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.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Rats. I have to take that back -- it's stopped working. (Suspiciously, it worked right up until an hour or so after I posted that comment.) The thank-yous still apply for the effort, of course.

I take that back again! The problem was on my end. In case it helps others, I'll explain: when the code to hide MLT stops working, just switch it off and on again. Should fix it.
(Sorry for the double posts. If dA would let us edit comments, this wouldn't be necessary...)

Nice idea!
I took it a little further and made it slide down. You know, so it doesn't "jump".
.deviation-mlt-preview .stream { height: 0 !important; overflow: hidden !important; -moz-transition: height 0.5s ease-in-out; }
.deviation-mlt-preview:hover .stream { height: 465px !important; }
(I've had to hard-code the 465px in there, which is unfortunate. Right now, every MLT box is this tall, but dA could change things around at any time.)

This is ultra sweet! I didn't mind the MLT, but I was wishing for an option to hide/show it. Looks pretty spiffy and makes me feel like a "genius". Thanks!

Sure! It's a bit of a dirty hack and might break at a moment's notice, but that's the case with all Styles anyway

Ooooh fantastic, thank you! Didn't know how to do that. Although does it only work on Firefox?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, right!
Change -moz- to -webkit- up there to make it work in Chrome. This should do the trick.

Aaaand something just changed. (Lit thumbs are now animated.) The height is now 480px instead of 465px

Oh yeah, we were like THAT BETTER HAPPEN

No problem. I'm still trying to find a better solution than having a fixed value in there though

I know nothing about that tag, so I got nothing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Both height:auto and height:100% would work, but then the animation won't work anymore. No idea why; guess i'll have to read up on CSS transitions a little more…

Yeah, me too! I've been holding off learning all the latest stuff because it's still kind of off.

It worked, in Firefox!! THANK YOUUU

Hey, thank you so much!
By the way, should the "Toogle Drop Down Option" work on Firefox as well? Because it seems to just hide More Like This but doesn't show the button.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
They changed the code on the site to remove the button, now the hide-until-rolled-over code no longer works, sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Scratch the comment, I hadn't noticed that the button had vanished lately.

Thanks for a nice temporary solution. now I don't have to see this AU's rivals anymore, but unfortunately others still will. Hopefully a more formal solution will come soon, and our AU will not have to suffer being viewed briefly only to be ditched for something more popular seen in More Like This

Though, if someone else not logged in goes through my gallery, can THEY see the "more like this"?

The extension listed here only affects what you see

Thank you so much for sharing your solution with us!
I, like some, was fine with MLT when it was a button. I find it visually distracting in its current implementation.

Not directed at `parallellogic , but if anyone comes by and sees this, does anyone know if there's a way I can get this to work as a Greasemonkey script (which I already have installed) rather than having to install Stylish?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Greasemonkey is for script add-ons. This is just a modification to the CSS so it has to be through Stylish (as far as I've ever seen, anyway).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, but I've occasionally come across things like this (a tweak to deal with some website annoyance) which had instructions for using in either extension, so I wondered if it was possible to massage it into Greasemonkey-usable form in this case.

Hmm, they might've been two different ways to fix it? I've never heard of it being an option myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Stylish is so cool-! I was also able to get rid of the huge thumbnails and change the garish submit page back to dA green!!

You guys are great XD I love seeing members like you showing up after changes/updates on dA and making code to remove the changes. People don't like change and you know how to make them happy~ Great work, man

Oh god /thank you/ FHHHGHH
THIS IS PERFECT
it works like a charm. ;3;

I don't understand why DA can't give us toggle options in the first place. Everyone else seems to.

THANK YOU.. THANK YOU.. THANK YOU!!! Works perfectly!

Thank you so much for this! Glad that thing is out of my sight!

I like with the hover. I was just going to modify to have the header only, but the hover is nicer. Thanks for this helpful style.
