Rukia.4802 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I don't want nor use that toxic garbage , blocked it with ublock but it still takes up screen space and looks awful. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Adblock can remove it entirely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Templar.4589 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Would love to see a way to customize our profile in the forums to turn that off without needing to run a 3rd party tool to block it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasya neko.1985 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 it's awful and really don't see why they even included that crap. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr.5382 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I, too, would like the option to customize the view settings and remove it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Add it to your adblock/ublock filters and it removes the feed along with the bar that takes forum space for no good reason. If you have removed the twitter feed, but still have the "squashed" forum due to the remaining white bar, you probably used the element picker instead?

Samnang.1879 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Agreed. Also I don't care about retweets like, "OMG My first time playing GW2".... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadrine.4352 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Why do games force this social media trash on us? WoW pulled this and it went over like a hot rock, people quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) ...Is that why the forums have been scrunched up this entire time? I use Brave, which automatically blocks all that stuff. Now I need to figure out how to un-scrunch the forums. EDIT: Got it. For all you Brave users out there, here is what you do: Step 1: Right click on anything. Step 2: Scroll down to where it says Brave, and select "Manage Custom Filters" Step 3: paste the following at the bottom of the new page that opens up: en-forum.guildwars2.com##.twitter-timeline-rendered.twitter-timeline en-forum.guildwars2.com##.ipsLayout_sidebarright Edited May 11, 2021 by Blood Red Arachnid.2493 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Twitter feed is probably there because it was an option with the new software and it lets their tweets be visible on the forums. There have been times that they've posted on Twitter about an issue and received complaints from some players about not posting about it on the forums too. Now that will no longer be the case... in a way. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I wish I could get it to show up. Must be my Dark Mode. One way to get rid of the space, is to increase the zoom level. That gets rid of it, but I don't like the format on the front pages, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 What Twitter Feed? On these new forums?? 🤨 Yes, I have been using an adblocker for years - is that why I don't see anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I understand the Twitter feed on the side, as whoever runs the Twitter account is ten times better than the email/website people (the last episode was released on April 27th and oh looky, I get the email about it on May 4th!) on getting information out. However this method is really horridly set up. Would have made more sense to have a section on the top that has Tweet tracker, much like the Dev Tracker so if people wanted to see the tweets, they click to them. Overall, I'm pretty much gonna block it as I already follow the Twitter account, I don't need it taking up space here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The only thing I dont understand is why it's not like on the mobile version, bottom of page. That would avoid squishing the forum (and they could even make the twitter gadget wider if they want). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the PC, make the window of the forums half the size of the screen and it auto-magically behaves itself out of sight, but increases the font size to let you know that it is angry at you.

Omega.6801 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 But without a Twitter-Feed, how should we receive the latest news about the game? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenedge.9675 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) If you use uBlock Origin, this works perfectly: Added the following lines to "My filters" at UO settings page: ! 2021-05-01 https://en-forum.guildwars2.com en-forum.guildwars2.com##.twitter-timeline-rendered.twitter-timeline en-forum.guildwars2.com##.ipsLayout_sidebarright EDIT: I suggest adding this line to remove the huge, uninformative header above the list of threads. en-forum.guildwars2.com##.ipsPageHeader.ipsBox Edited June 9, 2021 by keenedge.9675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
