About DeviantTidy
DeviantTidy is a set of styles and scripts to improve the layout and usability of deviantART.
Ever since dAv5, many users have been unhappy with various aspects of dA's layout and design. Some decisions on font size, margins and spacing had clearly been neglected.
And so DeviantTidy was written, to claim back much of that wasted space! Inspired by some of janvanlysebettens 's CSS mods for Firefox, DeviantTidy was a very lightweight modification to fix comment boxes and various other assets on dA pages, to make things clearer and more streamlined. Since then, it's expanded to cover lots of other annoyances, big and small, to improve the look and usability of the site, and with a JavaScript interface, it's fully customizable too.
Features
- More efficient Comment Boxes: DeviantTidy reduces the minimum height and margins on comment boxes, and further reduces the size of signatures, so you can see more comments at once. You can also add scrollbars to really long comments.
- Hide and collapse elements: Hide social sharing buttons, 'More Like This' mini-galleries and other bloat from deviantART pages so you can focus on your task.
- Indent guides: A problem that has been around as long as nested comments is the difficulty you face in working out who replied to who in long and complex discussions. With DeviantTidy, just point at a comment to see guide-lines in the left margin, showing you the exact nest level the comment is on.
- Cleaner Forum threads: Thread listings are now easier to browse, with all unnecessary icons removed, and shorter table rows (one line high instead of two, doubling the number of threads you can see per screen).
- Floating comment box: If you want to be able to type your comment on a deviation or journal while looking at the original, without having to constantly scroll up and down the page, this feature allows you to make the reply box float above the page content, following you wherever you scroll. Press ALT+SHIFT+C to activate it.
- Hide thumbnails in deviation sidebar: Reduce distractions by hiding 'more from this artist' and 'more like this' mini thumbnails when viewing art.
- Hide the orange Upgrade to CORE ad in the page header (turned off by default).
- ...and many more!
Installation
In order to use Greasemonkey scripts, you need to install Greasemonkey for Mozilla Firefox, or Tampermonkey for Google Chrome.
FAQ
How can I check that DeviantTidy is working?
When you first install DeviantTidy (or the script component), a dialog will appear when you visit any DA page to let you know that it was successfully installed. You should also see a 'DeviantTidy Options' link under the user menu on the header navigation when you are logged in.
Can I use DeviantTidy with [insert your favourite skin or script here]?
DeviantTidy can be used safely in combination with other custom deviant skins and scripts because it does the very minimum amount of changes required to get the desired effect. In the rare event of clashes in styles or broken functionality, tell me about the issue, and include info about the other mods you are using.

Here goes another rant 
Anyway it kinda a problem, I'm currently using

This script remove the footer, so I gotta disable the script in order to access the option, perhaps you could include an option to move "dATIDY" to another spot? Global Command could be an option.

Well, I'd say it's kind of crazy to remove the entire footer, given that there aren't any ads down there. But still, your suggestion for a global menu command is a decent one. I'll see about adding that for the next version.

Well foolish me, seem like the Stylish version would be more compatible. *go check*

The mood selector only seems to show if I scroll down some then scroll back up. This kinda ruins the point of having it atop but thanks for your effort anyways
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's probably just the time it takes to load, not the scrolling which causes the delay. dA always has to fetch the mood list separately.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dont think its a problem of time 'cause its been over 30 secs and it still wont show. After scrolling then it shows.
BTW when viewing comments in your inbox, if you hit the reply button, the mood box gets cloned rather than moved: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OK, I think it's because dA assumes the reply box will always be out of view at the far bottom of the far, so it only bothers to load the mood list when it comes into view. If you bring it to the top prior to looking at it, the event won't fire. Not much I can do about that, I'm afraid!
Regarding clicking the Reply button, those reply boxes are special dynamic reply boxes - any number of those can be created and there is nothing I do to interfere with them.

YES. Thank you
I have badly missed those comment guidlines

Hey, me again. This time I have a few complaints/bugs.
When the journals contain long amounts of text, the box will often extend off the screen and make me scroll horizontally. Is that a bug with your "full width" settings or is dA just stupid?
Also the commands box on the user pages freak out when set to normal position instead of center screen. I dunno why.
If you want, I can try disabling everything else I have and see if these problems still occur, but I think it has to do with your code.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For your information, the really wide message centre bug is not the fault of deviantTIDY because it occurs when it's switched off too. It annoys me as well and I'll be reporting the bug. It seems to go away when certain messages are deleted.
Secondly, for the user-commands glitch, it's likely you have some other script like deviantSTATS that modifies some part of the profile boxes. You should be able to fix this by opening the deviantTIDY options and changing the position of the user commands.
That should help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, I didn't know if that was dT or dA causing the wide message problem. Sorry for that one.
I don't user deviantSTATS anymore. I got rid of it when it stopped working back on v5. It was kinda useless anyways. I just wanted the commands on the side where I was used to them being. I have them sitting in the middle right now because they act strangely on the side.

Yeah? When should I expect the "extension update"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Already done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wonderful. So what did you manage to do wrong to make it freak out like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really me... It's just the way dA did the whole command-bar thing... the way it's supposed to pop open and display above the rest of the content when you hover over it... It's a temperamental design, you might say.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is. I've never liked animated page mods. Much to messy for my tastes and not easy to tweak.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Damn... Looks like the userpage commands glitch is my responsibility after all. I guess I haven't tested it in a while since I always have them in the center. Do you find it only happens on your own page?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Righty... Well if you check through your scripts and styles I'm sure you'll find the culprit - otherwise if it's working for you now, then that's cool.

I have a question. I hope you don't mind me asking. My only problem I am having is that it doesn't tell you how old the forum threads are on the forum's page. Is there any way I could take out the script related to the forum thread selection page? If so will I have to use the stylish version (I am using the FF extension right now)

I was just about to ask this question!
I feel like those kids that raise their hand up to the sky only to see the other kid who got picked first be able to tell about the trip to the candy factory
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That's a very fair comment. I'm not sure what my reasoning was for hiding that in the first place, but it's been like that since early versions. Bringing it back was very easy, so you should expect to see them again in the next version.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
Awesome! Thanks for adding my suggestion in the update!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
So to know when the next version is out I'll have to watch you?
Very sly of you
Also, I was just about to ask the question zaiger420 did.

Haha... You don't need to if you don't want to, since deviantTIDY will automatically update if you've got the extension.

Hi I was just wondering. Does this script change the llama icon? --->

Yup, it does. Creator's name is ~cyberia23

It works now, thanks for the help dude.

'You recognise the header links by their icons'
Effectiveness dulled somewhat by dA's decision to use the same icons for 'My Gallery' and 'Browse'.
But great anyhow!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's very true. I distinguish between them by having them at opposite ends of the toolbar.

If you type "--" anywhere in a message on a new line, deviantTIDY converts it to the long signature line instead of the real "--" before signatures.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
This is true, but only in the event that the user types two linebreaks, a --, and another newline, exactly. This is quite unlikely under normal circumstances.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't do anything in the message centre (as signatures don't display there [one deviant's did. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They probably use auto-paste of some sort. I've seen that from some people. Clearly they don't know how to use signatures, or they're so desperate for everyone to see them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not a technical term... Some come in the form of GM scripts, some are extensions, and some are purely done by the mere act of CTRL+V on each comment.

Cool website in your sig, but perhaps I'll enjoy it better if you took away the rainbowz!
Nice Japanese thingamabob, by the way.

I'll change the background graphic soon. :B Or perhaps it change every time you refresh the page.
