Description

For users without JavaScript or in IE 7, the personal tool will be a dead link. It shows, but does nothing except change URL to #recommendations on click.

It needs to be hidden by default, then conditionally shown if it's a supported browser. That should also take care of the no-JS case (If/when we support IE 7, we can switch to the 'client-nojs' class for this, which goes on the body and is removed by JS).
