Strip

[ellarien]

Suddenly, that newfangled 'nav strip' seems to be turned on by default. I've turned it off for my own journal, but there's apparently no way to turn it off for other people's if they have it enabled that way, even by using '?style=mine', and all of a sudden most everyone does.

I don't, of course, presume to dictate how people display their own journals, but it bugs me just a little that LJ has first forced this default on everyone, and then not allowed me a way to opt out of seeing it.

Have you any idea how I can turn it back on, just briefly? I switched it off before I properly looked at it, which was a little careless of me, but I can no longer fathom large chunks of how LJ works. Funny, that.

Oh wait ... 'Viewing Option' is the place to go to get rid of it altogether. I'm still trying to figure out what it was that vanished when I clicked a button when I first fired up LJ this morning. Must be something different. I wish I was more awake.

I think the strip thing itself, if you're logged on, comes with a 'switch me off' button, which is probably what you clicked.

(Sorry about the previous, anonymous, version.)

It turns out I switched of the message alerting me to the fact they'd put the bar in ... I thought to log into one of my other accounts and see what happens. Either way, I've now killed the thing as I don't find it very useful.

I am sorry to say that it's part of your journal, too.

Like you, I know I've turned it of - and wouldn't you know, it appeared on top of my friendslist, too!

My own journal. Their settings. That's almost as bad as Yahoo suddenly deciding that every member of their e-mail lists will want the full colour horror.

Manage accounts: viewing options helped to turn it off - both for me and for everyone else, but why the hell did they have to turn it on again? They did that when they first introduced the darn thing, and I turned it off then.

This does not bide well for the advertising mode; and I am happy to report that so far my flist has resisted. THANK YOU.

Really? I turned it off (for me and other viewers) as soon as I saw it, and I don't see it now on my own journal, logged in or not.
