Ha! Someone else did a perfectly fine job already. I highly recommend their script over my solution. Greasemonkey is without a doubt the right way to do this.

Hmm…I’m pretty sure it didn’t used to do that, but to be honest, myspace comments are a feature I don’t use very often, if ever, so it’s possible this is something I overlooked.

To be perfectly honest, there are now a number of things that annoy me about the specific userstyles I chose, and I haven’t taken the time to tweak them. In addition, I’ve come to believe that this might be a job more suited to greasemonkey, which can easily traverse the DOM to remove extra style tags from places they don’t belong. When I get around to it, I’ll contact those of you who posted a comment using a real email address, and I will certainly update the blog.

Don’t hold your breath, though. Personal projects don’t usually get pushed high on my priority list.

This disables the link to post comments and view all comments.

Hey man I found one problem with the sheet, It kills the links to leave someone a comment. If you ever end up fixing that in the style sheet let me know so I can come get a new one.

Thought about adding lines to disable the changing of the mouse cursor?

Hey, thanks for this great tip. I’m writing a small tutorial on how to use the firefox extension Stylish. And I’d like to use your CSS for myspace as a great example of how to use stylish to fix a webpage. The thing I like about stylish is you can easily turn it on and off, where putting it in the chrome is a little more of an always on solution. So with this, when you come across a bad myspace layout, you can click on your stylish icon and turn it into something that you can actually read. Thanks again, and let me know if you have any problems with me using your CSS.

This is sweet! It probably works much better with the Firefox extension 'Stylish'... I use this with multiple GM scripts to totally KILL all MyS crud. On Mac OS X. So, y'all should try this.

Sweet on. Haven’t tried it because I am not running Firefox daily until they are fully OS X savvy, but I applaud the effort to clean the MySpace mess.
