Greetings,

While the effort is always appreciated, I don't see this working at all.
I tried so far, Firefox 4 and Chrome 10.0.684.204.
Nothing the questions are there on my newsfeed and on my profile page, and the Questions link on the right side is still there.

Please let me know what am I missing.

Thank you.

Hi.

I am unsure of the success of this script in Chrome (I strongly recommend using the Hide Facebook Questions Chrome extension.)

However, I am currently using the script on the current FF4 with the current Greasemonkey and it is working fine.

I have recently updated the script, as it didn't work on https://www.facebook.com, I would suggest installing this update, and ensuring Greasemonkey is enabled and try this script again.

Hope this helps.
Sean

Hi,

I think it is best you block or hide the following items (so I read on http://www.ampercent.com/turn-off-facebook-ques...):
###pagelet_adbox
##.adsCell
facebook.com##.fbQuestionsPollClickTarget
facebook.com##.pas.fbQuestionsPollResultsBar
facebook.com##.pollResultsBar
facebook.com##.fbQuestionsBlingBox
facebook.com##.pollOptions
facebook.com##.fbEigenpollRow
facebook.com##A[title=\"Ask specific people to answer\"]
facebook.com##[href*=\"/home.php?sk=question\"]
facebook.com##.fbEigenpollPager
facebook.com##.fbQuestionFollowLink

Also, is it possible to create an update-checker which notifies you when a new version is available? => Like the one facebook application post remover (http://www.facebook.com/fbapr or http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/92953) uses?

Thx in advance!

Hi.

As far as I can tell, adding them items is not needed and they are intended for question blocking using AdBlock.

As per your other request, I have added update functionality using the Script update checker from http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/20145 so from 1.3 onwards, users should be notified of any updates to the script.

Thx for the auto update checker :-)

If I go to a person's profile, it still shows the question-topics.

Finally got a chance to tinker around, and added code to remove them items on user profiles.
