The threads about the banner ads prompted me to post this. It seems that the topic of the "Nailed" threads at the top of the Garage is being brought up more-and-more so I thought I would share what I've done to free up some screen real estate.

Now, I did not develop this solution but this is what works for me. You will need:

1. Firefox
2. Greasemonkey
3. Rllmuk Topic Ignore List script

After you have the above items installed and running on your system, you will be able to move topics to an Ignore list. In the first screenshot below, you will see that I added all of the Nailed topics except one to my list.

Now, those threads have not gone away. They now appear in a section at the bottom of my browser window.

To check on any update to those threads, simply hit the "+" sign in the Ignored Topics section and that section will expand.
