Navigation strip: support request 611095

Support request 611095:

No mechanism exists for permanently disabling the navigation strip

I'm aware of how to remove the navigation strip on my own journal. I've read FAQ 264, so pointing me at it once more won't be helpful.

I've read the recent post over in suggestions about how the existence or non-existence of the navigation bar doesn't respect

I have just spent ten minutes trying to do this...managed it in the end as I clicked the wrong link thing at the top. Not very user friendly really.

You can disable it on all your pages except for those on which a friend wants the navbar. For instance, the_major's journal has navbars on it because that's the way she has set her preferences.

It is a minor annoyance.

Your first paragraph is entirely correct.

Your second is not. It's a major annoyance, not least because (as you may have spotted) I often read LJ from a handheld device with a small screen. It severely compromises the browsing experience.

I can see how it would be if you do access it from other platforms.

I didn't realise that Doug. I've now switched that option off.

Switching it off seems to break my journal style when viewed in Safari (but not, bizarrely, in IE). However, I think the bar is more annoying than the brokenness ...

Yes, clicking the link labelled "remove this message" also removes the link that lets you change your settings to remove the accursed navbar. *Not* a good bit of UI design.

Ah, so I wasn't the only person to fall for that chestnut!

It's a big bag of toss imho.
