So huh

  • Add Memory

Okay, someone on my flist mentioned the lack of ability to custom filter. They're right, you can't.

Anyone find a way around this yet or figure out where it's located at? I can click "custom" but there's no way to pick your filters.

Huh. Annoying.

Also, for the record: still traumatized, still engaged in heavy drinking, still thinking that the world is a harsh place, still hate this fic so much I want to start it on fire and dance around it naked chanting things. I don't know what things, but I'll surely think ofsomething.

Also, my coworkers are officially on my Give Them Hives With My Mind list. Hives with *peeling*.

ETA: Okay, so it's IE. Now, I'm beginning to feel vaguely persecuted, as not one of these comments appeared in my inbox.

This is totally a day for weapons grade chocolate.

Weird! When I click "custom" I get tickyboxes with my filter names that I can choose from. Maybe it's a browser thing?

I agree, it works fine for me.

This is my fault for not just giving in to firefox, isn't it?

Actually my custom filters work fine in both Firefox2.0 and IE6.0. Maybe it's the way that you're trying to get TO them...

http://www.livejournal.com/friends/filter.bml should work fine if you have more than one filter built and uniquely named. I get to it by storing that address, but it's accessible from the Log In page; it's the syllepsis next to the 'Friends' link on the header.

I can see my filters, just not post to them. *sad sigh* It really looks like this will be the weekend of conversion to firefox.

God, this is going to be horrible.

From: [identity profile] ltlj.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-15 07:17 pm (UTC)
Mine is working the same way as lance_nerd's, with boxes to select the filters. It does sound like a browser thing. (I'm on a Mac using Mozilla.)

My universe is slowly crumbling. I need brownies.

Will cookies do? Cookies from *John*?

I'm not getting comments either. Brownies! Just concentrate on the brownies!

Here, have a cookie from Cthulhu! It's not a brownie, but nearly!

LJ says it's a browser thing. Firefox is working fine, apparently, while IE is not. (Other browsers I'm not sure about.)

Argh. BUT I USE IE!

GET FIREFOX! And become un-bitter. :-)

Firefox will make you joyful.
I was a hardcore IE fan, until it kept freezing and making my pages not load properly. But Firefox has cured those woes. It's really user-friendly, as well.

Half the world uses IE! You really can't introduce a new interface with a huge bug in IE and call it a "minor issue" and try to fix it by switching to firefox. Lame, LJ. Lame.

From: [identity profile] mecurtin.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-15 07:30 pm (UTC)
Which version of IE are you using? It may be something that works only in IE7. I shall check it out just for professional purposes -- since I use Firefox, I hadn't noticed the problem.

What about using a client? I use Semagic ([livejournal.com profile] ljwin32_sema) by preference (after losing one too many posts when the browser died xx) and it has an area where you can create and modify custom filters. Is pretty neat. ^^

From: [identity profile] torakowalski.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-15 07:51 pm (UTC)
Give in to Firefox. Give in to Firefox. My brain makes little meepy noises when it has to go near IE these days.

But, yes, also not getting comment notifications.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-15 07:57 pm (UTC)
I would!

Except.

The thing is, the coding on my flist is imperfect and I don't know where the flaw is because I copied this from Isilya *years* ago, so nothing shows up right for me on my flist in Firefox. IE makes allowances for the coding mistake;firefox does not. And I gave myself a serious headache trying to figure out where the break in font was.

*sad*

Have you tried firefox 2? Major new release and such.

From: [identity profile] giogio.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-16 02:04 am (UTC)
It looks fine in Firefox for Mac (though of course, since I don't actually have IE on this machine, so I can't tell if it's supposed to look different), and the posting filters also work just fine in that.

I got told that it could be that java script was not enabled. Is it in your browser?

I'm sorry your day isn't quite a joy-filled experience. But thank you for the phrase "weapons grade chocolate". I adore it and will be adding it to my daily phrasebook.

From: [identity profile] aliaswestgate.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-15 11:40 pm (UTC)
What do you consider Weapons Grade Chocolate? For me that's really good choco chip cookies--or brownies. Even cadbury milk chocolate bars...

Chocolate fudge sundaes are weapons of last resort though. Usually reserved for when i'm peeved beyond all hope of calming down at the idiocy called retail work.

From: [identity profile] out-there.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-16 12:08 am (UTC)
Maybe they've only just fixed it. Now, if you hit "Custom" you get a tickbox selection of your different filters.

From: [identity profile] out-there.livejournal.com Date: 2006-12-16 12:09 am (UTC)
And, um, the important bit I forgot to mention: I'm using IE, so it should be fine.
