Just use Firefox + AdBlock Plus.
It’s great!

Awesome! I think the Live Calendar UI is nice-looking but I hate that the banner ad at the top of the page sort of “pushes down” the calender when I have IE8’s Favorites Bar enabled, so I have to scroll down a bit.

Thanks!

@v: Great tip, totally forgot about that.
@Matt Sharpe, surilamin: Agreed.

For permanent removal (and hiding the space) stick this in your user css file (works on Opera, but I believe userchrome.css or similar does the same for firefox):
div[id*="CalendarAds"]{display:none !important}

Thanks Raf!!! The ad was not well integrated into the page…they’ll need to work on this.

It’s a shame that they create such a nice looking page, with a header that is obviously designed to sit at the top of the page, and then ruin the whole thing with an enormous advert.

The ad was what caught my eye first, so annoying.

That is sweet, thanks! If only this did this every time I went there…

Nice work!

Is there any way to make it permanently disappear and getting back the space at the top it uses up?

I didn’t even see the ad when I first came here here XD. I love Ad-Block.
