Fixing up LJ
I don't know how many of you read the comments on the LJ News posts, but there were some really useful things linked in the latest one. Here somebody linked to My LJ, for anyone who's not enjoying the new homepage (which tbh wasn't bothering me overly much, but this is a lot nicer).
Even better are a couple of scripts a user has created for putting subject lines back in comment headers, having a subject box again when posting a comment (both of which are extremely useful with many fan communities), and making the default comment pages easier on the eyes. I've asked the user who wrote them if I can link to the script posts here, but until she gets back to me on that, here's the comment she left at news with the links. I had no idea how to install a script, but it's just a matter of clicking a couple of things at most, and they're working great for me so far-- and I hear there's one that puts the preview button back in the comment box, but I haven't found that yet. Will link if/when I do. :)
Meanwhile, my icons are going to be going wonky because they've all expired except the default fifteen, but I'm not paying for any more services here unless customer service improves drastically. I miss my icons. :(
