And how long is it going to take for Twitter to realize that people only want to see the count number in the bubble, on this plug-in? I have seen multiple threads that go on even a couple of years old now asking this same question, “Is the ‘followers’ extension after the count removable?” and still Twitter has not gotten a clue. I looked at the Javascript it uses to script this through Dreamweaver, and I can tell the change would be no effort at all, especially minimal, if only I had permission to edit the document.
Since there thus-far seems to be no user-freedom to remove this extension, is there any way that I might be granted access to the javascript file in order to place it on a direct link through my website to alter the code myself? Because it is ridiculous that the “# followers”, rather than just the “#” is necessary.
