How can I opt out of that little tweets thing that hovers around?
It is an annoyance and when I click on it I get sent to the forum search page, a seemingly silly result. Perhaps if I had a twitter account (or whatever is needed) something more useful would happen.
For now it would be nice if there was an option in the User control panel to opt out of this.
I second the notion. Down with the tweet bubble!
I don't want it either.
here's what i see, before and after clicking
Well, reading the forum actually helps.
Well that makes some sense. Just doesn't happen for me. In any case I was pointed to the following thread and have been able to kill it: http://straightrazorpalace.com/fo...tweet-bar.html. See post number 5 by northpaw.Quote:

Don't tell me to resize the screen - I need to be able to read it too.
So, site developers, owners, administrators, is there any chance you can make this voluntary or are the ads more important than the content of these various pages? I'd click on ads as I do with the classifieds when I want to see what's new or for a specific product that I want/need, but it is becoming obvious that what the razor users are saying is quickly becoming secondary. Maybe it's becoming too expensive for the site to exist without the advertisers contributions, but when it goes over that cusp and it becomes all insistent advertising and the potential buyers go away frustrated, the ads become real moot real fast.
FWIW

i got rid of it with ad block
Yeah its pretty annoying. I use a smartphone browser, which has a smaller screen, and its a pain.
I hate twitter on priciple. Just like face book, it's an application for people to upload lots of information without actually saying anything worth listening to.
I'm just toolazy to get rid of it
I'm running Mozilla Firefox with NoScript seen here. I partially allow java through the NoScript. When someone posts a utube video or whatever I have to "temporarily allow all this page" to see it. When I do that the tweet thing appears on the left of my screen.
I hold the cursor over it and right click. A menu appears and NoScript is one of the options. I left click on that and then click on "forbid Tweeter" or whatever it's called. It disappears again.
For those of us using a slimmer browser than Firefox (say Chrome or Opera) it isn't so easy to get rid of... at least, I don't know how.
Beyond that, Twitter is a disgusting example of how insipid and shallow we've become...what on earth is worth saying that can be accurately and effectively communicated in 140 characters or less?
Further, why should I go to Twitter for 'more razor chatter'? All the razor information I ever could need is here, on SRP forums or chat. All this does is give Twitter a few more pagehits on the advertisements, and annoy the *(&@^ out of otherwise faithful SRP members like myself.
Can we PLEASE get rid of it? It's a terrible idea...
Amen!Quote:
