Fixing the BruDirect “White Page of Nothingness” Problem
So previously I had written about “Fixing BruDirect’s Grey Container of Emptiness” but it seems that the workaround of decreasing the font size does not work any longer (doesn’t work in Chromium / Chrome). So the BruDirect problem now has slightly changed: fro grey container of emptiness to the white box of nothingness as shown below.
The Fix:
- Install this user style I created http://userstyles.org/styles/43231?r=1295959046
- You can install it in Chromium / Chrome by just clicking the link and installing as a user script (it can be later uninstalled from the Extensions page). Firefox users can use GreaseMonkey to install user scripts.
- Alternatively you can use Stylish (Firefox extension, Chromium / Chrome extension). I had some problems with Stylish for Chrome. Chrome Stylist can be used for manually editing the fix.
- For the advanced users who just want the CSS snippet to fix it, it is as follows:
@-moz-document domain('brudirect.com') { #horiz-menu li, #horiz-menu li .link { font-size: 11px; } }
So after the fix is installed, Brudirect should work again

Fix (once configured will be fixed even if browser/computer is restarted)
- For Firefox:

- Add the following code into the file

}
}- Restart Firefox and the menu bar text should be smaller and fit on a single line
- Add a userContent.css in your profile/chrome directory
- For Opera:
- Create a “brudirect.css” file
- Add the following code into the file
a.link span {
font-size: 11px;
