One of Devils Workshop reader mailed me this screenshot (at the right) of her facebook account! Being user of our Facebooks anti-apps Ignore ALL & Block ALL scripts she requests a way so that she can "poke back" all pokers at once.
Thanks to GreaseMonkey, we can use a auto poke script!
When installed this script will automatically check if somebody had poked you whenever you go to your facebooks homepage. If it sees any pending pokes, it will automatically poke back the poker. (Check following screenshot!)
Installation:
- If you are in Firefox with GreaseMonkey extension installed you can click here to install Facebook Autopoke Script.
OR
- Download firefox if you don’t have it!
- Install GreaseMonkey extension for firefox. (SKIP this if you have GreaseMonkey too!)
- Close all firefox windows and restart firefox
- Install Facebook Autopoke Script

Hi there!! I installed the script, but now I’m not seeing poke notifications at all. I’ve been in a poke war, so I have to imagine I’m being poked (hehe) but I’m not seeing any notifications. I’m running Firefox 2.0. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

If script gets installed successfully, just visiting your facebook homepage auto-poke all pokers.
The text “poke back” as shown in sidebar is changed to “Auto-Poked!” if all goes well. (see screenshots in post…)
Just in case, if you are new to GreaseMonkey scripts, refer to this quick & short GreaseMonkey tutorial! 🙂
Rest, there is no problem with Firefox 2.0…
Its not working for me, im running the latest firefox but not the beta. everything is still the same, possible that facebook has blocked this script?

Auto-Poke failed! [1.1]

thats because facebook always changes the code for it to not work 🙂 waiting for new version
script working on 20th december
I got it to work if you edit the script after installing go to grease monkey and manage user scripts select the facebook poke then add the facebook home page link face book change there home page link the ones inside dont match
Side note leave the other pages in take just go to face book log in click home and copy the top link into included pages love the script by the way
any help for chrome users?
It works for me, but only partially correct. It will auto-poke when I log into facebook, but not every time I visit my facebook home. Any input or suggestions? LOL… is there a script that I can install that will just automatically repoke no matter whether I’m at the computer or not?… like some script I can post into my facebook information boxes.
How to uninstall it!!
works great thanks 🙂
this isn’t working!!!!
not working. cant find way to edit script…what does the desktop icon look that should come once i hit edit on facebook poke script
still works as of tonight I followed Robby’s instructions and all went well “// @include http://www.facebook.com/” take away the comas
does this tell the people you’re poking that they’ve been “autopoked?”

There is also this great alternative for an auto-poker as an extension to Google Chrome, which will soon get a major update, and is also about to be released to safari and firefox:
