Gmail warns against Greasemonkey scripts
Log into Gmail today and you might see big red warning about Greasemonkey scripts. For those of you keeping score, Google has been spiffing up Gmail over the past few weeks, including a nice code overhaul, colored labels, group chat and AIM capabilities. Oh, and the tasty IMAP. Now it appears some scripts have become such a nuisance that Google offers a chance to "fix this" which we declined.

What would be really nice is me being able to choose which version I want to use and it staying persistent, something apparently Googleites aren't familiar with!
