LJ question

Can anyone explain why LJ sometimes squishes long threads so that they become unreadable like this. Is there any way to change the layout so it's in a straight list or something instead of indenting each time?

Hee... comments on my posts never get that long so I have never noticed that before! Oh, you want an explanation? Sorry - I have nothing. *grins*

Hehe! We're using LJ as an alternative to IM ;)

That's really odd. But LJ confuses me. I still can't figure out how to post links to past chapters on posts or customise my layout.

Hope you figure out how. =D

Hehe! LJ is wealth of mysteries and I've been on it for 7 years

Yeah, there's a way to stop it from that. I have put it in my journal and whenever a thread has more than (insert number here) comments they collapse. I can't explain you how to do it right now, since a) it's late, and b) I'm not completely sober yet - somewhere in between; nasty feeling...

However, you need a theme layer and stuff... it's not so difficult. Ask me again tomorrow. Then I'll be sober enough to give you the proper code and a helping hand. :)

I quite like it...

Threads just collapse when they get too long. Always been that way though they look messier on the new layouts than on traditional layout.

Yeah, it is messy :( I don't like mess

Oh didn't notice this before; must depend on the layout I think. I don't have so many comments in one thread in my LJ.

*checks* It's the layout - when I visited another one (it's f-locked) I saw a big thread going without icons, the others have them. And it gets smaller all the time.

Yeah, that's what mine looked like until tyffi gave me the code to fix it
