[IMPLEMENTED] Disable Map Permanently on Forums

Okay, so I recently moved back from my apartment with good Internet while I was in college and back to my parents house in the middle of no where with slow Internet and I noticed something that I have been needing to address.

There is a "Disable Map" feature at the bottom of everyone's minerealm.com page.

My suggestion is that we simply add a "Disable Map Permanently" for those of us that are living in the country and don't have much of an Internet at all.

If you vote no, then please explain why in a comment below. I don't think this is too much to ask from Intelli either. Should be simple an easy as I, myself, have played aound with website development as well.

Thanks! :)

Instead of adding another button, why not have the disable feature be permanent upon clicking on it. If someone wishes to enable the map, there would be the enable button (like there always is).

Yes, that could work as well. Just a little annoying how it keeps popping up and lagging my Internet really bad. Lol.

Install noscript and deny it permission.
Problem solved.

You can save www.minerealm.com/community/?map=false as your favourite instead and the map won't show up. Not sure if it works on subsequent pages that you load.

I'm confused, I disabled the map using the button and it stays disabled.

What's the point of this suggestion?

Mine NEVER stays disabled. Just about every 10 minutes it shows back up. I don't want to have to install anything. Would be much simpler to have a disable perm button..

If you're browsing the internet without adblock/noscript you're doing it wrong.
These add-ons should be enforced by law in all browsers.

I stand corrected on the disable button though, the background is displayed again and I didn't re-activate it.

It seems like the setting is saved via cookies and/or guest/user session. Maybe you should check your security settings in that direction.

I actually do have ad-block. ;-; And yes, it's amazing.
