Remove the welcome back message

[ooker777]

Is it possible to have a feature to remove the welcome back message? It has been discussed in Disable "don't forget to vote" message and I see "Welcome back! If you found this question useful..." message very frequently

@ooker777 I'll look into it :)

[shu8]

@ooker777 I can't seem to get the message to appear! I'm visiting questions from google on sites I'm registered on but hardly go on, but it doesn't appear?

What do you do when they appear?

[ooker777]

I just click on it. Why can't it be removed? It has been complained a lot but I can't see a solution posting somewhere.

Anyway, where is the donation box? :)

[shu8]

It probably can be removed, but I can't actually get the message to appear.. are there any specific steps you do for the message to appear? There isn't one! We do this for fun :)

[ooker777]

No, just like you. Maybe you should see which sites you haven't visit for months, then google any question on that site?

[shu8]

I'll try again, but if you have something like AdBlock installed it might be easier to just block that element from appearing using AdBlock instead!

I just add this filter on my uBlock Origin setting:

*.stackexchange.com###overlay-header

Maybe there is a way to add it to the script?

[ooker777]

It doesn't work :(

Maybe you can try follow this on the script?

#overlay-header {display:none !important;}

[shu8]

@ooker777 weird how it doesn't work :/

the only problem I'm thinking with that CSS rule is it might be the same container for those 'read only mode' signs we get every now and again which is quite important to keep.

I'll see if I can check for the specific text content when I manage to actually get the popup to show 😆

BTW, if it comes up again, do you mind right clicking the message, clicking 'inspect element' and screenshotting the window that pops up?

@shu8 Oh, I'm pretty sure you have to go on a site you're registered on and haven't been to recently, maybe for a week or two. You specifically have to get a question from google; if you go to any other part of the site first, the message won't appear and you'll have to start waiting all over again. I actually figured this out when I tried to stop the message from covering the fixed top bar, but I forgot about that 😆

I might not get the time to get to this, but I took a screenshot :)

[shu8]

@Sir-Cumference thanks! I'll try looking at it ASAP

[shu8]

@ooker777 I wasn't able to test it (I still can't get the message to appear for me! 😆) but please could you try installing the latest dev version and enable the feature to see if it works for you? :)

[ooker777]

Thanks, I'll report if it happens again (obviously it would take a while to test). Does this feature an implement of this script? It seems to work for me, but I'm not 100% sure.

[shu8]

I didn't do it the way that script does it, so it's worth looking out for it because it might not work!

Not working

@SmartManoj please could you make another issue for this again, with more details and steps to reproduce, so I can track the bugs more easily and effectively?
