Is it just me or is there serious continuity!fail going on in the latest Doctor Who episodes?

( spoilers for the episode 606 )

lavvyan summed up the shenanigans this time in her post here.

Basically LJ has set the default for all private journals and communities to screen comments from non-friends with links.

I suggest you check your settings if you disagree with these settings.

I've changed the setting already this morning for pretty much every community I have access to (including spn_vs_cops_fic, Rinne), so I hope the other mods are okay with that. You can change it back if not. :)

(Thanks for the heads up rinkle; this is copied form her post.)

Noticed that when you mouse over a link it comes up with 'outboundlink.me'? From this post:

"The way it does this is an enormous security risk. What the script does is wait until you mouse over a link. Then, it activates and sends information about that URL to a company called outboundlink.me. This outboundlink site parses the URL the script sent it, compares it to a list of sites that LJ is affiliated with, and decides whether or not the URL needs to be modified. If it does need to be modified, then the site adds/adjusts it accordingly and sends the user on to the newly readjusted URL. If it doesn't need to be modified, then it simply bounces the user without doing anything else.

The problem is that this process involves sending information about these URLs to an outside company as soon as you mouse over the link. Every link you mouse over gets sent. Which means that an enterprising script kiddie with some time on his or her hands could pretty easily intercept the 'GET' requests that the script sends to the outside site, and would know what people linked in f-locked or private entries. Depending on the entry and the URL, the link could have other account information associated with it, which makes scripts like these perfect backdoors if you really want to screw with someone and you know a little code."


How to turn it off, so that it doesn't happen to you (although it will come up on your LJ if other people view and don't turn off this):

Admin console

set opt_exclude_stats 1

Hit 'execute' after.

Dear Amazon.ca Customer,

We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Cairo Time have also purchased Keeper on DVD. For this reason, you might like to know that Keeper is now available. You can order yours by following the link below.

New-minted reality star Steven Seagal is not only top-billed but also cowrote (sans credit) this direct-to-video actioner that delivers his patented combination of martial arts and flinty glares. Seagal is a much-decorated cop whose partner tries to kill him over some ill-gotten drug money. But as any Seagal fan already knows, the man is Hard to Kill, so after a quick recuperation, he's back in action, but now as the bodyguard to the daughter of a wealthy oil magnate. The attempt to forge a thriller along the lines of Man on Fire is commendable, if not entirely achievable, given the film's threadbare budget and frequent gaffes (Seagal's character is Rolland Sallinger in the first half and Ballinger in the second).



Yeah I bought Cairo Time - an independent Canadian film, set in Cairo, that is a slow-building romance. Apparently this means I would like to buy a badly made and written action movie starring Seagal... Um, no. But honestly, did anyone read that synopsis? Ha! O_o

Okay, so the name amused me. But the GAME!! OMG these people are on drugs! Really, seriously? No way!! ladydeadlock just pointed this out and it's so freaky. You can dress up a trout as a princess or put little earmuffs on it. O_O

Sea kittens game

OMG, it's like election campaign fanfiction.
