If you don't like something, fix it.

So, DeviantArt recently placed inline ad boxes for non-subscribers in every v2 gallery. (The new gallery system that lets you categorize things.) However, this is really, really ugly, and tends to interrupt the flow of everything. If you haven't seen it yet, a huge ad block, measuring about 2x2 thumbnails, is inserted in the top-right of the gallery page. However, this doesn't happen in the v1 galleries, presumable because those are now being treated as the "noscript-friendly" versions of pages. This is also happening in the Favourites view.

So, I whipped up a little Greasemonkey script to automatically redirect to the old v1 galleries. Eventually I hope to figure out how to isolate that ad block, but not today. Since it's actually redirecting, the v2 page will start to load before it switches, though. Next I'll try to rewrite the gallery link in the page instead.

For anyone that wants it, you can find it here. Oh, and DISCLAIMER: I don't have much experience with scripting, so use at your own risk. Shouldn't be any problems, but ya never know.
