Just go to View > Style > Manage Modes and remove the tick from "My Style Sheet". That will put everything back though, not just the PC World banner. Otherwise, if you want the PC World banner and not the other stuff remove the following from the CSS file contents:

.fairfax_nav,
#advert-banner,
#header,
#navigation,
.tfoot,
td[width="170"],
img[alt="PC World Forums"]
{display: none;}


NOTE: I think that is what is removed. I would recommend that you make a copy of your current CSS file and experiment as I haven't tested it.

Amending the CSS file as you suggest, gives me the big blank space to the right of the posts - since I'm using a 15.4 inch screen I would prefer getting my money's worth!! I'll stick with Bletch's original, I think! ;)

Do you want the red bar too? Erayd (23)
553123 2007-05-27 11:12:00 Looks OK with just the logo and that should do the trick, but what is the red bar designated by in the CSS file?

Looks like this thread has been hijacked a tad... :)
