New banner is way too big!
Now that this new ugly obtrusive banner is on every page, how can we get rid of it? I could easily eliminate the old one using ......., but I can't figure out how to eliminate this one yet. With this banner, the actual useful data doesn't start until more than halfway down the page (and that's after removing the ads too) on a high-resolution monitor.

Yes. It takes up a good fifth of my northern screen real estate.
As noted, ....... won't get rid of it.
Any hacks out there, or could we just lose it?

I don't know how to get rid of the banner, but this line:
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
in my \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
file gets rid of all of the ads. You might need to clear your browser cache and restart the browser after setting this.

....... does that extremely well already...
I guess the idea with FT now is to make it impossible to use without paying the extortion fee (though I think even that won't let you get rid of the banner. Eventually you'll need to page down three or four pages to dig out the posts.
