*sigh* What did they do? I'm not the only one who waited to see what would happen after todays "maintenance". And guess what a friend brought to my attention....

They've added another bar to our journals? Personally, I don't find this necessary but they are going to be using it on the Friends Page for filtering. And YAY the filtering is back to being in order. I can see this bar having... TAGS, PROFILE, MEMORIES, ETC on it.... we'll see.

But after all that work. Look at my friends page:

In case you can't tell it is overlapping my headerimage on my friends page. Not cool.

I've reported this to LJ so hopefully we will get a response and some resolution. I'll keep you all posted.

Remember that uplifting post about being able to change the look of the NEW LJ Nav Menu????

Well, now it isn't working so if you used that coding, I'd delete it if you can't see your journal all of the sudden. It is probably something in my coding but being the suspicious person I am... I find it odd LJ commented to my post to tell me it got so many hits and then the coding broke.

Again, maybe I'm being paranoid... more than likely. I'm looking into the coding and will post again should I figure out the issue. Of course, none of this would be an issue if LJ would just let us change the colors on the bar we see over our Journal's and Communities.

In case you are wondering... I still love Live Journal. I just wish they'd give us a little more freedom of design.

Okay this is very different! We should riot? No. Gosh, I know some people want to which I suspect is why

news no longer let's you comment to their posts which is kind of awful but at the same time probably saves their sanity. Still I get the first reactions towards annoyance and downright hatred of this new bar. Believe me. I get how annoying it can be when LJ changes something and our journal's are all messed up and we have no idea what to do to fix it and we are totally frustrated....

The idea behind this tutorial is to change the look of the LJ Navstip at the top which looks something like this...

Here is the coding I've pieced together.

/*-----------Navstip-----------*/

.w-cs DIV {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
float: none;
}

.w-cs .w-cs-userinfo {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #23CCBC;
border-right: 1px solid #3A4449;
float: left;
height: 50px;
min-width: 405px;
width: 40%;
 }

.w-cs {
color: #000000;
font: 10px/10px 'Arial','Helvetica',sans-serif;
}

.w-cs A:link, .w-cs A:visited, .w-cs A:active, .w-cs A:link B, .w-cs A:visited B, .w-cs A:active B {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent !important;
border: medium none !important;
color: #000000 !important;
font: 10px 'Arial','Helvetica',sans-serif !important;
text-decoration: none;
 }

.w-cs A:hover, .w-cs A:hover B  { color: #ffffff !important; }

.w-cs .w-cs-user-controls .w-cs-group-first, .w-cs .w-cs-group-second {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #23CCBC;
}

.w-cs .w-cs-status P {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent !important;
border: 0 none;
color: #000000;
float: none;
font: 12px/17px 'Arial','Helvetica',sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

.w-cs .w-cs-summary {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #dddddd;
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
float: right;
margin: -1px 0 0;
padding: 1px 7px;
}

.w-cs .w-cs-summary LI.w-cs-i-tokens {
background-position: 0 -788px;
border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;
margin-right: 6px;
padding: 3px 6px 3px 0;
}

.w-cs .w-cs-text {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #dddddd;
border: medium none;
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
color: #000000 !important;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 14px;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 0 3px 5px;
vertical-align: top;
}

.w-cs .w-cs-search .w-cs-text {
border-right: 25px solid #dddddd;
width: 150px;
}

Sometimes we implement a layout and the ads mess with the look of it. Little known fact, you can change where you advertisements are located on your journal to some degree.

Ad Placement:
