I just upgraded my account and it DESTROYED MY THEME

Now all the layouts suck ass and I can't find my old, sensible, clear and completely familiar setup again.

Livejournal, you suck.

:O complain!

No wait, it's LJ. You're better off figuring it out anyway.

i believe if you go to select style from your profile, then pick "warm colors" from that menu, then choose "seeing red" out of those choices, that was what your journal kind of looked like...

That actually does look pretty close to my old layout. Supremely ugly colours, but reasonable layout. Thank you.

Don't suppose you've got a screenshot or similar of what it looked like? I only ever went to your post pages, never saw it before now.

Hacking LJ layouts is fun, so I can probably figure out how to get it as close as possible if you want.

I've got better: I'm archived in the Wayback Machine.

Unfortunately, it just has the main page and not the Friends, but they really did look pretty much the same.

Ah, that's the old S1 styling with some colour amendments I think.

Try switching to S1 and see what it looks like? Personally I dislike S1 and prefer the flexibility of S2, but I know a lot of people just don't like these newfangled code improvements ;-)

If you want that appearance, do you want the main column that wide, and do you want any sidebar stuf at all, if so move it to top, bottom or keep to ne side?

I switched to S1 last night, but I couldn't find a base that looked at all like it, let alone colours.

What I want:
Maximum use of screen (so, yes, very wide is good)
No pointless sidebar (previous X, next X, and links to profile/archive/mainpage/friends at the top are nice)

Simple colours. The big black bar indicating day change? I like that. The shading around the time and the userpic of the poster to the left of the entry (userpics not shown on my main page)? I like that. The plain black-on-white of the text in the body, with the standard colours for unfollowed and followed links. I like those.


Basically, what I want is it to look like it used to. And if that's done in S2, that makes me happy but dammit I just want it back.

Nobody looks at your journal anyway, you're on friends lists. :)
