Custumizing the new spam button in the comment link bar

Apr 23, 2011 00:38

Hi everyone.

LJ recently added a "spam" button in the comment linkbar. I use a tutorial to display my own images instead of the standard LJ buttons, but after the change there's the link text "spam" right in between my custom linkbar images:

( Example and code under this cut )

status: closed, /topic-comment: linkbar, *account level: paid/perm

I have a similar problem. I don't have the word there, but I now how a space where it looks like another button should be.

I can see the gap in your layout. That can't be right either, since you alone should be able to see the new spam button in your own journal... which makes me wonder if you can see the spam link text in my layout?

Hi! I edited my entry with a solution for my layout. Take a look and check out if it works for you, too! Good Luck! :)

would love a fix for this!

Your comment prompted me to go through the source code again and try to find a solution! I edited my entry with a solution that works for me. Take a look and check out if it works for you, too! Good Luck! :)

Gawd, i was messing with my code trying to figure it out & now it seems so simple xD

Thank you so much! The text to image worked perfectly :D

Lol, I was pretty sure it would be something simple, but I just couldn't figure out the exact code for the spam button.

Yay, I'm glad it worked for you, too! :)

Returned to LJ after a long hiatus to discover this "spam" thing messing up my comment linkbar - just want to say thank you for providing this extremely quick fix!

You're welcome! Glad I could help.

Considering you've been away for such a long time, this entry about how to fix the display of your custom user icons might also be helpful to check out. LJ changed that code not so long ago and a lot of people haven't fixed the problem in their code yet.

Ahhh, thank you again! I had indeed been terrified by the triumphant return of baldyman! Thank you for taking the time to point me towards another aid :)

You're welcome! :)
