 Clean Up the SU Beta
UPDATE!! The script now supports the new SU "View recent shares" feature by adding a "Shares" tab next to the "Inbox" tab. To get this new functionality, you can reinstall the script by clicking the "Clean Up the SU Beta" link above. If you have never installed the cleanup beta script, please follow the installation instructions below the screenshots.

Are you a little disgruntled with the layout of the SU beta? If so, you should try out my Greasemonkey script that makes the SU beta layout much more tolerable. It has been installed over 1,200 times, so give it a try and see if it improves your beta experience.
- Get rid of the sidebars for a much cleaner layout
- Move the mail and visitors indicators into the top tab bar
- Get to a stumbler's contact page in one click instead of two
- Toggle the sidebar on and off by clicking the new Sidebar tab at the top
- Resize message text boxes -- no more tiny white boxes to type in!

Installation Instructions
- If you already have Greasemonkey installed, go to Step 2. If not, install Greasemonkey. Click the big green "Install Now" button.
- Install my new Clean SU beta script. When the "Greasemonkey Installation" window pops up, wait for the "Install" button to become enabled, then click it. Installation only takes a second or two.
- Once it is installed, go to any SU page and refresh the page -- you should be prompted to enter your SU user name -- only enter your user name, and do not include the .stumbleupon.com. part. For example, if your user name is furman87, then enter furman87. This is only used by the script to know how it should render certain pages. If you enter the wrong user name, go to Tools->Greasemonkey->User Script Commands->Enter SU User Name, then enter your name correctly.
