Block K'nex Instructables/Forum Topics/Groups! Now with Allsteps! Version 1.0.0.1

Block K\
It seems that some people dislike K'nex. Although I find them a tad annoying, they aren't the bane of my existence (that's the line of IE browsers!) This method hides them away, getting them out of your sight.

The basic outline is this:

1 - Install Firefox
2 - Install Greasemonkey
3 - Click this link

Once you do this, you will be with the inner zen of yourself and your lack of K'nex guns!

Step 1Install Firefox / Get Greasemonkey

Install Firefox / Get Greasemonkey
Although you can use other browsers with Greasemonkey, (Seamonkey, Epiphany), this tutorial will just cover Firefox. This instructable goes over how to use a greasemonkey script with Opera.

If you have IE, Install Firefox. You'll like it much more, and instructables doesn't support IE. This means that instructables should render better.

---

You'll also need Greasemonkey:

Get Greasemonkey

You will need to restart Firefox for Greasemonkey to work.

Agreed
Jan 20, 2011. 9:02 AMnickpkcin says:
Quite. .5 stars also
Jan 20, 2011. 3:06 PMSenior Waffleman says:
Yup :P
Apr 6, 2010. 9:00 PMkewlbanana says:
 why did you rate 5 stars if you find it offensive?
May 5, 2010. 3:23 PMSpycrab says:
...he said POINT 5 >.>
May 6, 2010. 8:21 AMkewlbanana says:

Apr 27, 2010. 12:11 PMzombiehunter96 says:
So you went to the ible' for people who hate knex and want them to look at your knex. Don't take this in a bad way but thats like going into an african american neighborhood and saying "You guys should see my white supremecy stuff!" It just doesn't go over well XD
May 1, 2010. 12:40 PMThe Ideanator says:
Haha! I believe thats what referred to as "trolling" In all seriousness, your example is spot on, but levels of magnitude stronger than the knex situation.
May 2, 2010. 7:05 AMAcepilot42 says:
XD
Apr 27, 2010. 6:44 PMAcepilot42 says:
lol perfect example XD
Apr 19, 2010. 4:16 AMmagiccowy says:
Why would anyone on a i'ble on how to BLOCK K-nex want to GO to a K-nex person and look at K-nex?

Dec 30, 2009. 3:25 PMKnexFreek says:
yes. yes indeed
Dec 5, 2009. 4:01 PMSeleziona says:
yeah, you're right, so i rated it 5* too! lol, i'm so stupid.
Oct 17, 2009. 6:28 AMKryptonite says:
You don't have to use it.
It's not doing you harm.
It stops k'nex haters from rating your Instractables badly.
It stops flame wars.
For some one who wants information on a real gun this can speed up their search time.
It's free.
It's a pretty neat piece of code.
Helps people find what they want faster sometimes.
The makers spent some of their own time and their own effort to stop an endless argument.
It can be edited for other people, it's not just for k'nex.

That's 10 stars, average it out with your .5, that makes a round 5.25. Round that and it's a 5 star Instructable. Which is what I'm giving it.
Oct 17, 2009. 2:24 PMKnexFreek says:
 youve got some good points in there.
i gave it 5 stars now

Oct 18, 2009. 12:50 AMKryptonite says:

Oct 18, 2009. 8:05 AMKnexFreek says:
 woa kiteman has 16000 thats more than dj radio!!!!!
Oct 18, 2009. 11:49 PMKryptonite says:

.5 stars 
this is discrimination.

May 1, 2010. 12:55 PMThe Ideanator says:
Discrimination? That is quite a fallacy dude. This helps you out so we non-knexers don't have to see you knexers which take up more space in the forums than just about anything else.
Jan 12, 2010. 5:11 PMbounty1012 says:
Not discrimination, you realize how many knex guns there are right? and most of them are crap, so by using this you could easily filter who you want, and don't want to see.
Nov 19, 2009. 5:11 PMiBurn says:
You are a god.
