Fixing it so it STAYS fixed.

I am used to using client-side overrides to defeat bad web design since there is so much amazingly rotten web design. In another oddly placed post it is mentioned how to use a user style sheet to completely rid oneself of the irritating navigation bar. I've tried this and it works well. It's annoying that I'll need to copy this bit onto each machine I use, but at least it's possible to make LiveJournal present itself to me as I wish it to.

ADDENDUM: I read a bit fast and overlooked that if one is using S2 styles, as I am, that their is a custom style sheet entry in the settings page that will make ?style=mine do the right thing without needing a client-side style sheet. The client-side style sheet is more universal, so I'm doing that as well.

Something must've gotten through, almost, as the hidden announcement post now has comments enabled - though all will be screened, so make of that what you may.

did you turn it back off?

Yes, but that doesn't keep it off everywhere. It only keeps it from presenting itself to me when I look my own LJ or my friends list. If I follow an entry, it can appear. That was true before, but before it wasn't the default (which many either haven't gotten around to changing or just won't change) while this bit of CSS gives me the universal relief I seek.
