With a little help...

[elisi]

While LJ is still playing up, here's a handy link for you:
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/recent_comments.bml
It shows you the last 50 comments made in your LJ as well as linking to all the most recent posts you've replied to. :)

ETA: If you're wondering why there's a problem with the e-mailed comments look here and here.

And the problems with icons is explained in this thread. Aren't I a treasure trove of information today? Hee.

Also look at the gorgeous pimp icon kathyh made me! Mmmmm, Spike....

Comments

[treacle-a.livejournal.com]

I've been using the snazzy new My LJ feature quite a bit, which also shows the comments list :)

[elisi]

It's a very handy thing, isn't it? And yet I *still* forget birthdays...

[kathyh]

Thank you. I've spotted two I hadn't seen before and I *hate* not replying to comments. I did get some comment notifications yesterday when AOL dumped two days worth on me, but it seems to have stopped again!

[elisi]

My noticications are very sporadic so I keep checking everywhere. I got the link from s2c ages ago, but I only thought to pimp it because I saw poshcat do it first.

Oh and speaking of pimping, I would love a personalised pimp icon... (see? I did come up with something. Heh.)

[kathyh]

Ironically I got that comment *g*.

Personalised pimp icon? OK, sounds good to me. Any ideas for caps or text?

[elisi]

Ironically I got that comment *g*.
Well I got the one from treacle_a but not those from you... 'tis most peculiar!

Most pimp icons use a Spike in the pimp chain (which is actually very appealing now I think about it), JM in one of those gay photo shoots or Jayne in The Hat... No idea about text really, except I'd like my name on it so it won't be nabbed. ;)

[elisi]

Oh - actually... just had a look around, and I really like Spike in the DT scene where he senses Buffy arriving (open shirt *and* pimpchain!). I found a cap here but it isn't very good. I'd prefer one where he's smiling/smirking. Is that helpful?

[kathyh]

Of course I didn't get these comments!

The cap's very helpful. I'll have a look and see what else I can find. Not sure if it will be done today though.

[kathyh]

On the other hand - check you email *g*.

[elisi]

I've said this already but... Squeeeeeeeeeeee!

[fotada.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I didn't know about this, and always wondered why I couldn't easily backtrack to past comments I've left.

[elisi]

It's such a handy link, but sadly LJ doesn't advertise it very well...

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

What a useful link - thank you so much. I've already found two comments to my posts that I didn't know were there.

Might have to check out the 'MyLJ' think that treacle_a was referring to, as well.

[elisi]

I'm happy to be helpful. And MyLJ can be found here:
http://www.livejournal.com/portal/
(Just in case you were searching...)

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

Aww, even more helpful. Thanks. :)

[elisi]

Even more helpful is the fact that your comment came straight into my inbox. :) Oh and My LJ is to the left on the blue bar where all the various links are. (If that makes sense...)

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed that we are all back to normal in LJ land then.

[elisi]

Well there was a minor kerfuffle yesterday, so I'd say everything is as normal as can be! ;)

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

Yes, I saw it mentioned in your post, had a quick look and then decided I really couldn't be bothered. Enjoyed reading the comments you received though, and will check back to see whether you get a link to the Ginmar meltdown - I'd heard about that but hadn't seen it.

[elisi]

The whole Spuffy thing is a bit of a laugh to be honest (except for the rape issue obviously), but it makes people all nostalgic. :)

The ginmar thing is just awful though - like watching a car crash. Only a very long and nasty one. *shudders*

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

Just like watching a car crash - I had to look at the Ginmar thing, and it just got more and more unbelievable. Almost applauded curiouswombat when she entered the fray.

[elisi]

I went and had a look at her journal and I think she's been very traumatised by something or other (quite possibly Iraq).But at least it looked like she was getting help of some kind.

[zimshan.livejournal.com]

OoO! What a nifty link! This sporatic comment emails thing is driving me nuts, so this will definitely be helpful! Thanks!

[elisi]

No problem. You could also check out MyLJ.

[danceswithwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link! My LJ just shows comments posted to your entries, so being able to track back on comments you posted in other people's entries and seeing if they got replies is really useful. I hope LJ fixes this soon; it really impedes conversation.

[elisi]

It really is rather awkward... it's strange that LJ hasn't publicised the link more!

[spikesdeb.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info and yay, that icon is to die for! *drools*

[elisi]

kathyh is very, very talented... although she said it was such a dreadful chore, having to look up so many pictures of nekkid!Spike! *g*
