Wonky deleted threads showing up in place of music players. July 17, 2008 7:01 PM Subscribe
MeFi Music: MusicTalk threads showing up on main page as deleted threads, tossing out the flash player for the preceding song. Latest example: July 11, the track Settle Down's player is gone and replaced by "Deleted thread:2308", which was actually posted on MeFiMuTa later.
Is this just a bug in the (fantastic) deleted thread Grease Monkey script?

Yes, it is the GreaseMonkey script.
All the script does to detect deleted posts is check for gaps in post IDs. The author will have to add a specific check for this, as they probably had to before on AskMe due to anon question numbers being pre-allocated.

Can you disable Greasemonkey by clicking on the monkey head at the lower right of the status bar?

Update your greasemonkey scripts, I believe Plutor posted an update in response to this bug a couple weeks back.

It was pretty much universally agreed that I won that thread.
