Power to the tweeple
I love Twitter, and I love user stylesheets.
Put them both togther and what have you got? A solution to the problem that seems to be bugging quite a few people right now — the persistently unpredictable election toolbar from twitter.
Right, we can fix that with this little user stylesheet I whipped up:
Turn off Twitter’s Election 08 toolbar
Twitter is a great service and has highlighted topics in the Twittersphere with its Election 08 toolbar. The problem is that they give it to everyone and its behaviour is erratic — you can close it, but you can’t predict when it will open again.
This user style should remove the Election 08 toolbar when it is in its expanded and its collapsed states.
Enjoy
UPDATE: of course, you might enjoy this more if you were actually able to get to the user stylesheet. It seems that userstyles.org is not responding properly right now, so I’ve put the CSS file here for you:

User stylesheets are awesome… to save bandwidth at WDS08 I used m.twitter.com with a user stylesheet to tweak the size of the input field. Simple but useful hack!
