Quick Fix!

This was originally posted by the wonderful emiliglia over on jim_and_bones.

As many of you are probably aware, LJ released the option to link your posts/comments to Facebook and/or Twitter, which was probably one of the dumbest things they've ever done since anyone with Twitter seems to already have their LJ friends on it, and then Facebook and LJ are the lines that never, ever cross. Because I, for one, don't need my cousin's 12 year olds to find the mansex I write.

The following line of code, though, doesn't just hide the repost boxes to you like the Greasemonkey code for Firefox going around does. It completely removes the option for everyone viewing your journal or community. I've done it for this comm as well as my personal journal.

1. Go to Journal > Journal Style

2. Go to Customize your theme

3. Go to Custom CSS

4. Copy and paste .b-repost-item {display:none} (make sure you're just getting the bolded text) into the Custom stylesheet

5. Save changes

Now not only can you not crosspost comments, but anyone viewing your account can't either. This doesn't get rid of the reposting option when you're making a new entry, but at least that one's easy to avoid.

LJ's powers-that-be are still dumb, though.

I KNOW. WHERE IS IT? And if it comes out sometime between later tonight and Monday night I probably won't be able to dl it anyway because I'm going to be at a sci-fi convention that whole time. T_T

[idreamedmusic.livejournal.com]

OH NOES! It MUST come out before then. Like, RIGHT NOW!

Did I mention that I found Oceans 11/Inception crossover fic? I love crossovers.

[osaraba]

Yeah, I saw two so far -- one gen, one Eames/Rusty. I'm interested in them, but also somewhat apprehensive. I think the Eames/Rusty one is possibly a WIP.

Have you seen Rocknrolla? There's a good crossover fic with Rocknrolla, also a WIP, but very interesting so far! Let me know if you want links!

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

I read the Eames/Rusty one its not a WIP.

I haven't seen Rocknrolla yet I've only seen part of it. I keep meaning to watch the whole thing.

I still see the option to crosspost...

[osaraba]

Hmmm weird. I think I saw somewhere that there might be an issue if you're not already using a customized layout? Are you?

[koyappi.livejournal.com]

Never mind, gone now... must have been my work pc.
