LJ implemented this thing where you can crosspost your comments to Twitter and/or Facebook. This should be obvious, but I would like you all to refrain from posting your comments to my journal to Twitter and/or Facebook since the vast majority of my posts are friends-only. I have a public blog over at WordPress and that's fine so long as you do not ( Read more... )

OMG, I can't imagine the terror if my LJ posts were discovered on Facebook. Just, NO! The thought of it wants to make me delete my facebook and LJ accounts.

Yep, anywhere on the custom css page. Just went to your FO post on IE (where I didn't install anything relating to this fiasco just so I can test to see if it's implemented somewhere via the CSS method as the script is running in Chrome, so that makes it not a good testing browser) and no Facebook line and no ticky boxes for Facebook and Twitter :)

Can you dumb this way down for me? I feel so out of the loop about this. Basically, it's the cross-posting that everyone wants to prevent, right? Are there other issues I should be worried about? What exactly should I do if I just want to keep LJ within LJ's realm?

Hullo there, lady. Sorry I haven't been in touch.

Hey!

What exactly should I do if I just want to keep LJ within LJ's realm

Go here and make sure you say Yes for "Use external stylesheets" (third drop down menu).

Then add .b-repost-item, #fblo {display:none;} in the text field for "Custom stylesheet."

Then "Save Changes."

I think that should do it though I'm suddenly remembering that Basic or Plus accounts might not allow this modification since custom reply pages are a paid feature, I think. I have a paid account, so may not work, but give it a go and if it doesn't work, let me know. I'll give you something that will make you not see the Repost to ticky boxes, but it only works on the computer you install the script on. And let me know what browser you have, ok?

Hullo there, lady. Sorry I haven't been in touch.

Is ok, I've seen you around (mostly on Maka's journal, I think) ;) We should catch up via e-mail sometime :)
