I’m from Australia and we don’t use pounds so I’ve modified the 4chan/fit/ lbs;kgs extension with some help from another forums to convert everything when you mouse over. It’s very handy.
I have no idea where to put this thread, but this forum is where I use it the most…
You just put this in a text file;
// @name Tnation lbs;kgs
// @namespace unit_conversion
// @description Converts between metric and customary units on 4chan.
// @include http://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/*

And chance the extension in the file name to “.js” then drag it into chrome and let it install.
