Every time I log into LJ and check my settings, something has been fucked with. This time it was mandatory display of "most recent vgifts" in my profile. The most recent, by the way, was from 2006. The only way to prevent them from showing up in my profile was to delete each one individually. (Note: I disabled vgifts three years ago.)
http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=260&q=vgift&lang= While trying to figure out how to get rid of the damn things, I noticed HELP has been removed from the main LJ menu at the top, replaced by either SHOP or LJ EXTRAS, which are probably the same fucking thing. This change encapsulates LJ's current operating style perfectly: HELP NO, SELLING YES.
