Why not a flex-width forum?

Regardless of performance, the scripts are a HUGE relief.

Thats a major clue where the performance problem is.

Here the figures are as follows in a series of automatic tests -

Results using the "Stylish" script that provides full width and no avatars:-

http://adobeforums.adobe.com/thread/235978?tstart=0 displayed five times with empty cache and five times with primed cache:-

Empty cache
Median 35894ms Average 36262ms
Primed cache
Median 8363 Average 8424

Results without the script:-

Empty cache
Median 33783 Average 34016
Primed cache
Median 7594 Average 8003

So here at least in this test, the script slows things up a little - or maybe in the ten minutes that passed between the running of the "with" test and the "without" test, speeds here improved for other reasons. So - your mileage may vary with this.

Whether you'd expect the script to make things slower or faster depends on how it works. If it's stripping stuff out before the browser processes it, perhaps it could make things faster, if it was stripping out so much stuff that the operation of stripping was making a significant saving on what the browser processes. If it's stripping things out after the browser has processed it and before the result is passed to the display, you'd expect it to run slower due to the double processing. I suspect someone would know the answer to that.

I'm not kidding. I got a major speed boost! This should be installed by everyone having a problem.

Wow! Thanks Ann. And things load faster without all the garbage too!

First, you need the Stylish 0.5.9 FF plug-in which you can get from:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

Then Eric and Mark Boyd's Scripts

There are two parts:
Eric's "Force Full Browser Width":

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("adobeforums.adobe.com") {

#jive-wrapper {
width:100% !important;
background-color: #ffffff !important;
background-image: none !important;
}

}

--------------
And Mark's (which I have named "Death to Avatars" in my installation!

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("adobeforums.adobe.com") {
#jive-wrapper {
width:100% !important;
background-color: #ccc !important;
background-image: none !important;
}
#jive-body-main {
background-color: #ccc;
}
.jive-thread-reply .jive-thread-reply-body-container {
background-color: #ddd !important;
}
.jive-author-avatar-container {
display: none !important;
}
}

--------

I loaded both of them although Mark has now posted a combined Script:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("adobeforums.adobe.com") {
#jive-wrapper {
width:100% !important;
background-color: #ccc !important;
background-image: none !important;
}
#jive-body-main {
background-color: #ccc;
}
.jive-thread-reply .jive-thread-reply-body-container {
background-color: #ddd !important;
}
.jive-author-avatar-container {
display: none !important;
}
}

I am getting a "service unavailable" when I try to get the code. Does anyone have it?

Adobe obviously failed to employ the right people on the back-end!

Thanks for the style!

Too bad it couldn't be set up from the backend. :(

Awsome! Absolutely awesome!

Thank you very much, Eric @ MCA.

I installed the Greasemonkey version of the scriptas I already have Greasemonkey running afplonk! and it is an absolute joy.

If heavyboots is your alter ego, double thanks for this.
