New Greasemonkey script to help you manage your Google Analytics account's profiles!

If you have multiple profiles setup for your google analytics account, then you may have noticed that when you choose a new profile to view you are sent to the main dashboard for the selected profile. This can become really cumbersome as now you have to navigate all the way back down the report you want in the new profile.

Well now, with this simple Greasemonkey script, when you select a new profile to view you will see the same report you were just on, but it will be for the new profile which you selected. Also, if you wish to compare reports from two profiles, there is an option to view the new profile in a separate tab.

I can't think of how many times I've done this manually. I'll probably forget I even have this installed before long; it's that intuitive. Thanks for coming out with this!

Nice! I get annoyed any time I can't open something in a new tab, so this is great.

I'm glad you find this Greasemonkey script useful, I hope you like the update =]

You two already know about this I'm sure, but if anyone else finds this script handy, then consider using http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2008/06/12/automat... from LunaMetrics in tandem with the script above.
