Pingbacks?

[ffutures]

Anyone know what this is about?

Pingbacks have returned. If you've previously selected a setting, it will be the same; if you've never selected a setting, it will default to Open (on). You can change your setting here.

If you've been using the previous version of Facebook Connect, you'll need to reactivate your settings here.

I don't use facebook - it's presumably important or livejournal wouldn't have had this pop up as soon as I touched the site - so I've disabled it until I know.

LJ News has some information

and the comments some ways of removing the screen clutter if you use Firefox and Greasemonkey.

Thanks - looks like it isn't something I need worry about too much.

Do you have a pale blue bar across the top of the page too, which you can't remove?

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

Try clicking the x in the top right corner of it? That worked for me in IE.

[vicarage.livejournal.com]

That worked, thanks.

It worked in firefox as well.

And the link it gave was very handy in finally giving me a direct way to get rid of the lj messenger bit that keeps screwing up my page.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Yep.

That irritated me this morning, too but I clicked the x and it was gone.
