Livejournal style question.
Feb. 9th, 2009 02:34 pmEDIT: Question is now almost completely obsolete.
sheyrena is awesome and has helped me greatly. You should all send her many monies.
Original question follows!
-------------------------------------
So, I've managed to get my old look back after Livejournal totally fucked it up when I gave them money. The colours are all wrong, but I can fix the colours.
What I'm missing is a CRITICAL piece of livejournal functionality. And I have no idea how to redo it.
Take a look at my Friends page (using *my* style, or it won't make any sense).
See how the entries are listed, with usericons and custom colours for some people and what have you? And the timestamp is beside it?
The way I had it before, it did:
TIME
username
usericon
LINK
And LINK was a direct link to the specific post. No comments, didn't open a "reply to" window, didn't require that there BE comments to the post. The rest would be nice, but I REALLY want my direct linky thing back.
Right now, I get a direct link by clicking on the title, IF the post has a title, or by clicking on the "n comments" link, IF there are comments. If there are no comments and there is no title, I can only get a direct link by clicking on Reply To, and that's annoying. I don't want to have to move my mouse and play "find the clicky" if I'm skimming the list and opening a series. I want a direct open-this-post-and-all-comments link, in the same place on every entry.
Anyone know how?
EDIT: Also, fucking comment fucking pages.
I hate how livejournal collapses comment threads. That's why I have a firefox plugin that automatically opens all the comments on a post with collapsed comment threads and displays them all at once.
And, since I paid for my account, it's *not working* any more, because paid LJ accounts have their own thread expandycollapsy code.
How do I make livejournal always open all comment threads completely? I've paid for it and they've "upgraded" me, how do I make it work either the way I want, or the old free way that I had a perfectly acceptable workaround for? Livejournal Add-ons doesn't like some S2 styles. The one I was using is one of them. Swap styles, problem solved.
