Cross-poster (again)

[vampwillow]

When using the cross-poster, if you select Disable comments on crossposts made to other sites on you accounts page a message "This entry was originally posted at http://xxxxx.dreamwidth.org/0000.html. Please comment there using OpenID.", clearly indicating it was cross-posted.

If you don't disable comments at the receiver end though there is no indication that it was cross-posted at all.

I'm not sure if this is a missing feature (_option_ to include "This entry was originally posted at http://xxxxx.dreamwidth.org/0000.html") or a needed clarification on the accounts page.

Personally I'd like the fact it was cross-posted to be automatically included, but I can see not everyone might.

Thoughts?

Please, not so much.

We are on lj as singlet; we're not known there. There are some who might noght take well to us...

I can see why people would want that though, expecially those who have the same name, but our dreamwidth was meant to be a place where we could sort of throw off the singlet mask and be *us* (as is our inksome, but ya know.)

I'm thinking of this purely as a x-post *option*, ie always selectable by the user. It just appears wrong that a byeline appears with one usage and not the other.

and welcome to being 'us' here ;-P

In that case, I think maybe there should be a checkbox under the cross poster when someone doesn't disable comments. "Would you like to show where this has been crossposted from/where it was originally posted?" something along those lines. A bit morecoding, perhaps, but yeah.

And thank you. :)
