Oh, look I'm complaning about LJ

Passed the get that FUCKING nav bar away from my journal (and communities) reaction, I'm just confused about why there's even an option for imposing this on all visitors of your journal.

I mean, the whole reason that lots of people don't like a navigation bar is because aesthetically it doesn't work with whatever graphic configuration you made for your journal. It's an alien block that's there, and supposedly useful for navigation when you're visiting other journals. Having it on your own journal is pointless because you usually have all links already there ! Forcing it to others visiting your journal is none of your business because it's not YOU it's going to help. The only thing you should have as an option is having turned on, for yourself only, when you visit other people's journal so that you can go back to your own in only one click (instead of two, so that rather limited as help goes *rolls eyes*)

Regardless, I really don't want to see that ugly piece of ware again. I want to turn it off from everywhere I go. AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THEM TURN ON THINGS WHICH I'D ALREADY SAID NO TO WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.


Thanks Livejournal. First time I had to rant about anything.

I remember seeing a warning on my flist about that if you didn't turn it off explicitly it would go for everyone. I did turn it off explicitly then.

It still went on for everyone everywhere (as far as I can see)

I'm pretty unhappy I can't turn it off for everywhere. I really don't see the point of forcing that bar on everyone, even as an option (and as they did it's the default)

Huh. Weird. I just went to turn it off on all my journals and one of them didn't have it turned on. One that was created after the navigation strip was introduced which obviously means that I turned the thing off during the creation of the journal. Otherwise I know I never bothered for as long as it wasn't showing.

And I don't see it either, really, but LJ does a lot of dumb things in general.

Weird stuff, heh ?

Oh well, now I've installed the "cheat code" thing catie linked to and it sees to be working fine. Trouble is, it won't work at work >_>;

Maybe it was just some bug or something.

You're not supposed to do read LJ at work anyway though XD In theory XD

I call it my addiction time. If the smokers are allowed a pause to feed teirs, why oughtn't I feed my own addiction ?

*snerk* That sounds oddly reasonable XD
