change the IJ site Scheme I heard a lot of complaints about Insanejournal's looks. I actually like the color Scheme (gray and light orange - what's wrong with that?) [info]squeaky did a poll on how the new default sitesheme should look like. The new siteshemes are showns as thumbnails. Using a sitesheme with a drop-down menu makes navigation of the site a lot easier.

+Abuse+

I'm just getting started on all these things (for example I never had to ban another user) but it's good to know that you have certain options.

If you delete an offensive comment from your journal you will be asked if you want to ban the user or you can ban using the admin console & instructions

report abuse this is also the general support form
