Tweaking a few things...

((Posted from MCC's Computer Lab))

I've been twiddling with the settings a little, as you can see from the changed backgroud (a "Matrix" fanart entitled "Furious Angels"; love it! Wish I could find the full-sized version and use it as a wallpaper), and changing a few other little details.

I need some help though. Can anyone tell me how to change the layout for pages behind the lj-cut? I've just discovered that on my page, the default layout for lj-cut pages doesn't show up. It's got the same layout as the main page, and thus, you can't see my spiffy icons (Like the one I made of Flood, from the MxO and/or DegSep, which I'm using on this entry), unless you've seen the entry from your LJ-friends page. I've got some readers who aren't on LJ, so I'm afraid they're missing out on half the fun.

Edited to Add: Hm, you can see the icon if you click on the "Post a Comment" link, which I changed to "Call the Operator".

Edited to Add, June 11th, 12.50 a.m.: Figured out how to force the new layout off the comments/LJ-cut pages. Thanks, Eastpath!

I think you have to use the S2 style system for that, but I'm not sure...

Hm... I'm on the S@ style system, so I haven't the foggiest notion of what's going on with the layout... I'll poke around the site, see if I can get some help. I'll figure it out.

there is an option for the entry view to match your layout somewhere.. it might be in the customization area... i've never used your style before so i'm not sure what to do with it...

er.. i just scrolled down a bit to find an entry with an lj cut and your style displayed just fine on the page? or was that not the problem oO

Okay... I wanted the pages behind the cuts to look the way it did before I went to the paid account... maybe it's just this computer. ::Logging out and logging back in again, to see if it clears this out::

Oooh... I get you... One of the benefits of paid account status is not having to have any part of your journal look like the regular LJ layout... if you want your user icons to appear on your posts behind the LJ cut you might wish to consider using a different layout...?

There is also an option to "Show user picture icons with each of your entries?" which may be set to No in your case under the Edit Customizations page. Hope that helped :)

There is also the option to set the comments display to match the lj layout too. For example my journal which is paid and showes my style for everything. Right now I'm seeing the LJ layout...

Hm... I'll try that one. I actually prefer the default layout for the LJ-cut/comments pages, since I sometimes print out pages from my stuff, and it makes it easier if it's the default layout. It fits on the pages better. But I'll take another look under the hood and see what I can tinker with.
