Stop blowin' my cover! Get rid of the "BBoys' banner off the top of the mb pages!

[b i o n i c]

i get paranoid that someone around me will see that it keeps popping up on my screen and then go looking for my posts.

i wish they'd get rid of it or offer a stealth/plain version or that someone would post a link to a page/program that would do this for me.

[The Notorious LOL]

plus its just embarassing to have people know you post on a beastie boys board.

[wanton wench]

me too! me too! this is needed. my mouse is getting tired of minimizeing.

[ericlee]

so far, I've had these comments from my coworkers looking over my shoulder:

"the Beastie Boys, aren't they an acid rock band?"- older guy

"I didn't expect you'd like the Beastie Boys, I thought they were like the New Kids on the Block"- female coworker

[Sarky Devotchka]

YEAH, I WANT MY NERDNESS TO BE SECRETED!

please.

[Bob]

if you could format the board so that it looks like an excel spreadsheet, that would be great, thanks

best idea ever

[b i o n i c]

Or just work with a bunch of foreigners who don't know what a Beastie Boy is.


they might think you're a pediphile that also likes to bang german shepards

[b i o n i c]

this is also a good time to say that i was just kidding about my boss and that she's great and her farts smell like roses and all that.

I've gotten in the habit of

Click... (pageloads)IMMEDIATELY SCROLL DOWN A BIT. (y)


By the way -- you might actually geta response to this if it were in the BB.com section.

[b i o n i c]

i do that scroll thing too, but i hate it and forget sometimes. i thought about posting there, but thought i'd get a better response here because more people would reply and tpk and minton would have to look here to move it.

plus im sure they search their names to repond to people

tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton tpk minton

i once saw a program called xltris, which was a tetris game made up to look like an excel spreadsheet. i didn't play it, but it sounds genius.

As long as you wouldnt have to use the tab key continiously

[kaiser soze]

change the language settings for Windows

your coworkers won't be able to read it and nor will you

[DandyFop]

The only one who sees me on this nerdfest is my cat.

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, i do the scroll down a bit thing too. always have a window open that i can quickly maximise.
my design teacher last year made some assy comment about me always being on here. i now want to punch him in the kidneys.

[Ace42X]

If you are using firefox, and you should be, simply adblock "http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/images/header.gif" and the problem is solved.

how do you do that?

[Ace42X]

how do you do that?

There are a couple of methods. Right click any image on the page (preferably an avatar) and choose "adblock image" and put the URL I pasted in.
Alternatively, you can use ctrl-shift-P to bring up the adblock preferences, paste the URL in and click "add".

The adblocker plugin you need (EVERYONE needs, it is vital part of firefox's no pop-ups, no spam, no annoying banners glory) is linkde below:

http://adblock.ethereal.net/Adblock_v.5/adblock-05-dev.xpi
Click that to install the plugin.

http://adblock.mozdev.org/
^^^ URL for the adblock site.

What version do you have?

I have 1.0.4 and it doesn't respond to CNTR-SHIFT-P, "help" says nothing about "adblock", and right-clicking will only give me the option to block all images from beastieboys.com or not.

[jennyb]

I know what you mean about that banner at the top. I always quickly shoosh it up and out of the window. Doesn't help that there's this trademark blue color that let's err one know that I'm on here. Meh, oh well. Anybody gives me shit about being on this site so much they're then dead to me.

[na§tee]

on lastminute.co.uk, a holiday website, it has a link on the top which says "the boss is coming - look busy!" which goes to this (http://www.lastminute.com/site/main/boss_page_spreadsheet.html). haha @ 'iterate sexy partnerships'.

1.0.7 - but you need the adblock *plugins*. I did put links up to download the plugins. And they are pretty vital to a satisfactory firefox usage session - how else do you kill all the adverts?

[HotAndWet]

haha my brother used to always say "All you ever do is go to the beastie boys website", he must've thought I was just posting in beastie general talking about my collection of beastie boys paintings or something. :eek:

No need, I pointed out how people who have a problem with it can sort it. Why mess up the layout for everyone else?
