userscript is done
http://pastebin.com/e26EmT0qit works just great in chrome
BUT. for some godforsaken reason that I can't figure out, it doesn't work in firefox. no errors are printed to the console, it just doesn't do anything
so I hope you use chrome
it adds quote buttons, just like you'd see in any other thread. when you click one, it jumps you down to the bottom of the page, and uses that little green bar to indicate that it's loading just like the forum uses normally. when it's done, it adds the quote to a very plain text box. unfortunately, because of some goofy security limitations in javascript, I can't make it automatically copy it to your clipboard when it's finished, but I did add a separate button above the text box for that, to at least make it a little easier than selecting and copying it manually
let me know if there are any problems
if you
do use firefox, let me know, and I suppose I'll try a little harder to get it to work there, but no promises
note: this applies to anyone who uses firefox and wants to use it
