mod announcement: new comm layout

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

sgagenrefinders, this is your new layout! Ta-da, and all that.

It doesn't look the same in IE as it does in Opera and Firefox, but this is as unified a look as I could get the codes to do, so. It'll have to do.
ETA3: Actually, yes it does, now that we have a paid account. [see ETA2 below] *bounces*

Suggestions, complaints, comments, all that jazz - you know the drill.

ETA1: Due to some unresolvable CSS coding differences between browsers the comm will be losing the mood theme and switching to a plus account. Sorry about the ads and the lack of lovely animated gifs. C'est la CSS.

ETA2: !!! Whoever just gifted the comm with 2 months of paid account time, thank you muchly! You shouldn't have, but thank you anyways. *loves on nonny gifting mice* _{The mood theme pics are back! \o/}

ETA4: (the last one, I promise) Customized comment pages, y/n? Comment below.

Ta-da, and all that.

Way to bring on the excitement. ;)

I love it, but you already know that. *hugs*

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I love it that you're blind to all its faults. Either that, or your FF doesn't see what mine does.

*runs off to code code code some more of the bugs out*

It looks really, really good in Firefox :)

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

*hides* Thanks, but maybe your FF is not seeing what mine is. *runs to pray for the coding glitches to go away*

Could be, I have many, many issues with the laptop I'm using and any type of internet browser at this point. I'm starting to feel a bit homicidal towards gmail, but I don't know if it's a gmail problem, or my laptop at this point *grins*

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Poor you, and poor laptop! *huggles own bay-bee close* I know all about old 'puters, but I love it to heck. Also, heh, you should try yahell sometime, and see that it does live up to its nickname. ;-)

The community looks great!! Thanks for all your hard work!

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

I'm happy you like it and took the time to feed back - thank *you*.

Yay layout!

ETA4: (the last one, I promise) Customized comment pages, y/n?

Please, please NO. Customized comment pages are the work of the devil.

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

You vote has been noted. :-) I'll keep them on for most of this week, then decide based on everyone's opinions whether they stay or not. (Hopefully. I'd've thought they'd be more folks commenting about the change right away.)

[dossier.livejournal.com]

Customized comment pages, y/n?

I vote no, I prefer the plain one, and it saves me from refreshing the page with style=mine, for yo, I am lazy.

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Your vote has been noted. Thanks for commenting! (Also, ?format=light is the way to go - thankfully firefox's add-on can be persuaded to load all lj pages in it.)

I used to use that script, but then I discovered that I had to revert them back to basic urls for more efficient tagging, so now I just use a widjet button to re-set the most egregious offenders. :) This comment page is actually not too bad.

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

This comment page is actually not too bad.
I'm just trying to give the comm members a chance to feel the democracy and not shove the tag list under new lazy members' noses, oh no, not at all. ;-)

[dossier.livejournal.com]

the tags to the right are awesome! My only peeve is the post/reply/link line is separated from its post with an HR, so that it looks like it belongs to the post below. However, I never view the comm that way, so it's merely my peeve. Looks great!

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I know the layout is not perfect, but after a whole heck of a lot of code wrangling, this is as good as it gets. Also, I love the bulleted tag list, which is why I chose it in the first place. :-)

[atlantisgrrrl.livejournal.com]

Customized comment pages, y/n?

No. Plain ones.

Also \o/.

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Noted.

Also ...::hugs::... :-)

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

When you click on a post/request, and get to the page where you only see that one post and its comments - that's a comment page. Customized means that the comm's layout - graphics, tags, etc. - is present there as well. Not customized would be what the comment pages looked like before I implemented the new layout; similar to, for example, the light format of this page (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/340736.html?format=light).

Hope that was clearer than mud. :-) Lemme know if it helps you decide which you'd prefer.

Oh, and thanks! (I love the bulleted tags myself.)
