Due to the immense popularity of this script, with three people confirmed using it, all of which happen to be friends of mine, and in order to bump this thread and prevent it from falling to the bottom of the page and getting lost in the sea of off-topicness, I have decided to update it today, and also spent most of the day doing so. The rest of the day was spent either playing Flyff or being depressed, for the ones that are curious.
What's new in the new version (1.3)? After installing it, you'll notice there's a tiny line appended to all /talk pages, saying distract-o-matic settings. Clicking on the settings part of it brings up a half-working window, where the checkboxes do absolutely nothing, and the field and left button can be used to set a new avatar size value, and the right button can be used to delete the cookie used to set the value.
If you have problems with it, try removing the previous version and installing the new one. This should not only solve the issues, but will help me get the number of downloads higher. If it still doesn't work, let me know.

The setting menu in 1.3 is splendid.
A few things to mention:
The font to open the settings menu is abit small. Non-intrusive, yes, but could get missed, especially on higher resolution displays. Also, as it appears in the bottom left-most spot, the firefox page loading info can hide it. Perhaps a more central position, in line with the "Powered by pbpBB" notice.
The settings window that pops up could open slightly larger, as the firefox page loading notice covers over the buttons.
The avatar resizing works very well. Perhaps add a "Please refresh page after changing setting to take effect" notice, and a "Valid size (whatever minimum is)-512" next to the avatar sizes field in the window.

10/10, excellent script, would use it again.

And i agree with the location of the settings, a nice place could by below the "Powered by phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Group" (or Control Panel, for mods )

I just noticed, the cookie now used in distract-o-matic 1.3 is set as "expire on end of session," causing the settings to be lost after browser close.
(The cookie in 1.2 was retained after browser close.)

Fixed that, new version 1.4. It was a problem with the external script used, so to update it, please first remove it from the scripts management, then close the tab (which actually removes it), then install it again. Hopefully all good this time.
Edit: I added in a <center> to the settings, tell me if you think it looks better.

Very nice, but there is a problem. The settings menu is hidden by the ads, so please change the location of it.

Here's something:
Look for a cookie called xnx_distract_avi_size. If there is one, delete it.
On the script management, open the folder of the script. Save this file there, and the following code in the other file:
