It's extremely disappointing that a member of the community has to try to fix this mess...

User testimonial here: This works great. I've edited the tweak to remove the colored text (it's a great idea, I just prefer the original color) and I've added Photography to the list of tweaked sites, since if anybody needs bigger pictures, it's Photography. Thanks, BJ.

I'm not having this problem in Firefox on either of my Macs (10.6.x and 10.8.x). I guess you've got the bad version!
It does show up temporarily, but then goes away. I dunno what's happening in your case. Do you use AdBlock or other plugins? These could interfere.

Yes and no. It's Gawker's site, so they can make it look however they want it to look. It's not like we're paying anything to use it. Fortunately, we've got a devoted fan base who is willing to take the time to do this. Perhaps Gawker will hear. But I doubt it.

Yes, I see it briefly on Oppo then it disappears. It doesn't disappear on Jalopnik, and when I add Gawker to the list it doesn't disappear there, either. I've added Photography to the list, and it works correctly there. I do have AdBlock running, and tried disabling it for Jalopnik only to see what happens. No joy. So, for me, it seems to be working at the blog level but not at the main page level.
I'll continue to mess around with it, and if I discover anything, I'll let you know.

I'm not saying they owe us a better looking website. I'm saying, they know their shit is broken and pay people to unbreak it, only for a fan to do most of the heavy lifting.

Yes, but BJ's fix is a layout fix, not a fix to other errors like double posts, 401 errors, etc. That's where Gawker IT is dropping the ball. Their layout works fine, we just don't like it. So BJ has done yeoman's work to make it look the we way we'd like to see it.
