I am almost done tweaking my layout. I always hold onto a layout for years, so I'm making sure everything is the way I want it. Thanks to fueschgast for solving my other questions! You were a big help

I have another sidebar question for you. I don't want to make another post, as it will be my third :D But I thought it might be a quick fix, if you're up to it. I just have a feeling it's one tiny thing, but I can't find it.

My default userpic is right where it needs to be in my journal and the same in most of my friends page. But I realized it looks weird if people aren't using links in their journal. Their default userpic is way too high and leaks off the page. Any ideas?

The first image is a friends entry who has a Links List:



The second image is a friends entry who doesn't have a Links List:



Also, why I'm at it... is there a way to scoot my replied comments over to the left, so the sidebar image is touching?
Juuust noticed that.

Hi. I can look into this if it can wait a bit, but right now I am on my way to the airport, so I'll be away for a bit. If it is urgent, you better make a new postor ask someone else. :)

Sorry for the late reply. But yes, I would love your help when you are able to. Thank you!

Back again (more or less).

Re: the (mis)placement of the defaultuserpic:
Well, that's something that can't be "fixed" with CSS. The layout you chose will only work properly with a linklist (and even then it will only show the first five links (according to the maker). It's a quirk of this layout! The maker of the layout intentionally "misplaced" the defaultuserpic by adding a huge margin to create the unique effect of showing the defaultuserpic and the linklist side by side. Usually those two elements of the sidebar would be displaced one below the other (in this case first the linklist, then the picture). With this coding the huge top-margin now pushes the defaultpicture upwards, basically forcing it to overlap with the linklist. The downside is that it will look screwed up to everyone who isn't using the linklist. You could "fix" the margin, but then the lovely effect of the picture right next to the linklist would be gone for everyone and I don't think you'd want that?

Re: Comments indenting on the right side:
There is a tutorial in the comm to change this. You need to have a theme layer, though. Since you have a permanent account, you should be able to use one. I think you mentioned that you already have one, but that it doesn't contain any code? In which case you could just add and modify the code there and apply your theme layer. Otherwise I'd recommend this this tutorial about using theme layers if you already have a custom layout! Let me know if you need any help

You're awesome. Thank you so much for getting back to me - I really, really appreciate it :)
That's a bummer about the Links List, but at least I know what the problem is now. I know all about theme layers. I used one for my last layout, so I'll work on that and see what happens. Unfortunately, my internet is on the fritz right now. U-verse will be here on Tuesday, so I'll have to wait and mess around with it then. I'll let you know - Thanks again!!
