I made a user style to prevent myself (and, now, others!) from accidentally discarding important Opportunity Cards after a couple mistakes involving A Presumptuous Opportunity and An Unsigned Message.
Get it at https://userstyles.org/styles/123929/fallen-london-opportunity-protector
It prevents you from discarding any of the important/rare cards listed below at first, but it's fairly easy to add or remove opportunity cards (instructions in the userstyles.org link).
Installation requires the Stylish browser extension, which is kind of like GreaseMonkey but for CSS. If you don't already have it, a link will be provided on the style's page.
With Stylish installed, just click the big green link with the + button to install Nadir Protector. You can quickly disable it within Stylish if you want to sell your plant, or delete the style if you don't like the changes it makes.
Stylish is a browser extension which allows you to add custom CSS to sites you visit. Opportunity Protector is not a script, but a small CSS patch which applies the display:none attribute to certain parts of Fallen London. It will not play the game on your behalf or send any sort of information to anybody, all it does is modify what you see in your browser.
Please do not report missing "Discard" buttons as a bug to FBG if you use this. If you do see errors, particularly display errors, confirm they persist with the style disabled before reporting them to FBG. If the error is on my end, report it here or to me via private message. You use the extension at your own risk. The style may stop working or behave strangely in the event FBG makes a change to their code base.
Thanks to fallingkitten for the idea, and marcmagus for both the Cave of the Nadir Protector (which taught me how to format Stylish CSS) and the main body of this post (which I have shamelessly copy-pasted because wow, it's well explained). (Cave of the Nadir Protector is here: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic20296-user-style-cave-of-the-nadir-protector-pending.aspx ) Thanks to Optimatum here for an easy way to adjust between any size hand.
Thanks to Cecil for the idea of a list of important / rare card eventid's, and for compiling most of these:

10135 - Bohemians (Parabolan Panthers)
10153 - Society (Parabolan Panthers / Mirrorcatch Boxes)

Assuming De Gustibus behaves similarly to how it has in the past then that will show up for just a few days as a universal storylet. It could become a card at some point, of course, though if it does then the window will need to be widened so the RNG has less of a chance for malice.

Ah, good point. Perhaps I'll hold off on trying the thing until they decide whether or not it's going to be on the whitelist then.
this hardly seems like anything close to cheating, i doubt there's anything to worry about.
i wonder if that rule has ever been invoked
While I am doubtful I'm likely to get hit with a banhammer, I have spent an awful lot of time playing this game + have purchased quite a bit of Fate over the past year, and I'd rather not risk having it wasted if my account gets flagged for suspension.
I know that often I'm overly cautious, and the odds of this happening may be minimal (especially considering the nature of Failbetter Games' staff), but there's much less hassle in re-drawing an opportunity card than in trying to recover a suspended account.

Perhaps also listing particularly profitable cards or those in notable categories would be useful? For example The mechanics of progress, the Respectable Landeau card, the Paranomastic Newshound, One's Public, connected and conflict cards, lodgings cards, relickers, the menace reductions (for example A Moment's Peace), the fate-locked Aunt cards...
In any case this is a great idea. If there's some way to easily incorporate blocking various actions in cards, like selling your plant or throwing out the Amanuensis, that would be great. The Amanuensis card would be a great thing to add in general, too.

Did it not? Hm. Can I ask what your hand size is, and what browser you use? I currently have An Unsigned Message sitting in my hand, without a discard button.

I would be delighted to add those (well, the non-fate-locked ones, as I'm not sure if it's alright to list out the fate-locked ones) as soon as I run into them. In the meantime, if you find them, I would more than welcome you replying here with their eventids, or PMing me, and I would add them as soon as possible.
Blocking various actions in cards is done differently (though I could add it to this stylish script), but there's already a script for blocking selling your plant - and I'd like to keep this script with a single purpose.

I'm fairly certain from other discussions that in most cases just having the name of fate-locked cards is completely fine as long as it's not spoilery and there's not much additional detail. For example you already have A Dream of Blood listed, which is fate-locked as it needs one of the Empyrean Redolence beasts.
Anyways I currently have More Larks with the Young Stags in hand, ID 18122, and I'll keep an eye out for cards of note.
Edit:
The Tower of Sun and Moon: a Reservation at the Royal Bethlehem Hotel (10800)
The Soft-Hearted Widow (22278)

Ah, I didn't know about a Dream of Blood being fate-locked. Well, I'll leave it in until I'm told otherwise, I suppose.
Added those three, as well as 21762 - A Visit

Edit: I'm just going to keep adding cards to this post to not spam everything.
- Call in favours in the Flit (11529) which in addition to the Urchins option also allows turning in Revolutionary connections for a quite-efficient 720 Proscribed Material
- The Lofty Tower: the Potential of Premises at the Bazaar (10802)
- A dream about a window at night, the red-bordered no-requirement Is Someone There? card (13353)
- A contact in the Great Game has a tale for you (14881)
- The Life of Crime, Gang of Hoodlums card (18188)
- The Heron Tower (10784)
- All fear the Overgoat! (21411)
- The Western Tower: a Guest Room at the Brass Embassy (10804)

Does the A Really Nice Haircut card really still exist? I've been playing for almost a year and don't remember seeing it.
...
Maybe when I just started, I'm not sure. Hmm.

It's possible that it's only drawable at the Shuttered Palace, which is not where people usually camp out.

another idea, not sure if it's possible. But there are some cards which we might want protected sometimes and to discard other times. Would it be possible to move, rather than completely remove, the discardbutton? putting it in a different place would prevent accidental clicking, without denying that option.
if moving it freely isn't possible, perhaps making it smaller, and aligned to one side (rather than in the middle, like it usually is) could take it out of the normal discard button's click area, and that'd do the job. Perhaps you can shrink the box so that only the first letter D appears and the rest is cut off

it might be a good idea to add The Tower of Eyes: Behind closed doors at a Handsome Townhouse, to the list.
i find myself keeping it in my hand while i save up for requirements to advance a scheme, and/or while i do things to change the airs of london for different options
incidentally, how would i go about adding cards myself? where do you get the ID from?
Edit: I found the ID by using inspect element, 10798
I tried creating a new line in the sheet with that ID, but it doesn't seem to be working. After saving it, refreshing the page, disabling/reenabling the sheet, the townhouse card still has that discar button
div#opportunitiesSection > div#deckDrawSection.clearfix > ul[class^="hand-size"] > li > input.discard_btn[onclick="$('#opportunitiesSection').load('/Storylet/DiscardSometimesCard?eventid=10798', {cb: 1})"] /* A Tower of Eyes: Behind closed doors at a handsome Townhouse */
What's wrong with this line?

Thank you for making this!  I've just installed it to protect my Skin of the Bazaar which I'll need to keep in my hand for a few weeks probably. I was terrified of an accidental discard!

Huge Fallen London UI redesign landed.
Do you plan to update the extension for new layout+url?
If yes, do you need help?
If not, can we fork it and create updated version ourselves?

FIRST.
But seriously, this is good stuff.
Also, I can find eventIDs for fate cards, let me know if there's any interest in that.

This seems particularly useful. No longer will I have to worry about accidentally discarding A dusty bookshop, A little omen, or An Implausible Penance (yet again) - once I figure out how to work the thing, anyway. :-p
Thankyou, gazzien! :-D
(Edit: I did have a bit in my comment here saying I'd wait until it was Whitelisted rather than risking bad stuff, but it has long-since been added to the whitelist. I simply hadn't modified this comment accordingly. In other news, this thing benefits a little from tinkering - but it's been fantastic! ^_^ )

I think there has and that's why there's a white list as opposed to banning them all together, because extensions can carry over into bots.

hello, i'm back!
and thank you for your PMs, the new version works nicely.
I'd like to request that The Lady in Lilac be added to the list. she's pretty important for this festival, and she does have an option to dismiss her if you dont want to exchange things, iirc.
Also if you haven't already, please add De Gustibus, An Encounter at the Feast, and Celebrate the Feast of the Exceptional Rose!
important seasonal stuff
