boo facebook and twitter reposts

Sep 02, 2010 15:01

So are you annoyed by the facebook and twitter reposting that livejournal has unleashed? Do you strive to keep your LJ and RL separate? Well you are not alone.

You're probably all aware that Livejournal now allows you to repost comments to Facebook and Twitter. This is a very unpopular new feature. Firefox has an addon that hides the new Facebook / Twitter repost ticky boxes. But here's a little line of code you can use to make it so that no one, no matter what browser they're using, can repost comments.

.b-repost-item {display:none}

Here's what to do:

1. Go to Custom CSS in Customize Journal Style.

2. Copy and paste .b-repost-item {display:none} into the Custom stylesheet box and save changes.

Voila! As you can see the boxes are hidden on the comm now :)

ETA: here is a place you can vote on it.

This css fix is style dependent and will probably not work for basic accounts because they can't customize their comment css. If you browse through the comments you'll find additional info that might help.

FYI I did not write this but it was doing the rounds on my f-list and it works for quite a few folks so I encourage you to share it; it might work for someone else, too..

If it bugs you too spread the word. And it does work on personal journals as well as comms so yeah! One small glitch, it doesn't work if you have disabled the customized comments.
