problem with Yahoo Mail

I have blocked the ads on Yahoo Mail. The page loads with the area where the ad should be, blank. There is a button with an arrow on it that when clicked expands the mail across the page. In the page source, The button is refered to as Skyhide. Is there a way to get the page to load with out the button and use the whole page width?

Should I be using something else to accomplish this?

I am no good at coding.

NoScript might be able to do what you want even though it's not designed for that. Could you please post the HTML source of the button?

I have tried to copy and paste the html, but it triggers the site's spam filter.

I have a screenshot of the area in question. It seems I have removed the button that I mentioned earlier. I just want to get rid of that area in the red box.

The link for the screenshot gives me an IE error page even though I'm on SeaMonkey :?:

I was thinking you could use Script Surrogates for this but when checking that before posting I couldn't get the surrogate to run at the proper time. So now I'm thinking your best bet would be to use Stylish along with this user style:

Code: Select all

/* Based on http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/170161 */
@-moz-document domain(yahoo.com) {
#main {
width: 100% !important;
}
#theAd, #slot_REC {
display: none !important;
}
.panescroll #toolbar {
    right: 0px !important;
    }
    .panescroll #shellcontent {
    right: 0px !important;
}
}
If that doesn't work try searching userstyles.org for yahoo mail.
