Description
This is a procedure to remove the "More Like This" section next to each deviation and the "More Like This" overlay that appears at the bottom of thumbnails. I don't want to be scrolling to click the 'download' button, so this is my solutionDo not tell me this solution doesn't work for your specific browser. If you have a solution for users using a different browser, feel free to post it below. I do not want you to tell me this isn't good enough for you. I'm not here to fix dA's messes; I've provided a solution that worked for me, not a promise that I'll make everyone happy.

Much love to you, Parallellogic. No more MLP porn on my page (seriously, how is that in ANY way similar to what I draw, DA??).

This definitely saves me the hassle of accidentally clicking on the thumbnails in MLT. It's frustrating when that happens. And recently, it's been such an eyesore of late..... Thanks for making this~

Thank you. I couldn't browse dA without getting murderously angry. Still pissed as hell that visitors to my pages will see it more than anything else on the page, but at least I can forget its existence.

Hi. While looking for a way to get rid of the new dating site banner I found "deviantArt-cleanup", a cool little script, at userstyles.org: [link] .
Dating ? Really? How low can dA go?!?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for the link, I've added it to the deviation description
I'll presume you're being sarcastic, it's an April Fool's Day joke that'll be gone tomorrow (it just prompts you to send a note to a random user, it has nothing to do with actual dating).
I will say it's odd that the final URL (that prompts you to send a note after you fill out the dating form) contains "reticulating-splines" - that's been a cornerstone piece of jargon from Maxis's Sim games. dA also introduced llama badges as an April Fool's day Joke a few years ago, llamas are another recurring theme in Maxis games.

In all truth I forgot the date . . .DOH! But they probably will have an annoying promo item in that same format and spot all too soon, so I'm glad that the clean-up script is there.

Alternatively, users with the Adblock Plus addon for either Firefox or Chrome can hide that element using a filter.
For Firefox, just click on the ABP button and choose "Select an element to hide." Hover the mouse over More Like This until the whole box (including the text Browse More Like This) has a highlighted box around it. Left click; a dialogue box will pop up. Click inside the first text line and remove any text which comes before deviantart. Ex: morncreek.deviantart.com##.deviation-mlt-preview-body becomes deviantart.com##.deviation-mlt-preview-body . Click "Add element hiding rule."
(To undo this filter, click the ABP button and choose "Filter preferences..." Click the tab labeled "Custom Filters." Click on "Element Hiding Rules." If you do not see any filters to the right, then click Actions and choose "Show/hide filters" from the drop-down list. Find the filter "deviantart.com##.deviation-mlt-preview-body", right-click it, and choose Delete. Close. You will have to refresh any open deviantart web page(s) in order for the change to be noticeable.)
For Chrome, just click on the ABP button and choose "Create easy filter." Hover the mouse over More Like This until the whole box (including the text Browse More Like This) is shaded. Left click. Inside the dialogue box which pops up, remove any text that comes before deviantart. Ex: morncreek.deviantart.com##.deviation-mlt-preview-body becomes deviantart.com##.deviation-mlt-preview-body . Click "Add."
(To undo this filter, right-click the ABP button and choose Options. Click the tab labeled "Add your own filters." Find and select the filter "deviantart.com##.deviation-mlt-preview-body"; click "- Remove selected" on the right. Close the tab. You will have to refresh any open deviantart web page(s) in order for the change to be noticeable.)

I tried this and for some reason it didnt work with it

I know... this is really old but... does this affect other people who are seeing our work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh crud... Then I'll have to live with unrelated posts, unless someone starts adding my deviations to their collections..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I mean, if you have the filter code and then use it, you can only not see the more like this feature.

Ohh I see... I'm not that good in those sort of stuff either so... yeah :/

You're quite welcome. I'm glad to be of use.

I definitely think the More Like This function should have been optional.
thank you so much!

I have rather a love hate relationship with 'More Like This'.
Ever since they implemented this feature, I've been adding tons of deviants to my watch list; which is nice, but now I get anywhere from 50-200 deviations to go through on a daily basis.
So I'll definitely try this, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your solution to that annoying "More Like This"!
I'm using Internet Explorer 8 though; how do I get rid of "More Like This" in my browser?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know, if you figure it out, please let me know and I'll add it to the above
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll certainly let you know if I do figure out how to hide "More Like This" when using Internet Explorer, but I'm unlikely to, since I'm not really enough of a computer boffin for that! Sorry!

Thanks so much for this! It was really easy to do and I'm not even the most tech savvy person around!

THANK YOU! I don't have a problem with the scrolling, but when I see thumbnails on the side I have to click and fave... and then I get more thumbnails... and more... MAKE IT STOP, OH, MAKE IT STOP!

ARRRGHH! Now the exploiting bastards are adding pressure to print, with a new promo banner "Your deviation is large enough to print", which is ridiculous because it is right above the "Enable Print" button. I tried to puzzle out the code to see if I could adapt what you've done, but it is just too complex for me. Can you come up with a script to hide this new intrusion?
I will be so grateful. THANKS!

Please provide a link to the page you are referring to and a screen capture of what you are seeing.

Ok, follow the instructions here [link] for your browser then use this code:
div.submit-help-bubble { display: none !important }

You are amazing! Something like this makes such a difference for me as I use dA, and I also like the nose-thumbing aspect.
What kind of code is this?
Thank you again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is html I believe, the extension inserts the code into the page to hide certain elements

It works a treat - I'll continue to spread the word as widely as I can.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Thank you.
In my case the More Like This was worse than TVTropes.
Since it was introduced, my tab count rocketed up over 500 tabs.

I know that feel. XD
It gives me so much more art to love.
So much I hate it.

It really was help! I have good clean deviations and someone pointed out that some of them are "related" to the naughtier kinds, so I wanted to fix it. But now that is no long a problem (I think...).
Thank you very much!
