Note that Chrome recently changed its rules so most users will need to pull scripts from their store to use them.

Yes
The developer is looking into it
And restoring the Classical View does not help

I can confirm that the new site breaks the script.
The bad news is I'm hitting some snags with the updates to bring it back to life. Notably, there's a part in the code where it needs to expand and contract all the flight details to force the extra data to load so it can parse. That's no longer working. Expect that this will remain busted for at least a few days while I tinker with it. If anyone knows a shortcut to a resolution I'm all ears.

Hey guys... I didn't realize this was still broken for most people.
I had managed to get it working again a while ago, but then forgot to share. Since then, I had played with a few other things that I wanted to work better. I also wanted to try a new approach to the code.
In the end, I was able to get most everything working while adding a nice feature:
* The colorized fare data now sticks around when you do something that refreshes the results.. like "show more" or sorting by one of the other fare types,etc..
Anyway, it works for me and I wanted to share it with everyone since I've gotten so much use from it.
Redo of sbsm12's ExpertMode script

You might want to drop O (which is a paid premuim economy fare class) and add RN with is premium economy upgrade inventory.

What is the method of installing said script? I just copied and pasted into a new user script, and while my firefox greasemonkey indicates that it's active, I see no such annotations.
Would you mind updating the install instructions for ijits like myself?

The first things to check when it's not working are that 1) you are logged in and 2) you have expert mode enabled on united.com. The results take an extra second or two to show up after the results page initially loads.
I use Chrome with Tampermonkey as my platform, I haven't tested it outside of that. However, I believe that the original script was working on other platforms as well, so my expectation is that it still should be. Hmm.

Nothing about the installation method has changed. Using tampermonkey or greasemonkey, just add it and it should be turned on.

Tried with "Expert mode redo" and with both "Expert mode redo and expert mode". Site looks as before, have to expand to see whether PZ=0 or not.
Note, I just copied and pasted your script/link into a new Greasemonkey script.. should other things have been done?

I made a modification to the script. The short of it is that I believe Firefox requires that jQuery be manually listed as pre-req vs Chrome handling it automatically.
From what I understand, it requires that the script be reinstalled in GreaseMonkey.. so, on the little monkey icon up top, click and then click again on the name of the script, then uninstall.
Then, click on the link I pasted above. When you do that, GreaseMonkey should recognize it and give you the option to simply click install. From that point on, I think it should work. I am in Firefox now and it seems to be working as expected after having made that change.

That did it -- for future readers out there, make sure to have greasemonkey installed before you click on the link. Then it's smooth sailing as it will recognize it and install it automagically like superEGO indicated.
Thanks!

United Expert Mode-greasemonkey scripts (malware)
Hi All,
Many years ago I installed a FT user's greasemonkey scripts to highlight Expert Mode upgrades. Worked great and eased the pain of searching. But now I find that greasemonkey can be malware, specifically inserting malware to the Firefox search tab, "marquis search" is malware, upon opening. Haven't been able to trash marquis, but I wonder if it's related to my old greasemonkey scripts. Questions:
1. Has anyone noticed marquis on their firefox browser?
2. Is there an updated "Mileage Plus greasemonkey script" that ISN'T malware? If so, where is the link, please?
I don't use Firefox much so I uninstalled Firefox (but Marquis keeps coming back when I re-install FF): I couldn't find Marquis in any of the applications/extensions, so I don't know where it was located originally.I would like to have those scripts: make it real easy to search, but not with the viral potential.
Curious if any other FT users have seen this.
And, if I'm in the wrong forum, please let me know--and suggest where I can re-direct this tech issue.
Thanks.

I have used Greasemonkey for years and have no issues with it, so I assume Search Marquis came from somewhere else. I recommend a full malware scan. There are also many sites that detail how to remove Search Marquis.
