Hurrah! Can you make it possible to remove all the Facespace type stuff in the next update? Plzkthxbai.

Thanks for the tip on the noscript, Vigilans. I was playing around with it with no success. I'll do what you did.

Are you sure that wasn't my noscript tip?

Actually yes, sorry. But after I did it I could no longer access the discussion forums page. I am seriously non technical and easily confused by things like this. I now hate this toolbar even more. There's no way I am going to make things on WP public on Facebook, so it's all just a huge pointless annoyance.

You shouldn't block wrongplanet.net. Only sharethis.com and that will remove the bar, and allow you to access the discussion forum.

I have blocked:

google-analytics.com
sharethis.com
googleadservices.com
googlesyndication.com
gosquared.com
scorecardresearch.com

I do not have blocked:

google.com
quantserve.com (not sure what this is)
cloudfront.net (not sure what this is)
wrongplanet.net

Usually with noscript, it starts with everything blocked, and you have to explicitly unblock things. I usually unblock things that look relevant to the webpage I'm on until I can access the webpage properly.

The little red circle with a line through it in the lower right corner is noscript, and you have to let things through. A lot of stuff is pretty safe, but it does get rid of those annoying bars and such if you identify the correct source of said bars.

This page explains how to use noscript:

I hope it helps, and I apologize for assuming that everyone would just know what to do once they installed it.

I just leave everything blocked, personally, except a handful of things. That includes WP, blocked- the functionality is not that affected, you just cannot click the emoticons to use them, or create italics/bold/quotes etc with the buttons. Gotta do it manually. I don't really mind. 2 seconds typing out [img] or [b] etc is a small price to pay for my peace of mind

Okay the scroll bar on the right side of the screen is gone now. I can still navigate with the arrow keys but my mouse-wheel has zero functionality with WP atm

Interesting. I use AdBlock and NoScript, plus I impose my own CSS to get rid of the rubbish at the top of the page, bottom of the page and left of the page. I've not seen this extra garbage.

It's sad, the extent one has to go to, to make the site autism-friendly.

when i added noscipt, i lost some other tools, like the drop-down menu under "Community" and the ability to click emoticons. do you have that problem?

Yep it blocks those unless you whitelist WP. I do things the old fashioned way, I type [img], [b], etc...

the only fix appears to be to uninstall AdBlock & NoScript

Oh My...it's full of ads

Edit: Popup no appears when Adblock allows ads for WP.
