It uses scripts that can modify a page to your liking. I just used the pkLaunch script to use Yahoo Music! on Linux/FireFox, for example.

[Mr Smiley]

Install the extension, then download the scripts.

 

[ManBearPig]

all the user scripts seem kinda worthless though.

Remove the "My Menu" sidebar and other space-wasting elements of the AnandTech forums (and stickies)

I installed it but I still have the "My Menu" bar. :-/

Any ideas here? ^^^^^^^

Can you post a screenshot of Anandtech with the script enabled? Did you hcange anything in the script before installing it?

It's working just fine on this machine, so I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it.

No modifications made. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.3 and the latest GreaseMonkey and the script from your link.

Can you go to Tools > JavaScript Conolse, then hit "Clear" on the console, and refresh the AT forums, then paste any errors that show up here?

I found the problem...

Don't know if it's everyone's system or just mine but for me this forum thread link is...

When I went into the GreaseMonkey script links they were this...

I changed them to this...

**Note the '//' after forums.anandtech.com

Works like a charm now!

That's wierd. You seem to be the only one with messed up forum URLs. Mine only have a single slash.

Glad you got it working, though.

I don't know why either. I'm running FireFox 1.5.0.3 with just a few extensions. FasterFox, AdBlock, FlashBlock, and now GreaseMonkey.

I like your script. Thanks! :thumbsup:
