Prevent accidental crossposting of comments from your journal:

http://emmagrant01.livejournal.com/447980.html


Instructions:

1. Go to your "Journal" menu, and select "Journal Style"
2. To the right, you'll see what theme you're using, with a link stating "Customize Your Theme". Click that link.
3. Scroll down a little ways, and you'll see that on the left side of your screen, you have multiple options to modify your theme. Click on the "Custom CSS" link, and it should load the options for doing Custom CSS.
4. From here, all you have to do is go to the "Custom Stylesheet", and put in that line.

.b-repost-item {display:none}

Once you have it pasted in there, save changes.

Ta-da! Crosspost ticky boxes gone!

ETA: This prevents the "repost to FB/Twitter" ticky boxes from being displayed when someone comments on one of your posts. It seems to work, UNLESS the person is viewing your page in their own journal style, in which case it might not work.

ETA2: Inserting the code below in your custom CSS box reportedly works for more kinds of journal styles, including custom ones (this courtesy of [info]xnguard):

.b-repost-item, FORM#qrform > TABLE[style="border: 1px solid black;"]:last-child TD[style="vertical-align: top; text-align: right;"]:first-child { display: none !important; }

The problem is its only modifying your layout. It does nothing for other people if they aren't viewing your journal, in your style. Like, if you've entered this information already, I am staring at the Facebook button because I haven't.
I've heard it MIGHT block the buttons in certain styles, but its no guarantee.

I guess we just need to get everyone to do it?

Or move over to a non-less fuckery type journal.
I, for one, rather love DreamWidth.

I have one of those, but all my friends are here. Plus I have a permanent lj with all my icons and everything...yeah, not gonna move. =\

You are? See, my problem is I thought I only knew two people over there. Now I'll have to try to find you!

Feel free, though I've never actually used it yet...I only signed up for one as a backup and to make sure I got my username.

Also, and this is where it can get dangerous, if someone has defaulted to ACTUALLY crosspost, they now cannot un-tick the buttons which you've blocked.

If someone did that they won't be on my FL for long! lol

FUCK YES Oh my god I love you so much. I am reposting this asap.

Cool thanks!

Um twitter is gone, but FB is there still, on your journal and mine.

Damnit.

If a post is f-locked, isn't it prevented from being cross posted? Or is that like saying if I eat ketchup doesn't that count as a vegetable?

Wait now it's gone. Ok I'm a dummy, I had two windows open so it took effect in neither until I closed one.

Haha.

Hahahahaha!
