]; i>N[N.length-1]; i--) { if (!M[i]) f += ''+i+' \n'; } void((W=window.open()).document.write('Deleted threads: ' + f)); void(W.document.close());

Don't all these show up in the RSS feed anyway?

niiice! very clever, indeed ;) Armoured-Ant: double check that you're executing the bookmarklet from the same browser window that you have MetaFilter pulled up on- i got the same thing when i tried it the first time.

All I get is a popup with Deleted threads: in it.
