So LJ in its infinite wisdom has suddenly made it a lot easier for people to re-post your private entries to places that aren't quite so private.

Needless to say, if I post something in a friends-locked post, it contains personal information that I do not want you, ostensibly my friends, to be re-posting to your Facebook or the bulletin board outside your laundromat or anywhere else. It's just rude. So don't do it.
I have cross-posted from here to Facebook before, but at one point it quit asking me with each post and just started posting to Facebook automatically, which I do not want. It's disabled now.
But if you're concerned about the new little "repost to Facebook" button that is appearing in your replies, here's how to get rid of it:
Go to the main menu and click "Journal" then "Journal Style" then "Customize your theme" then "Custom CSS"
This will just show up as a large box, and should be either empty or be full of code.
If it's blank, just copy paste the code and click save
If it has code, skip down one space, copy paste the code and click save.
Here's what you need to paste
/* ---FB-Twitter Comment Ticky Fix--- */
.b-repost-items, .b-repost-item, .b-repost-item IMG, #entry-form-wrapper .b-repost-item, b-repost-item-fb {
display: none;
}
.b-repost-item .repost_disabled {
color: #CCC;
display: none;
}
It seems to be working for me. Credit where credit is due dept: this comes courtesy![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pteropusvenom. I guess this is the price Livejournal pays for trying to do all this stuff with open-source software, anybody can get in there and play around.
Additionally, I suggest everyone do what Donny Don't doesn't do and whatdisgruntledgrrl does, which is to hit Help up at the top of the page, then go down to Ask A Question and hit "open a support request" and then open a support request by asking if they can make this a feature that can be disabled in the privacy settings. Because this feature really needs to be something that each user can completely opt in our out of on a global basis.
