	Can I safely assume that anyone who would get pissed off about my turning on comment styles here already knows about style=mine and uses it? (That is the feature whereby comments always appear in your style, whether that's a customised style or one of the defaults) Current Mood: inquisitive Entry Tags: grail ( < \| 17 glosses \| comment \| > )

	I certainly use it. (After I went to all that effort to design a comment style that was significantly better than the default one, it'd be silly of me not to use it everywhere I possibly could!) ( reply \| thread )

senji	2004/01/14 08:47:46
	Indeed, that being the main motivatin for wanting to turn comment styles on :-). Grail isn't up to competent comments yet, but I'm never going to make it work if I don't have incompetent Grail comments staring me in the face... ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	I note in passing that the LJ profile option to force style=mine appears to Not Work with lynx. ( reply \| thread )

senji	2004/01/14 09:22:09
	How can it 'not work'? confused ( reply \| parent \| thread )

fluffymormegil	2004/01/14 09:49:20
	OK, it appears what I actually mean is "it only works from my friends page". Which is Not Good Enough, dammit! ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	Yes, I find that frustrating from work, since lnr_at_work is usually reading lnr's friend's page. And the comments count in the URL doesn't work either, which is even more frustrating. ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	I expect you can edit the style of a friendspage to add style=mine to all of the comment links, which forces all readers of the friendspage to read in their own style... ( reply \| parent \| thread )

senji	2004/01/15 00:46:32
	That should, in theory, be possible I guess. If the original journal is a paid one. ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	I'm pretty sure you can change comment-links in the overrides box (because you could add the ?nc= bit when they stopped using it for a while), but it's more complicated that way and I can't remember how to do it offhand. ( reply \| parent \| thread )

senji	2004/01/14 09:28:01
	OK, it Works For Me with Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6g Built on linux Sep 9 2002 20:50:41 ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	Can style=mine be used with S1? I don't see it ... ( reply \| thread )

chess	2004/01/14 09:20:23
	I'm still using S1, and style=mine will bring up the usual, old comments page. I use it; I think I just ticked a tickybox somewhere to make it happen. ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	Ah, never mind; I'm a muppet and didn't find editinfo.bml. ( reply \| parent \| thread )

That's a bloody annoying place to put that. I remember I ticked it some time back to see what it would do, and then didn't see it doing anything different; apparently none of my friends were using unique styles at the time. Now everyone's talking about it, I couldn't remember where to go to turn it back *off* again, to see the difference. Silly me, looking in the 'modify journal' part :P

	tickybox! ( reply \| parent \| thread )

	I know about `style=mine` but reserve the right to be sarcastic about eye-gouging nonetheless. ( reply \| thread )

senji	2004/01/14 17:53:48
	I don't think that Grail is currently eye-gouging, although some of the colours don't quite go together. Well, I'll turn it on and then I can start fiddling with it as I go on... ( reply \| parent \| thread )
