This is an excellent tool. Much appreciated! Mxmsj 04:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Nice as far as it goes
Works well, but... I found it necessary to add a couple lines of code to show all successful links, so I could be sure what it was checking. As it turned out, since it only checks links in the external links table, it misses all links embedded in HTML blocks. Will need to write something to extract embedded links. Thanks for the framework, though.
Up to date? SVN?
Does this work on 1.15 and above? Why isn't this in a SVN repo for download and upgrade?
Internet Explorer
The extension works as expected with 1.16 on Firefox 3.6, but results in a page error when using IE7. Has anyone figured this issue out yet?
[edit] Turn broken external links red?
This would be really cool if it could also turn broken external links red. If it were customizable so that certain links would be delinkified to plain text only, that would be great! I guess what I'm really after is an extension that instantly checks any external link so the user gets immediate feedback if the link is broken, much like how wiki links are instantly red if they don't go anywhere.
