Is there still such a thing as an early adopter account here at JF? I'm too broke right now to renew my paid account, and it looks like it bounced me back to free after it expired.

| S2 Layout Issues |
[20 Nov 2008|04:46pm] |
Hi, Guys. I know a good many of the S2 themes are kinda hosed right now. Something changed with the LJ migration to their new data center. The Bloggish and Style Contest themes have their CSS hosted at LJ. That's by LJ's design, with how the code is distributed. The code is set to use LJ's CSS proxy to handle the access and display of the CSS settings. Since LJ's move, though, the CSS proxy has been kaput. But the CSS itself at LJ is still working. Until we can find a way around all this, a couple users have a way that you can use the Custom CSS in your customization area to get your layouts pretty damn close to the original for that layout and theme.
You'll enter two sets of code in that area. The first one would be the code from this URL:
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/common/base-weblog.css
Just go there, copy it, and paste into the custom CSS box.
And the second set you enter will be from the direct CSS URL for your specific theme. You can locate this URL by viewing the source of your journal in your browser (View Source code). If you scroll down to the <link rel="stylesheet" section of the source code, you'll see the direct url to your theme's CSS at livejournal. Go there, copy that code, and paste it after the base-weblog.css code above. Make sure you have "No" selected to use the included base code (it's a dropdown), and that the URL field above the custom CSS box is empty. Click to save changes, and your theme will display much as it is supposed to. There is occasionally an element like a border that doesn't come through, but it's pretty close.
As an example of the CSS URLs, this is the one for the Baby theme for the Bloggish layout:
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/lilia/theme-baby.css
The CSS URLS will be start with
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml with the rest varying by theme and layout.
I'll still be looking for an alternative to having to futz with custom CSS, but in the meantime, that method of applying the CSS will get your Bloggish and Style Contest journal themes put back together pretty well.
Thanks,
Robin

Populace of JF: Just let the Twilight shit GO, all right? I have a hunch that the only reason people are dumping all the Twilight stupidity in the Lounge--outside of Twimoms and things posted on MSM blogs--is because most of these wankers are underage.
It's mostly teens getting overworked over a teen movie and a teen book. You may as well go poking up old Beatlemania things. (Or learn Korean, but those would also be underage wankers.) Or Elvis. People still get worked up over Elvis, and he's been dead since before I was born.
