LJ has recently delinkified and unstruckthrough
the user tags for deleted and suspended users. Like many of you, I am unhappy with that. Amongst other things.
I'd like to find a way to get the link back, but that's probably beyond me, if it's possible at all. But here's a little CSS that will at least make the usernames more noticeable.
span.ljuser { color: #CC0000 !important; }
Before: exampleusername. After: exampleusername.
It works for me, but I haven't tested it much and I can't guarantee it for anyone else. If you want to try it out, you can
install it here as either a Stylish or a Greasemonkey script. (You'll need a
Firefox browser and either the
Stylish or
Greasemonkey extension, depending on what you prefer.) You can of course change the color to whatever you want.
ETA:
tunxeh has a great tip for
coding deleted usernames into your posts in "the old style."
grrliz explains
how to incorporate the CSS into your layout, rather than a browser extension.
ETA2: Scratch this.
