UserJS - Skip Hotmail's Today page

Monday, 25. July 2005, 09:59:23

This script immediately redirects the user to Hotmail's Mail tab (the inbox page) when he signs in. This way the Hotmail Today page (the regular "front page" that tells you how many messages you have) is skipped.

if (window.location.href.match(/http:\/\/(\w+\.){0,2}hotmail(\.msn)?\.com\/cgi-bin\/hmhome\?/)){
    if (document.referrer=='' || document.referrer.match(/http:\/\/login.passport.net\/uilogin/))
        location.href=location.href.replace('hmhome','HoTMaiL');
}

If referrer logging is enabled in Opera, the script will redirect the user only when he logs in; Opera Today can then be visited by clicking on the appropriate link. If referrer logging is disabled, Opera Today becomes virtually unreachable, as clicking on the link will automatically send the user to his inbox. All information displayed on that page is available elsewhere on Hotmail, though.

That's cool, but why do people still use hotmail?

now it seems it doesn't work anymore, or is it only me?

scipio # 16. February 2006, 15:06

It still works here. Do you use O8.51 or O9TPx?

Doliprane # 16. February 2006, 18:26

09TP2, but was working fine so far

scipio # 17. February 2006, 11:01

Strange, it still works fine here in both versions.

Yes, I discovered it needed an update for Live Hotmail, but I haven't switched so I haven't bothered to make those changes yet.
