Help!

I've always gotten occasional complaints from people who couldn't find the comment button on my journal, but they've been coming fast and furious for a few months now so I decided to change my layout (*wails* I loved my layout *sob* but I digress). I tried to find something as close to what I had already that has the comment function at the bottom of the entry rather than on the side.

I'd like for the font to be bigger and I'd like to change the colors of, say, links. I can find where to do that but I don't know where to find a list of the colors to choose from or which font I should choose to make it bigger. Can anybody direct me please?

ETA: I figured it out!

Can's you just change your old style it so it doesn't force your Style on the comments page? (I hate that S2 makes forcing your style on the comments page opt-out rather than opt-in.) Or were people having trouble finding the Leave Comment button when navigating from your main journal display?

I don't think I understand what you're asking me.

*is lame*

LOL

Whenever I post a link in a comm to my fic, I inevitably get a few comments in the comm instead of in my actual journal from people saying that they can't find the comment button in my journal. It's the unearthed thingy that does that. My old layout was veiled metal, but it only comes in unearthed, not one of the styles where you can comment at the bottom. Personally, I don't think it's all that confusing, especially after about a year or so ago when I changed the comment button from saying something cutesy back to saying "leave a comment," but apparently it is confusing to many people.

I'm okay with this being my new layout, I'd just like to change a few things about it. Even if I did go back to the old layout, I'd still need to know about the color and font thing because emella customized that when she overhauled my journal for me.

I don't know how to manipulate stuff in S2, so I can't help you with that.

What I mean about forcing your style on the comments page is... you know how your LJ looks, right? Well when I'm visiting individual pages, I want them to rather than showing all that stuff. I want them to look like so: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/hermionesviolin/LJ_display.jpg

LJ has an option so I can make all entries I read off my friendspage display that way, but if I'm direct-linked to an entry I have to manually add ?style=mine to the end of the URL unless they've done the following:

Disable customized comment pages for your journal

Okay. I get what you're saying now. :)

I decided just to try to click on everything on the customize page and lo and behold that worked. If you click on each color it brings up a box of options to choose from. And sans serif is the bigger font, fyi.

Yay. It's looked pretty much like I want it now. Thanks for your help, Elizabeth.

Glad you got what you needed figured out :)

Ooooh, I totally figured out the color thing. Yay!
