LJ Facebook/Twitter work around to get rid of the annoying boxes

[sloot]

UPDATE: sloot: MEH - this doesn't appear to quite work, even after I verify the CSS as working in webdeveloper. Hopefully someone smarter than me at this stuff will sort it out.

Good to know.

By the way, I see those ticky boxes at the bottom of this comment box. ;)

[sloot]

Do you keep your style on for other journals? (&style=mine in the URL)

[miss_bontemps]

Nope.

[jodidevildoll]

it seems to disable the boxes, but they are still visible...

[sloot]

I think they're disabled if you haven't configured your twitter/facebook connect settings.

[jodidevildoll]

oh.
how can we tell if it works then?

[jodidevildoll]

it seems to work on my journal. but the boxes are still there on yours...
hmmm. i always post friends only, maybe that is why? if you figure it out let me know...

I'm not sure I follow this. This doesn't stop crossposting, it just hides the little boxes, which aren't present if you don't enable FB connect. So why not just not use FB connect?

[sloot]

My understanding is this:

If I don't use FB connect, but you do, you can crosspost your reply to my entry on your FB.

By hiding the little tickyboxes, it means that people can't select that option.

[twiin]

Right. So the worry is that people on my FB would see your (possibly sensitive) LJ content?

[sloot]

Correct. LJ is all a twitter about this change (on aug 31) and LJ admin hasn't responded to the comcerns

[diggerlicious]

I put it up for you; good on ya for tweaking it.

wow, oldskool code there in #2 :O
nope. no option for tickbox. but getting rid of the icons won't be in the css.
