Quick & dirty fix for the display of deleted usernames

Aug 04, 2007 19:33

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. makomk wrote a script that does everything I wanted. Screenshot here. Install it here.

lj, computers are our friends
