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.

Thank you so much for the hint. Tried it and it works. I make sure to spread the word. ^^

does it repost them automatically?
I don't see what the problem is if you can just... not turn it on?

(btw, your layout is like woah :D)

Basically, from what I understand, if you comment on a person's f-locked post and link it to your FB or Twitter, it cracks the lock (for lack of a better term) and everyone can see the f-locked post.

I don't have anything f-locked that no one else in my family doesn't know, but I would hate for that information to be floating around FB, especially where privacy is not their primary focus. LOL

At least if someone tries to link to an f-lock post on LJ directly, they get a big ol' denied post.

ALL MY PRON TO MY NON-PRON FRIENDS?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I do not like it!

Exactly. Which is why people are panicking/getting totally upset. But, just throw that css code in your custom CSS style (I threw it in after my current code) and it seems to work like a charm.

Personally, I like the line I draw in the sand between RL and my fangirlness, thank you.

Well i´m not really pleased with ´new/old´feature as well.. :/ LJ is LJ and no FB, Twitter ect.. if you want to share your other account between them, just link them...-.-
But thank dear for the code i will add it too :D *hugs*

Thanks for that!!! I wasn't really aware of what was going on, so thanks for clearing that up :) How do I know if it works though?

[jeyla4ever.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm really dumb so this much i know...this is important.

Now slowly explain this to me please. I have lJ and I have twitter and I've just recently joined twitter with my photobucket account, but I don't want LJ connected with twitter.

Does this information affect me, then?

[yappichick]

Ok, basically it's like this...

You make a post titled "Dude, I just totally stole candy from a baby!" and you make the post f-locked. I, in turn, write, "Dude! That's totally awesome! I stole candy from a baby last week too! It was a chocolate bar!"

Then, I click to share it on Twitter and Facebook. That means everyone who is connected with me there gets linked back to my comment. While the post itself is still locked (They can't read what's in the entry), they can read your username, the title of the post and my comment. And based on what my comment said, it can give away what you posted about.

And, if someone uses your name in the comment, then it wouldn't take someone that much of a guess to find out who you are in RL. And like I told Laura, I like to control the line between RL and fangirlness.

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. ;)

[yappichick]

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.)

AH.....so I don't want that. Must get that fixed! Thanks. I think I get it now.
