..this site: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=5

It's the bottom left one with the title "Sponsor Links"

Picture of it (marked with a blue box) here:

I had Adblock Plus and NoScript temporarily disabled to take this screenshot. I have gotten rid of all the other ads and the whole left column, save for the "Sponsor Links" one. But because I cant get rid of that one, the left column still hogs like 250 pixels in width, which really sucks when you only have a 1024x768 pixel resolution. I really need to get rid of that one, if possible. I am all out of ideas now, having spent the last 4 hours trying to figure it out. Maybe I'm just dense, but all I know is I'm stuck.

I know there's a "Remove column" link, but that only leads to a subscription signup page to become a paying member. Not an option for me.

Thanks in advance for any and all help I can get. God knows I need it.

Why not hide the sidebar entirely instead of hiding each part separately?

Code: Select all

sherdog.net##td[name=sidebar]

You see, this is why my mom says I'm "special". I've spent 4 hours trying to block each part seperately, and you solved this problem for me in a few minutes by thinking outside the box.

HUGE thanks, man!

I owe you one. If I'm ever in Oslo I'll look you up and buy you a beer.

Oops, why am I using raw CSS when I meant to use the usual syntax? The rule should be:

Code: Select all

sherdog.net#td(name=sidebar)

I'll be glad to welcome you in Oslo. You should hurry however, I won't be staying here too long

The first one worked just fine though

Yes, they work both - I just don't like to use raw CSS unless it is really necessary.
