Happening to me to. I think Facebook have managed to create some kind of anti-GM feature, whether intentionally or not! Grr.

Hey thanks so much for this script. I've been using it for ages, and it works great. My only problem is that when I visit a facebook page, I have to manually refresh in order for the greasemonkey script to kick in. This is a problem I have with all Greasemonkey scripts for Facebook (and only Facebook; my Gmail ones work fine). I have Firefox 3. Does anyone know why this happens for me? Is there some setting in Firefox I can use to fix it?

Duly updated to work with the new design!

Thanks for the heads up. Very busy at the moment but will see what I can do!

something's up again;
you can look out to update this script quite often for the next few weeks, because facebook's going to be carrying out another graphic overhaul across the site.
and I think it's going to suck, but eh.
anyway, I'd edit the script myself, but I'm really not too savvy, any updates would be awesome, thanks

what the crap?

amendment: it fails to work only on my homepage. on profile pages, it still works fine, but not my home page. which was the great thing about it, with the news feed ads that it blocked, and also all those stupid hovering things about networks that appear above the news feed.

this script stopped working today.
I love it, though. it could be a problem on my computer, which I doubt, but if it's still working, someone please tell me so.

This script is blocking the bottom footnote bar. The one that starts with Facebook © 2008 and has links the about facebook link etc.

I'm never subjected to these items, so have not been able to test the code - which ought to work. If it doesn't, could you send me the raw source code of the page? Thanks.

Ok, finally found another one. They show up in the news feed and link to pages like this:

These are the ID and Class details:

.feed_icon clearfix
.feed_story_wrapper clearfix
.header_container clearfix
.feed_story_header
.social_ad_main_anchor .social_ad_title ad_portion_title
Pita Pit Open Late.
.social_ad_sponsored_label

.social_ad_main_anchor .clearfix
.feed_story_body
.feed_picture_right .social_ad_body
The Pita Pit on Broadway is open until 3 am every weekend! Stop in after a night on the town for your favorite pitas and salads!

I have fixed something, but it doesn't sound like what you describe. Could you provide a link to, or more detailed description of, an affected page, if these "social ads" are still around? Thanks!

 
zac echola User

I see "social ads" are popping up. Please update when you get a chance.

Or not, I won't mind seeing the social ads for a few weeks. Gives me a chance to delete some of those annoying "friends."

As soon as I am bothered by an advertisement, rest assured I will update the script! I do have adblock plus installed, so if there's something specific filtered by that, please let me know here - as I may not spot it!

 
Simon14 User

Will there be an update fro the new advertisements?

Thanks for removing the flyers on the left.

 
ms609 Script's Author

Ads in the mini-feed won't be displayed. Let me know if there's any more clutter you'd like this app to remove!

 
ms609 Script's Author

I'll look into it. And GeoLogic support my coding efforts, achnowledgement seems appropriate...

 
engtech Scriptwright

Could you make it remove the "stories.php" links?
