🚀 go-pugleaf

I tried this earlier on (or a version thereof) because one forum user suggested that the pages loaded faster that way. I used a timing add-on for FF3 ("Hammerhead") which seemed to indicate that pages were slightly slower to load when stripped of the unwanted stuff. Here slow page loading is a problem so I wouldn't personally want to add to it, so I'll just not let my eye alight on what I don't want to see.

      So why in heck doesn't Adobe just run with something like this, and have
      all the useless avatar, points and ranking bling as a preferences option
      only?




It's being filtered at the user end, Fred. As far as I am aware, the software doesn't provide for it being filtered at the origin. The 'bling' is an inherent part of the product.

Anyway - for me, it's like being a vegetarian, and going to dinner with a friend who serves up a fish cooked with the head, eyes, tail, fins, everything. I say "I'm sorry, I'm a vegetarian, I can't eat that." So the friend brings back the fish with everything cut off and just the filleted flesh left on the plate. Sorry, but that's not solving the key problem - it's still not a vegetable.
