Is it possible to remove the "Post a Link" feature from the Status feature?

I've tried commenting out the "Post a Link" text with the language editor, but that doesn't work. I've changed the colour of the text but that only works on some page backgrounds and the hyperlink is still there.

I would love to install this feature but don't want members posting links that will lead away from my site, or worse, take them to the "competition".

Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?

Hey Linda!

You should be able to remove it via your Lanauge Editor. However, if that doesn't work, add this to your CSS:

.switch .xj_tab {display:none;}

(Found via Manage-Appearance>Advanced)

Hi Evan, thanks for your reply!

I've tried entering this in the language editor, and the CSS you suggested above in the Advanced section, but unfortunately neither worked. Both the link and the text still appear.

Hey Linda!

Sounds like something wonky is going on. You should contact the Help Center, and they should be able to help you sort this out.

Ok, will do...thanks!
Rather than bog down the Help Center with this question, I thought perhaps someone with CSS experience could make a suggestion.

I'd like to remove the "Post a Link" from the Status feature. I entered the code that Evan suggested into the Advanced section and it worked...momentarily. I also tried adding ! important; to see if that would work, but it didn't.

Does this code have to be in a particular section of the style sheet? Seems weird that it would work once and then stop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
