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

[vaysh]

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

[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]

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

[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]

Messages you can't read can seem really sinister!

I hope they see sense and ditch it asap D:

[birdsofshore]

GRACE I ADORE YOU!!!!!

it WORKS, OH JOY

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

[huldrejenta.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[birdsofshore]

What a relief! *hugs you*

[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 below! There's a fix!

[oakstone730.livejournal.com]

OH THANK YOU!

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

Woot! Thank you so much!

[lightofdaye]

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

[birdsofshore]

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

Scroll down and uncheck "bottom information strip"

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

You are all things perfect!

*clings*

Thank you so much!

[capitu]

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

[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

[vaysh]

OMG, thankyouthankyouthankyou!

[vaysh]

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

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

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

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Poor Stan Lee LOL

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

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[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.

[who_la_hoop]

Russian maps! Obviously :D

[birdsofshore]

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

[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.

[birdsofshore]

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

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Nope but it just seems to have already disappeared :)
