GJ, IJ

[foudebassan]

I'm foudebassan over at GreatestJournal and have just reserved foudebassan on InsaneJournal as well. Feel free to friend, but I won't be updating either for the time being.

I don't really know what to do about this boldegate. Mostly, I stand by what I said back in Strikethrough, but if everyone is leaving LJ I'll leave too, talking to oneself alone in a corner is like being on blogspot or in a lunatic asylum, ie, no fun at all. GJ looks a lot like LJ, but it bans obscenity, and what fun are conversations when they don't include passing mentions of bare male arses every now and then? IJ is said to be more perve- fandom-friendly, but a) I don't want to discuss fandom 100% of the time and b) aren't their servers too weak to deal with our wanking, in both the literal and metaphorical senses?

So, for now, am being a sheep. Baaaa. Tell me where you go and I'll follow.

He did! Of course he deleted the comments as soon as people started pointing at him, but fandom being what it is... several people had already screencapped him. You have to be monumentally stupid to say things like that under his public ID, I wouldn't venture on those grounds even as Ségo. Private remarks are what private accounts are for.

(That's quite a change in style! I have Safari and could see the banner just fine)

However, lj's always been the site with the most number of people on and interest specific communities, which is the main attraction of such a site.

That's what's keeping me here. I trust fandom to migrate nicely together, but here on LJ I'm also a member of several sewing communities, of plenty of dutch/czech/french/other language and civilisation comms, etc. I like those because I learn things there, but I wouldn't read an f-list made solely of them, so I would lose them out of sheer intellectual laziness if fandom were to move :(

I hear Semagic is apparently a good program for switching between "lj clone" accounts, but I haven't tried it myself.

The banner's working on both; it's the little area of text to the top right that is the problem. On firefox, the browser I used while making it, the text reads as I intended - the first 3 links are all on a line together, with the friends link centred below them. Underneath, the text is centred and manages to fit in the small space.

On IE, the browser I used to check it just in case, each link has its own line, and the text is centred to a very very small width, with each word having its own line, and the result being that most of it is missing.

It's obviously a problem with a centre tag, but I just can't see why it would be so different between the two browsers. I think that if I change it on IE, when I go back to Firefox, it won't be how I liked it before.

It looks fine with Safari.

Fixed the problem that IE was having with it. I had used a td tag with width specified, and then a div tag with no specifications after it, which worked fine with Firefox, but apparently was evil and immoral to IE, which decided it should overwrite the td width specification and so restrict my text to 10px space.
