Any way to change the whie  background colour? It is no longer pleasing to my eyes and I want to change that shit.

Install stylish for firefox, then create a new style for gamrconnect.vgchartz.com and put in this code.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/") {
body {background: #000;}
}

set #000 to any hex color you want.

 

Personally I use this:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/") {
body {     background: #fafafa; }
#forum_buddy {    margin-left: 1170px;    margin-top: 85px;    background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #fafafa;    border-radius: 0px;    box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000;}
#footer_bar_links {    visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
#footer_bar_affiliates {    visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
#footer_bar_corporate {    visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
#network_box_wrap {    width:1px;    height: 1px;    visibility: hidden;}
.around_network_wrap {    float:right;    margin:-340px 0 0 0px;    height: 1px;    visibility: hidden;}
.network_header {   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
}

Makes it look like this:

Basically just add in any html code you want, to overwrite what is already there, find the background color (in this case fafafa, and replace all instances of it with the color you want and you're done.

Ummmm......that second post still looks the same to me.

But I do not dislike it.


So vgcharts buddy on the right, and no ads/footer, and no black background is the same to you?

I think the OP meant the white backdrop that all the posts are written on.

Though yours is certainly useful. White could help make it look less prominent when i'm browsing at work/class.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

How about Google Chrome?

I recommend adding the following for inconspicuous work/school browsing:

.user-signature {   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
.forum-user-avatar {   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
.user-recent-badges{   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
div.additional-user-info{   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
.user-ranking-wrap{   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}
.gamrconnect_logo{   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}

Gets rid of all the sigs, user icons and game related subicon stuff that give the game away, as well as the site logo so people can't see blatently what site youre on.

Optionally, the following.

.post-body img{   visibility: hidden;    height:0px;}

Removes all posted images, too.

I'd love to swap the white forum for something else. Many forums let you do this user settings.

I can write you a script for it.

Results in:

Great for covert browsing, especially if workfriends/classmates know about vgc.
