vakkotaur: (mushroom cloud)


When I switched to PCLinuxOS I also went to the latest version of Opera. That was fine, but evidently my custom user.css file was clobbered despite my backup. One nuisance was that the despicable LJ navbar would show up again at times. Then I found that Opera was rendering the contemptible <marquee> tag and it wasn't just a stupid CSS trick. And then to really torque me off, I found Opera lowered itself even further to rendering the <blink> tag as well. This cannot be allowed to stand. One of the many reasons I started using Opera was that such idiocies were not rendered. Fortunately there is a work-around for this deficiency of rendering tags that really ought not to be rendered, but rather shot.

Nuking the stupidity with CSS. )

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.

It would be good if the navbar obeyed the ?style=mine bit and didn't appear to me on pages I went to from my own journal or friend's list. As it is, it doesn't follow that cue and is quite annoying.
