request for minor LJ support

[cellio]

Dear LazyWeb,

LJ seems to have made a change today that makes single-entry pages in the default style too wide for my preferred browser-window size. Specifically, the links at the bottom are in 5 columns (that's fine) (About, Help, Legal, Store, LJ Labs), and then over on the right is a drop-down list to change languages, with "current version: v46" under it. That last column of content is what's making the page too wide. I do not care very much about it.

Do I have any readers who have both the know-how and the inclination to write me something that will move, or remove, that drop-down? I'm using Firefox v2 (not 3 yet) and have GreaseMonkey installed already. I'm using Vertigo (not Horizon), if that makes a difference. Sticking it at the bottom of one of the five other columns, or just eliminating it, would fix my problem.

Thanks! (Yes, I will learn GreaseMonkey someday, perhaps even soon, but this is painful now.)

I forget, are you on a Mac or a PC? Firefox 3 for Mac is pretty good at making sure that things don't scroll out of the browser window.

I'm using Horizon, and there are no sidebars in single-entry pages that way.

This is on a Windows box. I want the sidebar menus to be available to me (navigating the javascript-based drop-downs hunting for what I want is a pain), though I don't need them on every page. If LJ gave me the ability to have Vertigo on my own profile page and Horizon everywhere else, that would be a win. But they don't.

Hope you get an answer from someone who's an actual hacker... I was replying mostly because no-one else had.
