AWESOME.

A minor bug: when "Move user stats to bottom of page" is selected, the space between the top bar and the Basic Info section is teensy.

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out how to fix that, but haven't had much luck so far. I'll keep trying though - watch this post in case there are any updates.

What seems to work, and I don't know if it breaks anything else (it being not my script and all) is adding margin-bottom: 30px !important; at line... 33, where it is defining the style for .details_left.

(Or 20, or whatever; 30 is perfect for me.)

One thing I've been trying to do with this script is to work with the already-existing values LJ gave with the CSS, in an attempt to make it as widely compatible as possible. That's why in some cases I use em, some cases I use px, etc. The trouble here was that I couldn't see what values LJ was using to get that gap in the original. I know I could put in my own (and I may do that later, if I can't figure it out), but I'd prefer to use the same values that LJ uses if I can.

I was (with my poor CSS skillz) futzing around with Stylish yesterday, and was able to make a lot of changes, but I was hoping someone would do a Greasemonkey script to accomplish some of the things that can't really be done (or at least, I don't know how to do them) with CSS. Heh, so, I specifically mean the user stats at bottom of page, here. I know a lot of people hated them at the top, and I wrote a Stylish thing to just hide them completely, but it's so much more useful to give the option of moving them to the bottom without hiding them.

Anywho, thanks for your work!

A suggestion: maybe margin: 0 auto for "Reduce overall width of page" so that it stays centered anyway. I'm thinking of people who don't always have the same set width for their browser windows.

soph November 13 2008, 23:29:09 UTC

I think I'll make that a separate tweak, because I personally didn't like it centered when I tried it, but I know others will, so I'll do that. :D

(btw, I'm so sorry I haven't yet got round to your PM yet. I've been meaning to answer and haven't been able to yet. :/)

Nice job, this is a lot of fun to play with! I'd prefer for the customize link be at the bottom, but that's about it.

Works perfectly with GreaseKit (Safari), just so you know.

soph November 13 2008, 23:49:30 UTC

Thanks for letting me know!

As for the customize link being at the bottom, maybe I should make that a tweak in itself :D

mordyn4 November 13 2008, 23:52:12 UTC

You're welcome. Of course now that I've realised more greasemonkey scrips will work with Safari, I'll be spending the next hour checking out scripts. :P

Good idea. :D

This is fantastic, thank you!

trobadora November 14 2008, 16:40:41 UTC

Okay, I've now looked at my profile more than I have ever before, just to play with the options and compare the results. Still fantastic. :-)

One question: Is it possible to stop the journal title from displaying if none is given? That utterly redundant "so-and-so's journal" thing is really starting to bug me.
