Patik's Journal: Nationstates ad trick

I know a bunch of you visit Nationstates often (or am I the only one still doing it?). You've probably cursed at that ugly giant yellow ad at the top that only appears when you log in (why?). You probably cursed a second time when you realized your fancy adblocking plugin wouldn't get rid of it. But I figured out how to do it, using a CSS page. IE, Mozilla, and Opera users can do this (here's how).

Paste the following in your .css file:

/* Remove ad table for NationStates */
table[border="1"][width="100%"][cellpadding="2"][cellspacing="4"]
{display: none ! important}

Be sure to remove any spaces in the second line added by the Slashdot lameness filter. The third line should have a space on each side of the exclamation mark.

Restart your browser and the ad should be gone.

nice tip

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of using a local css in this manner.
