I clicked over to the LJ New Style (which is what like 4 years old now) to see this heart thing in action and decided, since there does not seem to be any way to see who hearts you, that I don't care and now I can't get back to my old LJ style. I know, I know, I know... I should embrace the new but I don't wanna. You used to be able to click on the little cloud icon which is now nowhere to be found.

EDIT: 1. slinkslowdown showed me how to flip to old style any time I want (Under your LJ name pick settings and then pick the display tab and scroll to the bottom - there's a checkbox!!) AND 2. badrobot68 then figured out you can hover over the heart and see who hearted you. So now I love the new feature that requires the new style but I also know how to go back if I want. NICE...!

This morning I was swimming along by myself when regular joined me in the next lane. She started about 25 minutes after I did. I know she swims 20 minutes (she works out first) so I knew when she got out, I'd have 15 minutes left and I just dissolved into the water and my head. I planned errands and then cancelled them, I planned dinner and changed my mind, I listened to the music and remembered what it reminded me of - road trips with my family when we were little in the station wagon singing out heads off.

After a while my arms started to tire and more people started swimming and my buddy didn't leave. And I looked at the clock and I had been swimming for an hour and 5 minutes! I did a couple more laps and then left and she was still going. She and I will need to have a little chat about changing routines without notice.

My little Misfit buddy from the east coast will get a surprise when he checks his app at lunch.

I did decide that no errands need to be done today except getting gas which I did on the way home from the pool so... done! I am about 3 days away from a wet cat food emergency, however. She has plenty of dry, so not a real emergency but try telling her that.

I may dip out to Grocery Outlet. I saw they had some of her favorite Meow Mix cups when I was in there the other day.

Regardless, there will be sewing for sure.

I liked one of your posts last night because I wanted to see what the heart was.
Someone liked my post today and LJ sent me a notification, but it just said "Someone liked your post". Hmmmmph.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

Oh, hover over the heart and it shows the names!

[susandennis]

Ding ding ding ding

AND we have a winner!!!

Aren't you the clever one. That's actually kind of a cool way to do it - that hover thing.

Thank you!!

Also I have heard that the phone app doesn't have it yet.

[susandennis]

I don't ever use the phone app... I just use the browser on my phone to go to regular LJ. Maybe since I'm forced into the future, I should investigate the phone app, too. hmmmm

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I tried the phone app and had to delete it eventually, it never worked right. And if I tried to post a photo, it showed up HUGE with no way to shrink it down. Half the time it would sign me out and not let me log back in, and I just got tired of it.

haha - congrats on the extra swimming.

I've already replied to your ticket [and moved it to the right place--Style Systems is for custom journal styles, Redesign is for your question], but who knows when staff will approve/unscreen it.

Here:

You can switch back to the old version by following these instructions.

1) Visit this page: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=display#LJ__Setting__LJOld_ljold

2) Activate the Design Version checkbox, to indicate you want to use the older version of the site.

3) Click the Save button. Once the page is saved, you will then be using the older version of the site.

[susandennis]

You are a wonder!!!! Thank you so much. I so appreciate your not only fixing my help request but giving me the answer and showing me where to find it. Now I can flip back and forth and maybe even learn to deal with the new!

Thank you, really. Very fast and very kind of you.

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

Hey, NP~ I'm always happy to help people with LJ stuff if it's something I know the answer to :)

[deelovesryo.livejournal.com]

Sorry to bother you with this in 2018, almost 2019, but could you please check if that option is still available? I went to that page but I dont see a design version checkbox?

[susandennis]

I'm sorry, I cannot.

I no longer use the new editor so the option does not show show up for me.

[deelovesryo.livejournal.com]

Ok, thank you!

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

The option isn't there anymore. You have to submit an LJ Support ticket and LJ Staff will manually change it for you.

[susandennis]

Thanks, slinkslowdown for popping in to help ... again! Also, thanks for the info. Good to know!

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

NP!

I'm still doing my thing with LJ Support and am still happy to help whenever I can :)

[susandennis]

you are a gem.

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

I see your ticket and have moved it to the correct section for Staff to address.

[deelovesryo.livejournal.com]

Thank you so so much to all of you for your help, the staff already resolved it, I'm so happy!
Thank you slinkslowdown for going out of your way and move it and all^^

[susandennis]

well, you get points for coming back to let us know you are fixed. whew and yeah!

[ani-mama.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the LJ tips! I get grumpy when things change here...

Haha, if we ever run out of wet food here, I have 5 very loud cats telling me that they are going to diiiiiie.

[susandennis]

Happily, I found a stash of emergency Meow Mix cups so I think we'll make it until the Amazon Subscribe and Save order arrives. Whew.

[ladythmpr.livejournal.com]

I hate(d) the new style, and I'm not sure that I care enough about the heartthing to change.

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

I'm way too attached to my old LJ style to switchover... it's just so much easier to scroll through my friends' posts with it (especially on my phone). I went over to look at the new style once, but haven't gone back, mostly because I'm paranoid about it sticking that way!

And too funny about the swimming incident! It sounds like something I would do.

[deelovesryo.livejournal.com]

Omg! I know this is an old post but it seems today I clicked that change to the new style without noticing or something, could you please do a screen cap of that checkbox you say, or how to change it back?

[susandennis]

Click on your user pick in the top right hand corner.

Select Settings.

There you will find a horizontal row of options starting with Manage Account Display...

Choose Display.

From there, all I can say is what she said, scroll to the bottom and look.

I no longer use the new editor so I cannot see the option to go back so a screen shot is not possible.

Good luck.
