(Apologies if there IS a way to turn this stuff off that's buried somewhere, but if it does exist it really should be a lot easier to find.)
So anyway, yeah, could we possibly, maybe get a way to turn off things like Hustler and Autopricer notifications? I really don't need the site to tell me that my shop finished pricing everything (though at least I only have to deal with that a few time a week,) and I'm not interested in the Hustler at all, and having to constantly clear those particular notifications is becoming a bit more than a minor annoyance.
An opt-in setting for irritating things like that would be amazing. I checked the Cash Shop Hustler the first dozen times when the notification bar was added and he was always sold out. So I got a little peeved and put my limited CSS knowledge to use. x)
If you're using legacy Subeta, add this to your customCSS:
/* hide the cash shop hustler notification */
-notifications-container {display:none!important;}
Odds are it might also work for Kumos, but I don't know what else will get messed up on Kumos if you block this.
[edit]Using the above CSS will hide important site notifications, use at your own risk! confirmed below that the banners will be used for downtime / other information.
THANK YOU! Hopefully we get an official toggle, but this is definitely a godsend!
I used to have customCSS that stopped those alerts but it stopped working after the site recently went down.
This is it for those of you who are curious - I wonder why it broke?
.hustler{display:none;}
it's not the the old code "broke" or "stopped working"—it's just no longer applicable to the new hustler system because it's using a different method of notification. the new class and ID assigned to it aren't necessarily unique to the hustler, so while you can still block it with custom CSS, doing so would likely block other notifications or messages put out using the same banner system. so i do wish there were some sort of proper toggle, since that was probably one of the most manually-disabled features prior to the change.
I agree. The Hustler banner notifications are annoying and always sold out. Please let us disable them.
I think the Hustler notifications should be opt-in. If I were a new user I think I'd hate the Hustler spam and leave, not knowing there was CustomCSS to disable it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The notification spam was driving me crazy!
Definitely support an opt-in for this.
would prefer notifications of when you have a quest buff/free HA zapper/useful things instead of hustler. you only get notified of the useful ones after they have expired, which makes no sense. its very easy to miss the quest buffs, for example, unless you're actively looking at the sidebar, and the visual clutter of kumos updates and other notifications isn't helping.
Please! Even just an update to the code so we can reliably get rid of only the Hustler updates with custom CSS. They're so obnoxious. I don't care. Why are we all being subjected to this?
+1! I'll be using the generalized css to disable it until this is implemented and hope I don't miss anything important.
I'd appreciate a tag if any mod replies to this thread with updates on this issue! ;)

Just seems like a bad idea to use a generic notification system for something constant and obnoxious like the Hustler. It's all the time, it's annoying, it's unimportant, so people block it with either custom CSS or adblock it and then miss when there's something actually important there because 99% of the time it's used to remind you of the cash shop.
Agreed, the notifs are very persistent and annoying, but I don’t want to use the code in case it blocks something important! Pls banish the Hustlers notifs elsewhere 😆
I fully support a way to toggle this particular notification off. I do not care about the Hustler. I hate having to X it out every time I open the site. I haven't been wanting to play because of this.
Thank you for the custom CSS! I also highly support the option to toggle it on/off.
Hi! We unfortunately don't have a lot of options here. the hustler alerts drive purchases, and that's what we need to keep the site running.
So it's either add 3-4 more ads to each page, or have the hustler alerts. Which are annoying -- but they drive purchases that wouldn't otherwise happen. we need those purchases to keep the site running, and if we remove the banner (as it was off for two years, we have a pretty good sense of the metrics here) we lose a chunk of purchases that have to be made up in other ways (ads, moving more functionality to CSC/gold accounts or laying people off).
I'm trying to be as transparent as possible here, we give you the ability to add custom CSS to this site & kumos for a reason -- however those banners are going to be used for downtime / other information.
💖 ✨ 🤗
^I'd much rather have the hustler notification than the ads, just saying. c:
I don't find them intrusive despite never using them and rarely clicking on them. I understand why they're there/needed, but I also don't find them annoying or intrusive, and if I did, I'd click 'X' on them. I appreciate the staff's transparency about it, but ads are way more intrusive.
Meanwhile, I'd just be happy if it was possible that they didn't show up for people who get on after the item has sold out (and before the next one is offered). I don't know enough about coding to know if it's possible or not, lol.
I try not to think. It interferes with being nuts.
