You'll all have noticed LJ has changed the appearance of LJ-cuts to display a scissor icon and something that looks like a normal link, rather than the distinctive LJ cut.
If you haven't seen it,
we may at least get the parentheses-and-bolding back, even if the scissors stay. (Personally, I like the scissors, but I know a lot of people don't.
In the mean time - and for the future, whatever LJ decides to do -
here's a fix to make it look like a cut again.
(For some reason it wouldn't work in the CSS box for me, so I had to add it to my theme layer. But people report it works for them, so it's likely just my problem. Either way, LJ cuts that look like LJ cuts, yay!)
