STAN LEE ADVERT RAGE - NOW FIXED :D

[birdsofshore]

Has anyone else got this fucking Stan Lee advert at the bottom of their page? How the ruddy nora do I get rid of it? I use the internet on a netbook and it's currently obscuring 1/8 of my entire browser window and giving me the absolute raaaaaaaaaage!

HEEEEELP!!

love, Birds
xxx

E.T.A. Oh kayyy, it seems pretty universally despised, and without a simple fix so far.... Good grief, LJ /o\

LJ Support requests

E.T.A AGAIN: gracerene posted how to fix it! Go here: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions and uncheck "bottom information strip" near the bottom. *breathes massive sigh of relief*

Oh my god, right?!

Getitoff getitoff getitoff! >:(

[birdsofshore]

I am so irritated by anything changing, even when it's ostensibly an improvement, so this is making me feel homicidal. GRRRRRRRRR. Things changing VISUALLY makes me super stressed and angry! But your companionable misery makes me feel a little better ;-)

edited to rant in a bit more detail

[birdsofshore]

See grace's comment below! There's a fix!

http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions

Scroll down and uncheck "bottom information strip"

:DDD

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

Woot! Thank you so much!

[vaysh]

Oddly, I only have Russian stuff. But - *sigh* - whatever happened to no ads on a Paid Account, LJ?

[birdsofshore]

Oh, I guess it's the same thing in Russian? Extremely annoying D:

[birdsofshore]

See grace's comment below! There's a fix!

[capitu]

I have stuff in Russian, too!!! :/

Scroll down and uncheck "bottom information strip"

:DDD

[oakstone730.livejournal.com]

Yes! MAKE IT GO AWAY! Mine is all in Russian which is making me feel like Putin thugs are monitoring what I'm doing!

[birdsofshore]

Messages you can't read can seem really sinister!

I hope they see sense and ditch it asap D:

[birdsofshore]

See grace's comment below! There's a fix!

:DDD

[oakstone730.livejournal.com]

OH THANK YOU!

[gracerene]

I got rid of mine just go here http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions

and click the tick box next to Bottom Information Strip (it';s at the bottom of the page)

[birdsofshore]

GRACE I ADORE YOU!!!!!

it WORKS, OH JOY

Thank you so much, seriously, I can breathe without wanting to yell.

[huldrejenta.livejournal.com]

Yes - this :D

ETA: For me it was LJ Show Time or something like that I had to click, and I also had the russian stuff.

[gracerene]

I was weirdly excited when I saw your post, because I was like, I CAN FIX THIS! :D

I felt very important. ;)

[birdsofshore]

I'm so HAPPY!!!

[huldrejenta.livejournal.com]

Dear lord, I love you so much <3 Thanks!!!

[birdsofshore]

What a relief! *hugs you*

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

You are all things perfect!

*clings*

Thank you so much!

[vaysh]

OMG, thankyouthankyouthankyou!

[lightofdaye]

No Stan Lee for me sadly. I've got a new LJTimes bar at the bottom though.

It seems to be hawking something in Cyrillic to me.

[birdsofshore]

See grace's comment! There's a fix!

http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions

Scroll down and uncheck "bottom information strip"

:DDD

[lightofdaye]

Thanks! It wasn't taking up much room for me but it wasn't adding anything either. So I ditched it.

[capitu]

My option didn't say "Bottom Information Strip". It was "LJTIMES" O_o

[who_la_hoop]

Mine too! And it seemed to be advertising... maps. o_0

Thank goodness for wizards on my flist who know how to expelliarmus such nonsense :D

[birdsofshore]

Maps! Those fiendish LJ types! (what kind of maps, seriously?)

They should know better than to mess with HP fans. We have powers beyond their ken.

[who_la_hoop]

Russian maps! Obviously :D

[birdsofshore]

*peers at you suspiciously* do they know something about you, that we don't?

[who_la_hoop]

It's hard to tell, given that it was all in Russian! Let's hope not...

*whistles a non-Russian tune unsuspiciously*

[vaysh]

Mine said LJTimes, as well. The programmers must be changing things live. O_o

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

On this:

E.T.A. Oh kayyy, it seems pretty universally despised, and without a simple fix so far.... Good grief, LJ /o\

I saw this on LJ'S support page:

Where does this bloody annoying notification bar come from and why can't I remove it? It's mostly Russian and I DON'T WANT IT THERE!!!!

LJ RAGE! You are so AWESOME XD XD XD

[birdsofshore]

Haha that wasn't my support request but mine was equally tetchy. To their credit, they did reply telling me how to fix it, but grace was faster.

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

I don't have something saying bottom information strip. Is there something else worded different that you know of?

[birdsofshore]

Some people have something called LJTimes? Do you have that one?

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Nope but it just seems to have already disappeared :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Poor Stan Lee LOL

COME ON, IT'S STAN LEE, BIRDS! *g*

[birdsofshore]

I'm so happy that Stan Lee is joining LJ. BUT I DON'T NEED A CENTIMETRE OF MY SCREEN DEVOTED TO THE NEWS, FOREVER AND EVER.

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

Huh? I haven't been spammed with any banners. I feel oddly left out. Also a bit smug.

[birdsofshore]

Perhaps they'll do a SPECIAL one for you, tomorrow? :D
