Reworking the eHarmony interface...

Okay, most of the time, "eHarmony Cracked" talks about social "hacks". So, for a change of pace, and to satisfy those tech geeks out there... here's a tech tip.

(And, yes, the Google Group readers knew about it for awhile. But not everyone reads the google group. So, thanks, Pyke, for the tip!)

Turns out there's a small community of hackers who use "Greasemonkey" to rework the eHarmony interface. And they have made some pretty neat changes. You can see photos from the "My matches" list. Click on a link to get an idea of what it would take to drive to her city. See how long the match was open... and how long it's been since she's responded to your last communication. All nicely organized. Cool.

To use this:
  • You must be running the Firefox web browser, and download the Greasemonkey plug-in while you're in Firefox.
  • After you have these installed, visit this link to see what scripts are available. Note that the "My Matches" script incorporates a lot of the other scripts that are on the list!
And, yes, these hacks are compatible with the eHarmony Blog script. So... enjoy!
