Is there a way to hide L&R?

[Saga]

Is there a friggen forum option to hide L&R? I liked it far better when it wasn't visible and would prefer to return it to that state so I don't accidentally click on that instead of the Garage (as I'm so used to the positioning now I don't really look at the links).

That and I'd prefer not to be reminded that cesspool of idiocy exists, clicking on links that have Xstatic1's name on them is like a goddamn magnet because I know that anything I read by her will make me laugh at how much of a downy she sounds like.

Yep. It's called "Close your eyes."

 

[zinfamous]

could be worse. you could click on P&N instead of OT, like I often do.

suck it up, I guess.

We should hide all other Forums, just because.

We should hide all other Forums, just because.

All we really need is like 8 forums.

Computer hardware, software, consumer electronics, off topic,politics and news, gaming, for sale/trade, and hot deals.

And maybe computer help as a 9th.

Really everything else could be consolidated or eliminated.
And tags could be added if people really need to sort and find certain types of topics.

Can we hide everything except OT and the garage?

I like my idea better, although I'm willing to settle for it just being for the OP.

Damnit guys thats not what I meant, I thought you could remove individual sections from the sidebar and I can't find how. The only one I don't want to show is L&R. It's an abomination.

Everyone knows what you meant. So damn you.

There's probably a script out there that can do it. Or someone could write one. If I knew how to code for greasemonkey I would do it.

How about you just don't click on it?

It's in the same place as the friggen Garage used to be and I don't look at the links, I just know where they are and click on them. I don't want to re-learn my mouse positions because they decided to un-hide something they (wisely) have had hidden since the new forum.

I can see it being a little inconvenient, but maybe not monumental enough to post it in OT. Might get some response in suggestion box, though in truth that forum has been pretty worthless, especially as of late. The people who can actually make concrete changes aren't active members.

cry moar. then maybe your tears will at least blur it a bit.

Make a Script that turns the OPs Mouse Cursor into the Link for L&R.

Fixed... I like how quickly this term caught on!

Delete your account. Guests cannot view the Love and Relationships sub-forum.

 

[CKent]

Log out, only login if you wanna post.

 

[Leros]

You'll get used to it in about 4 hours.

Still shows on the left side-bar, which I think is where he's looking.

I want to hide the "Peripherals" forum. Seeing it makes me cry. Advice?

 

[KeithTalent]

Greasemonkey is always the answer to these types of questions.

ah, this is the best solution to the OP's "problems." :thumbsup:

could have been a parody thread.

Here's a Stylish script that'll do it:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("forums.anandtech.com") {
#collapseobj_leftsidebar_1 tbody > tr:first-child + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr + tr { display:none }
}

This hides the forum listed at the position currently occupied by L&R. If L&R reappears you'll need to change the number of " + tr"s or something.

I think this is specific enough that in other browsers (anything but IE6) you could add just the one line that's inside the {}s as a general user style.
