comments pages

[kellifer]

Ugh, I thought I was fine but it obviously took a few days for the comments page changes to upload on my journal for some reason because I could see the updates today. Then I had to scroll through the f-list to find the fix because I thought I didn't need it.

I'm not too fussed, it's not what I'm used to which is probably why it doesn't look right but what I really can't put up with is loading the usericon pictures to choose from instead of just the list because it takes forever to load for me (because I have squillions of them) so I had to fix it.

Here's the fix in case anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Comment pages to be in your own style - go to journal/journal style/customize/customize your theme. Scroll down to find "disable customized comment pages for your journal" and set it to NO.

Go to profile/settings and click on the display tab. Check off "view all journals and communities in my own style."

In a cruel twist of fate - most social networking sites at my work are blocked during business hours. LJ is not blocked yet Dreamwidth is... argh!!

Thanks for reposting that so I didn't have to hunt it down again, too. This is so very, very ridiculous.

I figured some others might need it like me - that the changes might not have been apparent straight away.

It's a relief to see my old comment page again!!

my work blocks Dreamwidth too! I don't get the logic, but, not gonna raise the question to anyone in IT.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Heh... probably not a good idea!

I went and bought a smartphone so I'd have access to the outside world while at work. (Or at least to check my gmail, tumblr, and LJ/DW)

I could probably get a work phone and that stuff isn't blocked but I refuse to let them have access to me outside of business hours!! :) I've been oncall before... never again!

[amalthia]

I wouldn't go for a work provided phone. They can check your data usage, phone calls, and etc...too invasive for me.

Thanks for the step by step. The whole shit storm doesn't seem to have bothered me yet but I'm sure it will.

Just signal boost. :)

A note on the fix: it doesn't work if you have a basic account. So basically you get to choose between shitty display or ads. :/

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I know... I think it only works for the S2 ones unfortunately... :(

Not sure if it has an effect or not

[yasminke.livejournal.com]

But on the profile page, there's also a "View comment pages from my Friends page in my own style" button.

Re: Not sure if it has an effect or not

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Ah, I guess that would be the same as changing in your profile, just a quicker way? :)

Re: Not sure if it has an effect or not

[yasminke.livejournal.com]

Honestly not sure. I just ticked everything. ;)

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Oh, bless you. Thank you so much. Permission to c&p info in my own journal with credit?

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about credit - I've seen the exact same instructions in multiple journals now so I think we're all just signal boosting. Feel free to share. :)

[crayonbreakygal.livejournal.com]

Didn't know you could change it. Thanks for the tip. Not sure if it bothers me at all though. Good to know if it does get that way.

Blocking DW but not LJ? Huh.
