    you should be at post 38. this is an example of the current Moon of Alabama
    user interface.
    we have a post which contains three references to other posts.
    the last line is the normal "Posted by:" line for this post.
    now we go over to the tampermonkey icon on the upper right on the browser window.
    click on the tampermonkey icon then scroll down to the dashboard and click on it
    this gives us a tampermonkey dashboard in a new tab.
    go down to the XTomScript entry and click the enable so its green.
    now go back to the moon of Alabama tab and refresh the page.
