stealth LJ upgrades

[egypturnash]

I was looking at LJ's "manage info" page and found a new switch that made me happy:

View comment pages in your journal style?
Check this option to view comment pages in your journal style when following links from your friends page.

It's slightly less awkward than the html hack I'd done before. It still falls over if you make a comment and view the amended page, or click a link from elsewhere, or whatever - you get whatever the journal owner has selected. But it's better than nothing. Maybe they'll eventually upgrade it to something that can be a site-wide universal preference!

(Presumably if you use an s2 style that skins the comments page, you'd see everyone's comment pages looking like yours, when viewed from the friends page.)

---

Also, I should warn folks that comments on my journal are temporarily screened - I wrote a limited-access entry that I felt needed the freedom of comments only I and the poster will see, and you can't set only a single entry to have comments screened by default. Things should be back to normal by Monday, at the outside, and I'll be unscreening ones folks make in other entries soon after reading the notification mail. My journal doesn't usually turn into much of a discussion forum, so this shouldn't be a big issue.

I was wondering what the screening thing was. I had it happen on someone else's site.

Quick 't3chie' note about the new 'feature' actually...

Appending "&style=mine" to the end of any URL forced the logged-in style to over-ride wherever you go. With one exception: If the logged-in style is S1, the colour choices are NOT entirely used that I can see, but the visual styling apparently is.

*nod* And it's certainly easier to remember than adding "&s2id=27209347" or some other number!

I commented in someoone else's journal yesterday and encountered the new option unexpectedly. Also noted that in that case the resulting text was white letters on a white background, so check to make sure your own comments aren't doing that.
