One more time for the slow class

[neadods]

I followed the instructions on someone else's LJ to kill that annoying popup whenever you roll over a link on LJ, but it didn't take. One more time for the slow class, please? Because that little feature has to die. NOW!

Thank you bentleywg! Go to Viewing Options, uncheck "graphic previews," save.

I think it kills the pop-ups on your own blog but not on other people's blogs. Funny thing: the first snap preview I saw on LJ, the one that prompted/reminded me to turn them off on my own LJ, was on your blog last night. So, thanks for the reminder, and glad I could return the favor. :-)

Yep, I was right. I just checked it on a comment in someone else's blog. I moused over it while logged-in and not-logged-in, and the pop-up showed up both times. So, checking the box doesn't keep us from seeing them, but at least it keeps us from inflicting it on others.

If you use Opera as your browser, add this URL to your Blocked Content window:

http://shots.snap.com/*

That will disable the pop-ups completely.

Thanks! (Why didn't I think to add the URL to Adblock? Okay, it's done.)

I use Firefox (an old version), so the pop-up window still pops up, but now that it's blank it doesn't take as long. It still kinda breaks the back button, though.

Bugger.
