It's working. Foxfire 1.5.0.4, British English version, bootleg Windows 2000 that came with my cheap eBay refurbished ThinkPad.

Works great! I tested it on journals I know force the Nav Strip.

I am so grateful to you for enabling me to avoid seeing all this annoying crap.

Awesome. This has been a long time coming, you guys have been nice'n'patient.

Works for me, too -- running Firefox 1.5.0.4 with Stylish on OS X.

Thanks a lot! :D

Aww, we're sisters in browsing!

I'm glad it's working for ya'll. I'm a NavStrip aficionado myself, so this is one extension I'm not gonna use.

^___^ That there's an option to turn navstrip off (despite it being turned on by someone else) is something that makes me very happy indeed.

Thank you very much for working on it. ♥

Well, as soon as kunzite1 pointed out the html body padding thing, it was done in a couple minutes! So most of this goes to him, because I'm not sure when I would've sat down to figure out why just killing it with "display: none" was leaving that big ol' space.

Firefox 1.5.0.4 (UK English), Windows XP, using the GreaseMonkey script.

It works perfectly. Thanks for figuring out how to get rid of the Nav Strip on other people and communities' journals. ^_^

Works perfectly for me: OS X 10.4.6 (US), Firefox 1.5.0.4 (US), GreaseMonkey.

Finally I don't have to see that pesky thing, thank you!!!

The Stylish sheet worked fine. It was a little weird to visit the_unadvocate and see no entries on the journal, though. I thought something had gone wrong and the sheet was somehow (don't ask me how, I know CSS pretty well, and I couldn't see anything) blocking the journal's entries as well. :P There are some entries in the archive, but none of them are visible. Eh?

I had various random note type entries there, but then the ad demographic targetting started to pick up on all the public entries, so I friended them all to see an untargetted spread when I was doing ad content checks, since she's the account I use to collect ad examples.

Now I feel like I should make some entries there and make a secondary Sponsored+ account for my own purposes and testing! So thank you for talking about that; you're right, it is kind of weird to not have entries on a test journal.

Good to know the Stylish is working fine, though!

Heh. Speaking of ads: Am I the only one who thinks this guy doesn't look like he's giving you the thumbs-up? Every time I see him, I have to remind myself it's not a rude gesture. Even just a few lines of pixels to show the fingers would probably help. :)

Haha, no, you're not. Do you remember the user submitted ad contest? Someone did an entry like this.
