Hey all. I've got the code for this GJ layout. It's a custom style and you have to have a paid account to get it to work. I've got the edits and everything in an old rp journal of mine. I tried to post it but it ended up formatting itself and didn't make sense.

So if anyone can tell me how to share it, I'd be happy to. It's just that I can't get it to work and I know that it's too complicated to send via PM.

Here it is in text form. Few things you need to know. First of all, you have to have a paid account in order to create a style. You will have to create a friends page style too as well as a journal page. It's the same coding. Just fill in the blanks on the create a style page here. Just click the first box, then go down and hit save and you'll get a style name although you can name it whatever you want. Then you can edit from there. Just fill in the boxes according to the text document I posted. If there isn't anything listed, just leave that box blank. Then take the override code if you want a background image and paste it into your usual override box. Do the same to create a new friends page.

As for colors you can use the colors that IJ has or you can use custom colors.

Hope this works! If you use it, I'd like to see how it turned out. And please, you don't have to credit me. All I did was copy/paste. I don't know who wrote the original code, it was given to me three years ago by someone on GJ!

It didn't work. It didn't make the text box and it also formatted everything.

When I was given the instructions on how to do it, you had to have a paid account, you clicked S1 then create style. I have all the coding that went into the boxes on the create a style page as well as the coding for the override box to add a background. You had to have a separate page for both friends and your regular page.

There might be an easier way, maybe someone can take what I have and make an actual code? I don't know how to do that but I have what went in all the boxes. I don't mind sharing but I can't get it to show up.

Yes, that's where you had to put the code. I thought I could copy what was there and then it could put into the boxes if someone else wanted to do that but it doesn't seem to work. When I copy the stuff, it formats and I end up with part of the code missing and then the user name and stuff really big.

If I screencapped the page, would that work? The only issue would be making sure the font was big enough for people to read.

	Does you have to use the S2 developer area for it? Is that why it only works on paid accounts? /confused (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No it's S1 Generator but for some reason you have create a style to get it to work. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The only thing I can think of is putting all of it in a text document and then uploading that to sendspace or mediafire. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I had thought of that too. I might very well do that! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Feel free but you don't have to credit me. I didn't write the original code and don't know who did. (Reply to this) (Parent)
