Help
How do I uninstall this thing? I deleted the line from my monobook.js page but it still up there when I'm editing a page. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to work correctly (I'm using windows xp with firefox 3.0.11), every time I click on a button it just reloads the entire page. And my usual WP toolbar isn't there (is that supposed to happen?). --ErgoSum•talk•trib 20:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Press Shift + F5. No, it shouldn't be reloading the button. Perhaps a conflict with another script you have installer. Also, try using it through Greasemonkey. --Odie5533 (talk) 15:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- I tried that, it is still there. I have wikEd installed as well. Perhaps it will clear itself up, or is there something I can do? My edit toolbar is missing, thats my main problem. When I turn the edit toolbar off in my prefs, the SnipManager toolbar disappears. --ErgoSum•talk•trib 00:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- My guess would be a problem with your cache not clearing, or perhaps a deeper problem with Firefox. Try clearing your cache in Firefox. Also, visit your Monobook page and click edit. In the address bar, change action=edit to action=purge and hit enter. Click okay, then try refreshing the cache again. Perhaps Wikipedia has not updated the cache. --Odie5533 (talk) 00:48, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- I've tried everything. I installed Greasemonkey, I purged the cache two different ways by clicking the purge clock and shift+reload. Nothing is working. I still can't see my edit toolbar and every time I try to use the SnipManager buttons it redirects me from the edit page to the article page. --ErgoSum•talk•trib 16:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- Try opening Wikipedia in a different browser (Chrome, IE, Opera) and logging in (you must log in). See if SnipManager is still there. If it is, then you know it is a problem with your Wikipedia account. If it's not, then you know it is a problem with your Firefox cache. The steps taken to resolve each are completely different, so please let me know which it is and I will try to help you from there. --Odie5533 (talk) 19:33, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah I tried that. It must be a WP problem. --ErgoSum•talk•trib 22:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- The next step, and possibly last as far as I can take you, is to narrow down where the script is coming from. To do this, please install the Web Developer extension for Firefox (you can easily remove it later if you like). Load an edit page in Wikipedia. On the Web Developer toolbar click Information -> View JavaScript. Then press [Ctrl] + [F] to bring up a search box. Type in "SnippetManager" without the quotes (Note: I used SnippetManager as the name of the program while coding, so searching for SnipManager will return no results). Locate the line and then begin scrolling up until you reach a larger font and bold header. That header will list where SnipManager is being sent to you from, and the faulty (?) script.
- Are you sure you've emptied the cache on each browser? Perhaps you have Greasemonkey installed and don't realize it, and that combined with a non-emptied cache could give the illusion of it never going away. Just something to check on. --Odie5533 (talk) 12:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Updated Skin
Thanks for updating the skin Odie=DSmallman12q (talk) 23:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- You are very welcome. Glad to know you're still using the script. Time permitting, I plan to refactor the script more and maybe add some interesting new features. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Editing existing refs
Seems like a pretty cool script. Is there any way to edit existing refs? That would be very helpful. —danhash (talk) 15:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
