Hiroto (followup question)

Hello

Sorry for late reply. I've read your question in the other thread as well but could not reproduce the issue regarding promoted helpful replies and could not think of a way to hide promoted solved answer selectively in subsequent pages...

Now it occurs to me that you're likely using the following rule of tt2's to show all replies regardless of the internal state of helpful-replies-only or all-replies.

.all-replies-container { display: inherit !important; }

If it is the case, the persistent promoted helpful replies on top is a side effect of the rule in a use case.

If you hide the promoted helpful replies by menu (All replies | Helpful answers), you will not see them.

To hide promoted solved answer in subsequent pages is much complicated. As far as I can tell, you cannot do it by CSS but JavaScript injection. If you're using Firefox, you might install GreaseMonkey add-on to perform JavaScript injection into site scripts. It is quite powerful but not in the scope of CSS customisation.

Hello

As I mentioned earlier, you'd need javascript to manipulate the specific behaviour consistently.

Here's a recipe you might try if you really want to, provided that you're using Firefox. Install Greasemonkey add-on [1] and create a user script with the content as listed below, which will do -

a) disable jquery animation in page scrolling; and,

b) initially show all replies and hide promoted helpful and/or recommended replies; and,

c) hide rolled-up solved or recommended answer in original post in page 2 or later.

Briefly tested with Firefox 45.2.0esr and Greasemonkey 3.8 under OS X 10.6.8 but no warranties. Please try this at your own risk.

Good luck,

Obviously, the single tt2's rule as listed below does hide any rolled-up answers whether solved, recommended or helpful in any page not limited to page 2 or later.

@-moz-document domain(communities.apple.com), domain(discussions.apple.com), domain(discussionsjapan.apple.com), domain(discussionskorea.apple.com), domain(discussionschinese.apple.com) { .j-answer-rollup {display: none !important;} }

So if you want to remove all features regarding promoted replies and rolled-up replies, the four tt2's rules as listed below should suffice and there's no need to employ javascript to manipulate the behaviour thereof, for the features are gone.

@-moz-document domain(communities.apple.com), domain(discussions.apple.com), domain(discussionsjapan.apple.com), domain(discussionskorea.apple.com), domain(discussionschinese.apple.com) { .helpful-allreply {display: none !important;} #helpful-container {display: none !important;} .all-replies-container {display: inherit !important;} .j-answer-rollup {display: none !important;} }

You're quite welcome!

And I'm using the javascript myself, for I found it not bad. So thanks for the problem which seems now solved. 😉

Kind regards,
