FYI: Little usericons name change

LiveJournal changed the name for the friends only, private, custom groups entry locks and for the userinfo and community icons.

You will need to replace p-stat with l-stat for them to display properly again.

How to
Go into your code, copy it all and paste in notepad. Then use your Ctrl-H function to replace p-stat.livejournal.com with l-stat.livejournal.com.

*scratches head* I can't seem to find p-stat.livejournal.com anywhere on the code for my layout.

Does this apply to my layout?

Yep, it's in the beginning of the CSS, under the title "GENERAL FORMATTING"

.ljuser img[src="http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif"] {
background-color:transparent;
background-image: url(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b153/gawariel_design/z_REQUESTS/32_baronbrutalius/user.jpg);
padding: 18px 0px 0 23px;
}

.ljuser img[src="http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"] {
background-color:transparent;
background-image: url(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b153/gawariel_design/z_REQUESTS/32_baronbrutalius/community2.png);
padding: 17px 0px 0px 15px;
}

Ah. Very strange, Notepad couldn't find it. I had to use MS Word to find the "p-stat"s.

Thanks! =D

What did lj do? .. Maybe it's the lack of sleep, but I seriously don't get what happened and how that could affect me.. *headdesk*

Oh, well, LJ moved their images to a new server, so that now all their images have a new direct URL (instead of p-stat, they now have l-stat).
If you are using a code that replaces your little usericons with custom made ones, LJ's move would make your custom images disappear and they will get displayed as the default ones.

Clear? ^_^

thanks! although I didn't see any changes to the icons (?) but I've made the switch already XD

btw, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but this happened very recently, just around the time of this p-stat l-stat change. The advert on my layout doesn't remain in the scroll bar anymore, it appears outside and blocks the first post. Not sure if you know what is wrong. It was never like that before. thanks ^_^
