LJ meta

[cellio]

Several people on my friends page have switched to new ("s2") styles, which also affect the comments page. Some of those styles are, to me, unreadable -- either completely unreadable due to color/font choices or merely annoying due to graphics, spacing, etc. I seem to recall that there's supposed to be some way to impose a uniform style on all comments pages that I view, but I can't find any evidence of this feature now. Anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking? (Yeah, I could submit a support request, but I figured I'd ask my friends first.)

Thanks. I was apparently misremembering the desire for a "set this globally" feature for the existence of said feature. (Sigh. I don't want to individually twiddle URLs; I want it to Just Work, via some setting in my profile, the way the counted comments links do.)

Is my style unreadable to you?

Not unreadable, though not my first choice of style. The large gaps between comments mean more scrolling, and if the font were any smaller I'd run into problems, but your font is readable for me as-is and your colors are fine. (I've seen color combinations that result in so little contrast that I have to select a block of text in order to read it.)

I also didn't mean to imply any specific criticims in my post; what works fine for one person may be a challenge for another. The default LJ black on white with blue headers and the like isn't very pretty, but it's functional. I hope they implement something that lets a user set how he views entry pages (comments or behind cuts): style as it appears, his own journal settings, or the (current) LJ default. If they do that, everyone will be happy except maybe the people who have to implement it. :-)
