All you need to do is hide the apps and quizzes as the quizzes roll in, and you’ll never see that quiz again. Works for me, all I have on my page is just the personal stuff, no “Mafia Wars” or “What kind of flower are you” type stuff. You can just use the tools that are already there…

@Naan: That spelling error is a leftover from the original author’s code and left in the script due to laziness

Love this script! The spelling-error is a sad thing though… “forbidden” beats “forbiden”

Wish I could actually enjoy this script, but firefox seems a bit ill, crashes about twice a day. Chrome never does that

Brandon,

I have uploaded an updated version that fixes this issue which got introduced ever since Facebook changed something in their HTML output.

Regards,
Bram.

It’s not the boost script. I just disabled that, and am still seeing this issue.

This isn’t working for me as of 4/10/09.

It’s simply deleting every single item in my feed after 1 second or so. My feed is now blank. I verified that toggling the script off returns my page to normal. I am also running the firefox extension “Boost for Facebook” too which recolors a few things and adds blowing pics up to full size on mouse-over. I wonder if that’s the culprit?
