Mandatory "No Twitter/Facebook crossposting" post

[hobbitofkobol]

Don't crosspost your comments in my LJ anywhere please. (I don't think anyone here likes this new feature anyway but still, better safe than sorry).

if your journal has Custom Journal Style enable on your entries and people are not viewing your page in their own style, here's a way to get rid of the ticky boxes:

(via nowgold, thanks babe)

1. Go to your "Journal" menu, and select "Journal Style"
2. To the right, you'll see what theme you're using, with a link stating "Customize Your Theme". Click that link.
3. Scroll down a little ways, and you'll see that on the left side of your screen, you have multiple options to modify your theme. Click on the "Custom CSS" link, and it should load the options for doing Custom CSS.
4. From here, all you have to do is go to the "Custom Stylesheet", and put in this line:

.b-repost-item, FORM#qrform > TABLE[style="border: 1px solid black;"]:last-child TD[style="vertical-align: top; text-align: right;"]:first-child { display: none !important; }

Once you have it pasted in there, save changes.

Also, here's a script to get rid of them in your browser.

Can I repost this to my LJ? My flist would be grateful.

ALSO, WHAT THE FRAK, LJ? WHY WHY?

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

sure! I snagged this info from other places ;)

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Oh awesome, thanks for the code! :)

Ok, I'm totally gonna snag that, thanks to tash... This is so annoying, LJ once more you makes me wonder why we bother having a paid account.

I think I'd worry about leaving them in but just hidden like that.. if someone has them defaulting to "on," they'd have no way to uncheck them then..

(That said, who the hell would set them to default on? Terrible.)

I hope LJ comes to their senses on this, and at least adds a journal-wide opt-out. I don't even want people posting my icon posts to their FB/etc, which I generally leave public. :/

Fortunately this worked for me but that still doesn't change the fact that this new option completely sucks!

What exactly is this new feature about?

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

it crossposts comments and entries you make to Facebook and Twitter if you enable it
so imagine someone comments on your entry, this comment gets sent to their Twitter/Facebook so your post is linked there too
