What? You don't like your privacy taken? Neither do I...

You're probably all aware that Livejournal now allows you to repost comments to Facebook and Twitter. This is a very unpopular new feature. Firefox has an addon that hides the new Facebook / Twitter repost ticky boxes. But here's a little line of code you can use to make it so that no one, no matter what browser they're using, can repost comments.

.b-repost-item {display:none}


Here's what to do:

1. Go to Custom CSS in Customize Journal Style.

2. Copy and paste .b-repost-item {display:none} into the Custom stylesheet box and save changes.

Voila! As you can see the boxes are hidden on the comm now :)

FYI I did not write this but it was doing the rounds on my f-list and I encourage you to share it.

Alright, so you didn't get it that I'm dumb. Okay.

So, if I get this straight....unless I click on the bottom of an entry that I want to repost it in twitter or facebook, all stays as is. Correct? or do I need to do something with my settings like you posted so that nothing gets shared anywhere unless I state it so?

Sorry, hon....I'm just not that smart when it comes to these things and like you, I don't care for LJ to share my entries on Twitter. So bare with me please. ;)

Well, yes, for you...but you still have the option open for people to post their comments (therefore linking to your post) to their Facebook and Twitter. That's the point of the CSS code.

So, in the example above, if you had an f-lock post and I replied, I could send the link to everyone in my Facebook. Everyone would be able to see my comment, your post title, and your username. (So, for example, if I said, "Oh, Sally, you're J/T artwork is so good!" Then everyone on my FB would know that Jeyla4ever is "Sally" and that you make J/T artwork and anyone on my FB could link my link in their FB.)
