Slashdot filter to green theme?
Today my header filter to get rid of the ugly other themes (brown etc) and back to the original slashdot green theme seems to have stopped working.

Old filter:
[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "!-|||||||||||| URL: Fix ugly Slashdot color schemes (Out)"
URL = "images.slashdot.org/slashdot_[^.]+.css&$RDIR(http://images.slashdot.org/slashdot.css)"


Any ideas?

RE: Slashdot filter to green theme?
If i go to http://slashdot.org/ my firefox 3.0.6 downloads the following files:

***2855 IN: (,text/html)*** http://slashdot.org/
***2859 IN: (css,text/css)*** http://images.slashdot.org/lick.css?T_2_5_0_241b
***2858 IN: (css,text/css)*** http://images.slashdot.org/idlecore-tidi...2_5_0_241b
***2861 IN: (js,text/javascript)*** http://images.slashdot.org/all-minified.js?T_2_5_0_241b
***2860 IN: (css,text/css)*** http://images.slashdot.org/comments-idle...2_5_0_241b
***2862 IN: (js,text/javascript)*** http://images.slashdot.org/jquery-opt-1.js?T_2_5_0_241b


As you can see in the address of the downloaded css files there is no "slashdot_" after "images.slashdot.org/" so the URL has to changed

click here - http://images.slashdot.org/slashdot.css
as you can see, the link is legit and opens a .css file...

so that doesn't seem to be the problem...


ps - too bad that the forum software attaches closing parenthesis as part of the link, as originally posted, lol...

But the filter doesn't match 'cause it never finds "images.slashdot.org/slashdot_*.css"

When i go to http://games.slashdot.org/ , open the Prox Menu, click "Toggle 4 CSS", the active stylesheets are printed to the page bottom, one of them being "http://images.slashdot.org/yui_games.css?T_2_5_0_241b".

Now, when i edit posted filter (please use [ code ] tags!), and replace "slashdot_[^.]+.css" with "(slashdot|yui)_[^.]+.css", i get the green theme.

There might be more new prefixes...
