Links on LiveJournal pages weren't working for me anymore, unless I right-clicked to open them in a new window. It was due to new script that LJ had added, that runs when you click on links. I'm not particularly against LJ making some extra money by adding affiliate info to links which don't already have them.
But I use NoScript to block javascript by default, and the annoying thing was that the site that I needed to unblock for the links to work, wasn't showing up in the list that NoScript provides on each page, for you to choose which sites to allow. Or at least it didn't show up on the pages I was on to begin with.. So even though I temporarily allowed all sites that were listed, the links still didn't work. Once I navigated to the LJ Homepage or somewhere, then I found a different entry in the list, and tested that allowing that site made the links work again. In the middle of this process, my laptop crashed, and gave me an even dimmer view of the link-jacking. So then I was annoyed enough that I chose to turn off the functionality as described in the above-linked page.
