For those that use Linux, read my post yesterday, and decided to check out the website for Dungeon Runners, I apologize. I should have pointed out that their site is very, very unusable on Linux (ok, to be exact, I haven't gotten it to work with any version of Ubuntu, and Firefox). That changed today when I cooked up a small GreaseMonkey script which hides their Flash "movie" that plays in the background. Its not really a movie, its actually just a static image, but its loaded as a Flash movie. Anyways, its quite easy, go install GreaseMonkey, then the following script:

 
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Dungeon Runners Linux Compliant
// @namespace      http://thesnarky.com
// @description    This removes the flash "movie" which blocks the
//                      main site for Dungeon Runners
// @include        http://dungeonrunners.com/*
// @include        http://boards.dungeonrunners.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
 
var objects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for(i=0; i<objects.length; i++) {
	var flash = objects[i];
	if(flash.getAttribute("id") == "bg_chars") {
		flash.style.display='none';
	}
}
 

Can download it by clicking here: Script

This finds the one Flash object named bg_chars (which is the offender in this case) and tells him to go quietly sit in the corner. And such, all is right in the world, I don't need to boot into Windows to troll the forums (just to play the game).
