Wouldn't you know? That place just closed

So all evidence from the previous post indicates that the problem is twofold: HTML compliance on LJ's part and the increasing likelihood that my journal style has been deprecated. On Firefox, I have no icons and neither does anybody else commenting on my posts. Safari is not an option for a number of reasons including the way LJ displays. On my father's computer, on Iceweasel, everything looks fine, but it's an older version of the browser and will likely produce the same issue if given a chance to update. It does not seem that waiting for the next Firefox update will fix the problem since the compliance gap will only widen. I dislike the idea of experimenting with new journal styles if I can't switch back. I have contacted LJ Support to see if they have a handy fix, but I am concerned that I'm not going to have a choice. If this journal looks weird for the next few days while I try to find a style I don't loathe, please be patient. Refried Paper, we hardly knew ye. Feh.

You could make a dummy account and experiment with styles there, and not change your own journal until you found an acceptable replacement?

Phooey.

Phooey.

I figure I will give LJ a day or so to get back to me, if I can stand it, but I am not expecting much.

I hadn't considered that approach, so thank you. I'm not entirely sure it would work because I have a paid account and I assume a more restricted range of styles and themes would be available to an unpaid one. Mostly I've just been trying them out on different posts in the "preview" mode and being unsatisfied and vaguely sad about all of them.

Ah, yes -- now that I look, paid accounts do get access to more styles. Well, so much for that idea.
