Filter support requests by [tag]

[afuna]

aveleh, damn you for putting the idea in my head. Was bored in the car while running errands, so I ended up working on the script you asked me to do. I think this does what you wanted (possibly with a few additions).

Right now, you can hide all requests with a certain tag or view only those requests with a certain tag, and you can choose whether your filter is applied persistently (on a new pageload) or will go away once you close the tab.

User interface is rough, but I think it's self-explanatory, though I'd welcome suggestions to improve it. Can't handle filters like "entries|styles", and can't handle both an inclusive filter and an exclusive filter at the same time, but it should be enough for normal boardwork.

Tell me if I got your demands request wrong? ;-)

ETA:
Forgot the link to the script, but it's there now, as well as a brief explanation of what it actually does ;-)

Two things...

Firstly, you forgot a link to the script. :) (Unless that was intentional?)

Also, why not just sort the board by subject? That's what Abe does in Issues if he wants to take a look at all the reqs of a certain tag. :D

p.s., right at this minute, this script is so exceptionally awesome.

Ooh, this works so great for public support that I have ideas about how to use it in Abuse Prevention too. But the requests over there are tagged differently. We use parentheses rather than square brackets. Do you think you could add an extra button that would say "filter by (tag)"? It would be so much <3

Edit: Thank you so much :D It works perfectly!
