stealth LJ upgrades
Sep. 20th, 2003 01:51 pmI 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.
