I didn't mind the last three years' unobtrusive progress bar, but the shithead admins have gone and added a fucking marquee.

WHY!!!??????

.fundraiser-box { display: none; }

Never mind, they added a [dismiss] link which perma-hides the crap for IPs as well as logged-in users.

I think that is perfectly acceptably behavior and I would recommend not adding to the subscriptions given this very welcome development.

- that's a marquee? How sucky.
I didn't notice thanks to that little snippet in my userContent.css:

Code: Select all

/* Disable marquee display */
marquee {
  -moz-binding: none; display: block; height: auto !important;
  /* This is better than just display:none !important;
   * because you can still see the text in the marquee,
   * but without scrolling.
   */
}

wikipedia is a neologism... those are bad.

Code: Select all

#A(href*=.wikipedia)

avoid loading useless content
