Extras

You can add these to your ad-block stylesheet to further customize the website.

This will hide the sidebar containing the Neofriend list and your active pet:

Screenshot	Code
(drag to address bar to enlarge)	.sidebar {display: none !important;}

This will widen threads ('topics') on the Neoboards to occupy the space that the ad to the right used to fill:

Screenshot	Code
(drag to address bar to enlarge)	.topicPosted table {width: 580px !important;}

These are the most common, relevant, or likely to be used customizations, but remember that you can tweak any element to your preferences. Be aware, however, that user styles apply to all web sites, not just Neopets, so you may have undesirable effects such as an element named .sidebar on another site failing to appear.
