We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.

My wordlist and hidden threads got wiped recently for unknown reasons. Is there a way to make a backup of them?

These are stored in your browser's LocalStorage area for Resetera. You should be able to Google a method for getting into LocalStorage. The data can be copied from there.
Can't wait to create my private Era echo chamber inside an echo chamber inside an echo chamber...
Not sure if this was mentioned in OP but, this does appear to require using DarkERA to access the filter control panel (though you can still reap the benefits in NightERA, you just have to switch back to DarkERA temporarily to change settings).
Yes I use NightERA lol.

I actively avoid browsing resetera on my phone nowadays thanks to this script. lol
I'm so glad that this exists; it helps to make visiting this place feel less obnoxious and repetitive (for the lack of a better word).

You build it yourself by adding words or phrases to the filter you don't care about seeing in the list of threads. (i.e. Trump, Master Race, Jim Sterling, Playstation, Xbox, Switch, PC, etc.)
You can also click the little "X" next to obvious bait, troll, or circle-jerk threads to hide them even if they don't match any of your filter words or phrases.
It takes a little work but you can really make the forum a lot more focused with this.
EDIT - I just realized you might not know where to look for the control panel. It's right above the list of threads in Video Games or EtcetEra. It's a button labelled "Filter Control Panel". Theme might play a part in it as well. I use "Dark Era (Legacy)" and the button is purple.
I can't believe I never thought of this. I can finally get rid of all the anime/marvel/apple/sports threads now.
You forgot Kanye and Star Wars threads. Wish it iOS allowed browser plugins.
Can get rid of all these "Go South" threads that have suddenly popped up like some Youtuber channel
I thought the preview of the revamp mentioned a hide threads feature, did I imagine or misunderstand that?
It's part of the site now. Use the ignore button at the top of the page.
You can't ignore with keywords like with this plugin. Except im missing it.
My life was so much better without PUBG threads... Please tell me this script is going to work again :(
It's not the same. You need to open the threads and ignore them one by one. This plugin is basically a filter tool to hide threads with your preferred keyword(s).
Please make it work with new site. Though new site makes it easy, if i can hide all Astro bot, Fortnite and trump threads that would be amazing.
Yeah, it's nice that they tried to implement a native blocker, but it's just less intuitive than the extension. Things like ignoring threads while on the directory instead of inside the thread, seeing all ignored threads separately and using keywords just makes browsing ResetERA much better.
I silently loved this script. Deep in my heart. Rest in Peace you magnificent bastard. May you rise again.
yea Im gonna need a keyword filter real bad, forgot how intolerable etcera is without it. Need it to hide all the megathreads in gaming too because they never get moved to gaming hangouts no matter how old or how long they are.
Yeah this and live thread are musts...thankfully the latter has already been updated to work with new update fyi.
I wonder if it will be an easier time doing this kind of add-on since the site now supports the ignore feature on the backend.
Just get the thread id as normal (after accounting for the major source changes to how the threads are listed out) and then just call the ignore/unignore link for each thread id depending on what's going on.
You can even ignore all the threads already ignored in your cache by just looping through each one and calling the ignore link for each one.
