How do I remove the star signs from people's profiles? I don't care what my friends' star signs are because I'm not an idiot.

That seems a bit offensive. Since the person you are requesting this information from put this information in, he must think it is interesting. Which... according to you, makes him an idiot. To me, the real idiot is the person that has to ask how to remove them... and does so in a very disrespectful way.

I think it's offensive to make generalisations and assumptions about people based on what time of year their birthday is. But I'm just weird like that.

I doubt anyone is taking them that seriously. Is it that hard to ignore them? Or are you just too tempted to make generalizations and assumptions when you see them that you have to have them removed?

Regardless, you are coming here looking for help from the author of the script.... and telling him that a feature he included could only be wanted by idiots. Does not seem too smart to me. You could have left off 'because I'm not an idiot' and it would have been a simple request. I know I would not help you if you came looking for help from me with that attitude.

Hey guys,

Personally I don't care about signs but I added it anyway cause I know some people would find it useful.

Eventually I will probably edit the script so that the age and sign are separate options and can be enabled/disabled independently, but that probably won't be very soon. It doesn't seem like a very high priority cause as ma1achai mentioned its easy to ignore.

If it really bothers you, for now you can simply comment out the line that adds sign information:
info = info + '<br /><span id="FBFsign">' + bday.getSign() + '</span>';

Age and sign are now separate options in the latest version of Facebook Fixer.
