Thank you, Livejournal, may I have another?

Because really, yeah, when I wanted to tweak one little custom option on my layout, what I really meant for you to do was to COMPLETELY DELETE ALL OF THE CUSTOM CODING I'D DONE ON THE THING. ARGH!

You know what I really don't want to do? Recreate all the little tweaks I did on this damned layout by hand. Because of course I didn't save it anywhere local on my own box for this very eventuality, because that would have been CLEVER. And I'm really not in the mood to have to allocate time to create a whole brand new journal layout, either. I've got writing to do!

I'd switch to one of the new styles, but there are so few journal styles that really appeal to me. The ones from Vox are too cutesy, by and large, and too busy as well. I don't need most of the extra bells and whistles that show up in the newer journal layouts, and I don't need a whole bunch of colors, either.

Try opening a Support request, just in case. They might be able to help.

The most they could do is to dig up my custom layer out of a backup, and honestly, I could create the things I did more quickly than it would take them to find it, I suspect. I'm too annoyed as well to bother to spend the time.

I'll just leave it set tweakless for now and figure out how to fix it later. Right now I'm too annoyed to do that as well, especially on a night when I'm also dealing with a rejection letter.

But thanks, I appreciate the suggestion regardless.

That's exactly what happened to me the other day, and I flung my hands up and gave up, too. I so very much feel your pain. *hugs*

*hugs!* Tonight, once I got over being cranky about it, I could fortunately recreate the various tweaks I'd done. This time I've saved 'em out to a local file on my hard drive, though.

let me tell you how boring I am.

I chose a style four years ago and haven't changed it since.

I know it's boring, but I honestly don't have the time or energy to play with it.

However, I can understand your frustration.

Oh, I'm totally boring with journal styles. :) The ones I've chosen have been ones that I stay with for quite some time, and I only get around to changing them if 1) I can't stand to look at it any longer, which doesn't happen often, or 2) I realize that there's some sort of really annoying layout problem about the thing that I can't figure out how to fix. In which case I'll check out another style.
