Hi Russel, thanks for mentioning your Greasemonkey script, I’m sure it solves the problem neatly. I had a little problem with the Chickenfoot script, too, when I logged in to Google Adwords. Limiting the script to www. and groups. fixed this for me.

Thanks for the post, this was just what I was looking for! Unfortunately, Chickenfoot was unstable on my system. But it inspired me to write a Greasemonkey script that does the same thing (it can also restore the other hidden links, like Froogle and Books).

Nice find. Thanks. I installed Chickenfoot, created a trigger with the script and it works great.

Sometimes I feel like I live in Google Groups, so saving an extra click is quite a time saver.
