What are these colours?

[wiseheart]

What in seven hells...?!?!?!
When I last took a look at my journal, it had a grey background. When I looked up on the modification page, it stated that it still has a grey background. I resettled the greys and it is still blue.

Am I getting colour blind or is LJ screwing up?

I think LJ may be screwing up, since my colour settings have changed as well.

It's definitely LJ screwing up; everyone's journals are apparently reverting to the default LJ color combination regardless of what selection the journal owners have actually made. Interestingly, though, the layout styles still work properly!

It's most annoying; I hope they fix the problem soon.

Same here, but I'm inclined to say: who cares, as long as the entries themselves aren't lost? I don't even have a paid account, so I guess I'm happy if it functions at all.

Theoretically, I agree with you. I just hate blue, from the darkest depths of my evil heart.

As a young child I had to wear the pullovers and stuff that my cousins had grown out. All my cousins were boys. All the cused things were blue. Just *seeing* blue can make me scream in agony.

Okay, calming down now. Needless to say, I have blue eyes. That's fate for you.

The LJ folks are aware of the problem; if you look under the "Have a Question?" link in the Help and Support Section (on the left of the screen), they say it's been caused by some code upgrades they've just performed, and will be fixed as soon as possible.

So it doesn't look like you'll be living with blue forever!

Thanks for the support, all of you, guys. Facing all those blues is a truly traumatic experience, and supporting friends can't be appreciated enough in these unsettling times. *g*

I may not care, but Maeglin sure does. When I was constructing his journal for the Gondolin RPG, he was emphatic that his color scheme was to be predominantly black and grey. This current blue/white default is MUCH too cheery for him! And boy is he now in a bad mood because of it...
