    Permanently hide content from web pages using the Context Menu. Simply, click and "Remove it Permanently". Now includes previewing of items before removal, support for IFrame as well as lots of advanced features to make it easy for anyone to remove annoying content from web pages.

    I guess adblock just blocks it from view, this removes it for ever? I'd like to know also :D

    Adblock will just remove images and flash objects. This lets you remove any html from the page. So for example you can remove the quick reply box from the bottom of this page, adblock can't do that.

    That's worked a charm, capn'. Only thing is it still loads all the items then removes them once the page is finished loading which is really annoying.. Is there any way to stop it loading the item in the first place?

    You can undo the last one. Just right click and "undo last RIP".

    Yeah I did that. The only way I can think to undo it is to remove each one you added one by one until it comes back.

    Aha. I had it set to remove the Announcement table at the top, but it had just removed all similar items too.
