1. I set up my user stylesheet and user scripts for the 'www.democraticunderground.com' domain.

To disable them I just go to sync.democraticunderground.com and they don't execute. Because I am using a userContent.css file, turning off stylesheets isn't just a matter of clicking a few buttons. That idea may not be useful for you, but someone might find it to be a nice shortcut.

BTW you can turn off signatures in your account settings - hiding .post-sig is not entirely effective because quite a few people are breaking the signature element with their code. It's easiest to just remove them under your account settings.

To target things on specific pages on DU, you can use a CSS selector for the id of the <body> tag of that page. For example:

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #bfbfbf inset;"]body#profile h1.pagetitle {
display: none;
}
That will hide that class of that tag only on profile pages. Since there is only one instance of that class it works - depending on what you are trying to do it may be easy, difficult or impossible. Check out w3schools for a refresher on CSS selectors.

I actually prefer to know DU members' names - mostly to know whether or not it is worth the effort in replying. YMMV.
