The privacy thing

[bluespirit]

I'm pretty certain that LJ will reverse the cross-posting to Twitter & Facebook thing, but in the meantime please don't link anything from me please.
I seriously doubt anyone here would (you guys rock!), but I thought it best to clarify.
I don't have a FB account & my Twitter is locked down, but I obviously won't be cross-posting anything either. :)

Oh, & to make this a much more satisfying post...

Boys! ♥

Edited to add:
I've made this addition to the CSS sheet & so the cross-post option is disabled. Thank you to tarlanx for the info.

Hm, I can still see the FB option here and I can on comment boxes to my own posts also, even though I put the code in. Wonder what's with that? Maybe I don't understand this whole thing!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I added the code too. The boxes seem to have been replaced by a link to 'settings'.
*sigh*
I don't understand it either!

[vida-boheme.livejournal.com]

(just for info) I don't get fb or twitter check boxes on this reply to your post. Do you still get them if you reply on my posts?

[liresius.livejournal.com]

Yes I just opened a comment box on your twitter fix post and saw the FB radio button there. I didn't post though. It's a mystery!

ETA: Oh wait! I see what it is - I was confused between the radio button's above and the check boxes below. The ones below are not there, so it looks like it works then.

From Beryann there's a way to stop the crossposting (from other source before it got to her!) and it should prevent this stupid idea of crossposting.

I followed the simple instructions and it seems to have worked (I'm the extreme example of the computer idiot!).

[sherry57.livejournal.com]

...and I love your way of making your posting more satisfying!!!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

LOL
I wanted to make sure there was something good in the post. *g*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'd actually already just seen this at another friend's LJ & had added the code. Yay - no more boxes! :)

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

Only thing I post to FB is MY posts and not all the time. I don't touch the buttons that say link to FB and twitter on the comments. Except I don't see them here... Something about reporting to settings though. Oh wait, up where the name is i see FB and OpenID? What the heck is OpenID?

I don't mind crossing my posts but my comments and others? Heck, yah I mind!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I wasn't worried that anyone on my flist would cross-post anything, but I just wanted to mention it (& say that I wouldn't be either! *g*)

I've disabled the function now so the buttons are gone. Though I have no idea what an openID is either!

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

Well I'm giving u my answer that I won't. Got to go disable it myself....why don't more people do that? One of my friends on Here is going friends-locked cuz of this. Why did lj decide to do this? I'm not going to put anymore of my Posts on FB anymore now I think...... Oh well, not like anyone read them from over there anyways. :)


Think someone knows what OpenID is?

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

OpenID is Open Source Identification. Live Journal, Dreamwidth, Insane Journal, WebBlog, etc. are all built on the Open Source Coding Platform. That means that the basic code used to operate those sites is available for anyone with the knowledge and servers to use.

If you have a user ID and password from any of those sites, you automatically have an OpenID. If you want to post a comment to someone's DW account but don't have a DW account of your own, you can log in under OpenID with your LJ user ID and password.

Facebook is not Open Source. It's proprietary code. LJ now has it set up so that a Facebook user can log in to LJ with their FB user id and password in order to comment on your public posts. Ain't it grand? /sarcasm.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for explaining that. :)

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank u for taking the time to explain.

[tingreca.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you - I think I fixed mine.

And thank you for the pretty.

Now I can curl up and go back to sleep.....

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

The pretty always help. :)

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

I've tried that and it still comes up. What the heck am I doing wrong? Put .b-repost-item {display:none} in the Custom Stylesheet box(It is that one and not the Custom external stylesheet URL correct? didn't touch that one) but when I went to post or pretend to post still saw. Will try again. I wonder if it's cuz I got FB going straight from my LJ? Can that be it?

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

You know....I wonder if it's my style. Going to change and see if it works then.

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

Their whitened out.... Means it worked now? I hope so! I even stopped my crosspost I make myself to FB!!!!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I think that's it. :)

[jslvr4vr.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen them come up except on journals that haven't locked it down yet. So I'm saying yes, just had to change my style. That's why it wouldn't work. :)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Great! :)

I only have a twitter account, I don't have any of the others and I never will! LJ has some nerve forcing this crap! Love the pic!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I think LJ were probably just thinking of making it easier to cross-post - without thinking it through for those who are more concerned about privacy.

I just love this pic - the way they're so in synch as they walk & talk together. ♥
