Boredom leads to LJ fiddling

Well, I was bored, ran out of things to browse, read every news story that looked interesting, used my first ever Slashdot mod points, so decided to play around with my LJ settings.

Look:

I’ve set some styles and preferences up so it’s not just the default, I’ve redesigned my icon and set a layout. Instead of external links (which I played with), I’ve used the links option for different public filters for my friends list, which is cool. I really like the RSS feeds for various news sites, and I only ever go to /. from my friends page.

Unfortunately, the tables in the layout I’ve chosen (3 columns) seem to resolve weird sometimes; in Mozilla, the right column sometimes resolves on top of the middle column instead of after it, and when I booted up IE (it hurt, but, y’know, I had to test it) the layouts were all over the place. Hitting refresh seemed to fix it, so it may be a connection speed issue, but still.

Can people say if they have problems with it and if so which browser they use? It’s an error in an LJ approved layout, so I’ll need to harass them to fix it, but it would be good to know; alternately, it might just be my crappy PC acting up.

  1. Looks fine in Opera, IE and Firefox. The layout, in Firefox, displayed a bit oddly (that right column in the middle column) until I maxmised the window.

    Looks spiffy though.

  2. Danke; I’ll test it at work as well, we have IE by default but the IT guy has promised me FireFox several times now.

    But yes, it does look quite pretty, took a bit to get the colour balances right, and I’m still not happy with bits, but, well tweaking is half the fun, right? Good to see your game went well.
