Can we have an option to HIDE the twitter box

[DeeYouEllEll]

For those of us that don't want to see other folks conversations on a rolling screen?

Yes I would like to hide it too. I don't Twitter, I think it is the most pointless thing ever invented.

I want to hide it.

100% back the op;

Please get rid of that irritating self-indulgent pile of pap asap...

If you're running Firefox and have Adblock Plus installed, add "http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js" (without the quotes) to the list of sites to block and Robert's your auntie's live-in lover.

Does that block the ads too?

Thanks, Snorbs, it's gone!

Have installed Adblock Plus

Where can you put in the list of sites to block?

(this is a lifesaver)

Katymac: yes, it blocks ads too.

leavingonajetplane: go to the Firefox Tools menu, select Adblock Plus Preferences, click Add Filter (bottom left of the Adblock Plus Preferences window), then copy

widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js

and paste it into the box under New filter and click OK. Then just refresh the web page and the Twitter box should have disappeared.

thank you snorbs

PLease get rid, really annoying.
Very self indulgent for those twittereing

Snorbs I love you very much.

sorry for being self indulgent. it's just fun.

Please hide Twitter and any reference to Facebook.

and if i havent got firefox? can i do something similar?

Despite (or is it inspite) of my last post I'm on a Mac and I can't see any Twitter or Facebook.

what is the point of it?

I'm actually enjoying it now as I'm reading other MN'ers tweets (it still goes to their page) despite not being on it myself.

God yes, please get rid.
It is pissing me off no end.What in God's name is the point?

I'm having a conversation here-why do I want to know about one happening elsewhere?
It's as graceless as meeting up with a friend who then texts throguh entire thing.

Thanks Snorbs

I've never got the hang of Twitter but I've gone on there and it says it's over capacity and a big whale comes up. WTF???

Is this a huge social networking site that can't cope with too many people? That's pants!

Blows kisses to Snorbs

Why is mine empty? If it had stuff in I wouldn't want it, but I want the option!!

Stealth, mine was empty yesterday evening. Now I have blocked it. Bloody annoying it was.

""It's as graceless as meeting up with a friend who then texts throguh entire thing".

Quite true. And equally annoying and show-offish.
