Community Rules

This comm is open to anyone to post codes, layouts, resources, tutorials, and requests for help and content. Of course, we do have some rules, so please read through them before jumping in; thank you!

Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. This is not a drama comm, and we expect you guys to be awesome and stay civil. If a situation gets out of hand, please contact a mod, and leave comments intact so we can accurately handle the situation.

Please tag your posts and check out the tagging guide if you have any questions!

■ Very long posts or posts formatted with your own div styling for organization should be behind a cut to save people's f-lists.

Work safe above the cut, please!

■ If posting codes, guides, etc. absolutely do not post content that you did not make. That's stealing, and it's super uncool, bro! If you are posting expanded/edited codes made by yourself using another user's coding as well, please be sure you have their permission (You do not need direct permission if they allow edits to be re-posted in their blanket rules.)
■ Do not post tutorials/links to tutorials that show people how to steal codes from other users. Again: Stealing. Not cool.
When asking for help with something, please check the help tags (help: coding, help: graphics, help: icons, help: layouts, help: other) first to see if your question has already been posted and answered to avoid duplicates.

We do not allow game ads to be posted on this comm since there are so many communities specifically for that already; if you're pimping a game as an addition to a regular post, that's fine. (OK: You post an RP code and mention in the post, oh hey, also I'm running this game! NOT OK: Posts dedicated to game promo.)

We do allow other types of community promos if they are related to RP (icon comms, other types of resource comms, etc.) Just shoot us a comment in our dropbox beforehand and we'll let you know if it's cool to post!

MERRY DRAFTSMAS!
In case you missed it, for the month of December, I assembled and released a bunch of content that I hadn't publicly released before. Included in the batch were thirteen unique code designs total, including one full biosheet, 4 cast/muse lists, and a bunch of miscellaneous codes from thread toppers to playlist codes.

For live previews of how all the new codes look on insanejournal, please check out my IJ draftsmas tag.

For the codes themselves, visit the DRAFTSMAS SET tag on my dreamwidth. In-between, I also released some Eartha Kitt screencaps and a gdoc template, which you can also pick up on my DW journal. A little niche lmao sorry.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy 2023! ♥

You can find the fixed versions of the Icon Uploader for PC and Mac on my Drive: Insanejournal Icon Uploader

You can find instructions for use on Tess' site: Icon Upload

For those wondering what was wrong: In the upload file, the URLs needed to change to HTTPS, and the flag of -k needed to be added to the call to CURL. It also required an updated version of CURL for PC

ETA: On Windows 10, you need to right-click the batch file and "Run as Administrator" for this to work. Doing so on Windows 11 will not give you the desired outcome as it will upload all of your temp images.

icon uploader


[info]whenitfades

Hello, I was wondering if anyone'd found a way around the old ij icon uploader? I've got the files and all, but it's stopped working on PC for me a while ago. There's journalwatcher, but they can be faulty AND it uploads icons in a completely messy order, which can be annoying at times.

I've no idea what's blocking the uploader nowadays, because the program does /run/ the same as before, it just doesn't do anything.

Thank you for any help!

ETA: IT IS FIXED. NEW IJ ICON UPLOADER HERE.

A while ago, I created [info]cdjs with the purpose of connecting CDJs with other CDJs. For the past 5 or 6 years, it's been dormant but rather than outright delete the comm I wanted to know...
A. Is there even a use for it or interest in it anymore? And...
B. If there is, would anyone be interested in maintaining it?

Re-using old icons

[info]jadewinter
[info]rpresources
I'm not sure this is the right place, but I'll ask anyway. I have some icons on older journals that I'd like to re-use. They are all credited appropriately and would be again of course. The reason I'm posting is because the icon journals I got them from are now deleted and I really don't know if it is considered inappropriate to use icons from deleted journals for newer characters/journals/games. So I guess I'm asking is it appropriate in general? Or if someone has deleted their journal is it better to try and choose a new face or icons? These are extremely rarely iconned faces - the deleted journals were the only places I ever saw them, if that makes a difference to anyone's opinion on this.

99.99% sure that this has been asked, but after looking through the tags I can't find the post. I wanted to know if there were alternate links to download LJ-Sec? Basically just looking for something where I can mass-delete some posts.

I already know about [info]pb_updates and [info]find_icons here on IJ. Where else can someone go to find and/or share icons? I'm looking for places with pb as well as aesthetic/fandom/anime icons, on both IJ and DW.

hi there! i feel like i’m going crazy because i can’t find anything that seems to work. i’d like to get back into making icons again, and back in the day i had a mac and photoshop cs2, but these days i’m almost exclusively on the ipad. what program do you recommend for icon making on an ipad? i tried the obvious actual photoshop app, but unless i’m just overlooking it, it doesn’t appear to have an easy way to crop images to a specific ratio, like 100x100px.

i also tried the studio and procreate apps, but any time i resized the image from (for example) the default 2048x2048 to 100x100, the icon lost quality, looking pixelated and not great, so if there’s a way to do this correctly on those apps, let a girl know!

i would deeply appreciate any suggestions or tutorials that may be out there. thank you!
