oh snap

If you're using Firefox, you can block Snap previews, like what LiveJournal just added, as long as you have Adblock installed and block "http://shots.snap.com/*".  Disabling graphic previews at your journal's Viewing Options page doesn't help for the rest of the site, and the Options menu within each Snap preview that allows you to disable the stupid things doesn't work at all.

Looks like i might just stop paying for this journal after all.

With any browser you can use Proxomitron (http://www.proxomitron.info/), a sweet little web-filter. Set it up as a webproxy, point your browser to it, and it speedily filters websites as you receive them, replacing the bad stuff with stuff your browser mostly ignores. Easy to set up exclusions, totally-blocked sites like the above, etc. Comes pre-install with loads of useful features, and that site is a clearinghouse for additional filters and such that people have added. Or so it says, I haven't looked. It's also stable as hell-- probably it crashed on my about twice since I started using it years and years ago.
