By the way (LJ geekery)

[beowabbit]

By the way, somehow last night all my LJ journal customization got deleted — my journal was set to a different style, and when I set it back the custom colours and other configuration had all been lost. Did that happen to anybody else, by any chance? (I’m sure I wasn’t anywhere near the customization page before that happened.)

Edit: Correction. At least for my colours, the customizations weren’t lost; they just don’t seem to be being applied. I’ve said to make all the text black, but it’s still grey.

Edit edit: I’ve managed to get things working again. What I did (and I don’t know which of these bits were necessary) was go to the Customize Journal page at http://www.livejournal.com/customize/, change my style from Component to Generator, change my language from Danish (which it had peculiarly become set to when I changed the style) to English, change the style back to Component, click "Remove Customizations", and then click "Customize" and make all my changes again.

are you using anything like proxomitron web filters? and what browser? i can't view people's lj styles "properly" in firefox pretty often.

I’ve never heard of proximotron web filters. Firefox, but it’s worked fine for me for ages. My S2 style actually got switched to something else, for no reason I can see. (It changed to “Generator”, which I think is the default.) The style changed back to “Component” when I went into “Customize Journal” and set it that way, but my font colours aren’t being used.

Oh, well; I’ll probably survive. :-)

I've heard complaints before about livejournal's styles being a bit buggy, and only experimented with them abortively when I was a paid user. Beyond my patience. Maybe they just changed something. I see your journal still has grey font in all browsers I peeked in; I was just guessing, because someone else's type went invisible for me in one but not another, at one point.

Proxo blocks things like popups and certain javascripts.

Something very similar happened to me last week-- my style got changed. (I hate when that happens!). In trying to get it back to what it was, I found one I liked better. :-)

Has LJ been cramping your style? ;)

It's been happening to me, too. First, I lost everything, then I lost just my background tile, and so I reset it... and now it's gone again. le sigh.
