Sweet. I also commissioned an extension to "Mark all as read" on news.yc: http://www.nivi.com/blog/article/mark-as-read

Nice work. Your redesign gives it some trendy flair without being too garish. But I do prefer the "stock" simplistic look (and I dig the YC orange).

ed, great work. When I clicked on a story, though, the comments weren't appearing until I commented out line 194.

Thanks for pointing that out. I made the change in the source.

If anyone installed this script without firebug they're probably affected by this mistake. Try reinstalling the script if this is the case.
