Hide my name

[LoyceMobile]

In a public location, I don't like having my name in bold above every page. I'm stuck here for a couple of hours, spending my time reading the forum, but don't want people to see my username (I try not to mix real life and crypto).
Would it be possible to hide the "Hello LoyceMobile" (without logging out)?

As a bonus, this might confuse account farmers and make them post under the wrong name

Possible write a JavaScript for Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey.

It would be useful if the negative symbol could occult the name too. You could occult your avatar and other things, but not the "hello" message.

I use this in my post report extension but you can do it as Xal0lex mentioned with some other tools that inject scripts. You can probably just run it in the dev console (Ctrl-Shift-I) manually. Not sure about mobile browsers though.

Code:

try {
    document.getElementById("smfheader").style.visibility = "hidden";
    document.getElementById("hellomember").style.visibility = "hidden";
    document.getElementsByClassName("avatar")[0].style.visibility = "hidden";
} catch { }

If this is a family occasion then it sounds a lot like me .
I'd just leave it there, I get too many people that notice the "Bitcoin Forum" banner anyway in my case.

Although I need something like what suchmoon has done but for mobile. Next year when I set my server up, I'll do something like that with this forum (potentially just for myself or a select few).

I couldn't figure it out on my mobile. I'll see if I can get Tampermonkey to work.

That's what stopped me indeed, I can't press F12 on mobile.

Code:

try {
    document.getElementById("smfheader").style.visibility = "hidden";
    document.getElementById("hellomember").style.visibility = "hidden";
    document.getElementsByClassName("avatar")[0].style.visibility = "hidden";
} catch { }

This is exactly what I need!

Thank you Suchmoon for the script. This is the kind of thing i needed especially when I am out in a public place but need to discuss in the forum without people having to see my username.

However am not a geek in stuff involving webpages and script injections so i would love you guys to somehow guide me.
Where exactly do i put the code? Is it correctly put as shown in the picture?
Thanks

Almost right... Remove everything and paste this:

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name     Hide BitcoinTalk Username and Avatar
// @include   https://bitcointalk.org/*
// @version  1
// @grant    none
// ==/UserScript==

try {
    document.getElementById("smfheader").style.visibility = "hidden";
    document.getElementById("hellomember").style.visibility = "hidden";
    document.getElementsByClassName("avatar")[0].style.visibility = "hidden";
} catch { }

I also added a small line on it to only work on BitcoinTalk.

Thanks very much, this is really useful
I'm interested in these kind of scripts that makes browsing easier/more private/etc...
So if you have something else (and you want to share it) please let us know

For anyone like me who likes to stay away from the entire Tapermonkey/Greasemonkey stuff, I wrote my own extension which does that. I could put the extension up in the official Chrome store but it's not necessary since one can inject it locally and tweak the code according to your needs. Follow the steps given below.

1. Create a new directory, name it whatever you want.

2. Create a file manifest.json and add the below code to the file

Code:

{
  "name": "Bitcointalk Hide Name",
  "description": "Hides Bitcointalk Avatar & User-Name",
  "version": "0.1",
  "permissions": ["activeTab", "tabs"],
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["*://bitcointalk.org/*"],
      "js": ["contentscript.js"],
      "run_at": "document_end",
      "all_frames": true
    }
  ],
  "manifest_version": 2
}

3. Create a new file contentscript.js in the same directory and add the following code to the file

Code:

document.getElementById("smfheader").style.visibility = "hidden"
document.getElementById("hellomember").style.visibility = "hidden"
document.getElementsByClassName("avatar")[0].style.visibility = "hidden"

Now, this is your extension which you've to upload in your chrome extensions. Google how to do that or

Open the Extension Management page by navigating to chrome://extensions.

The Extension Management page can also be opened by clicking on the Chrome menu, hovering over More Tools then selecting Extensions.

Enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle switch next to Developer mode.

Click the LOAD UNPACKED button and select the extension directory.

Should work! You can do much more in the same contentscript.js file.

I couldn't figure it out on my mobile. I'll see if I can get Tampermonkey to work.

On Android phones, Firefox supports custom addons such as Tampermonkey so you can run the script there.

If you can't find any software solution, you can try to use this "Anti Spy Tempered Glass"

I haven't personally tried it  so far since I am still planning to change my smart phone. It works very well especially on a very crowded place I've seen one from my friend.
