PSA: viewing skins
Mar. 30th, 2009 02:40 amI don't know if this is going around, or if Julie and I are just being targeted because we're secret terr'ists, but if your xcolibur or dystopia view of LJ has mysteriously been replaced with vertigo, there is a sneaky back door you can take to get your beloved viewing option back.
Append &usescheme=xcolibur or &usescheme=dystopia to the end of your URL and it sort of tricks LJ into believing you already have that option checked. Make sure you save, and voila: insta-relief! I've tried it for both dystopia and xcolibur, and there's been no sign of reverting back to vertigo yet, even after some off-site page hopping. I live in hope. *crosses fingers*
Has anyone heard anything about LJ getting rid of these skins altogether? None of the news comms I poked around in have said anything about it, so it might just be a bug - please let it just be a bug!
