Technical stuff made simple (blocking ads and adding my Flamon Mood Theme) - By yours truely
Flamon Mood Theme

It packaged in the following zip file, instructions on how to set it up are in the Readme.txt file. It's quite simple really, just a bit of copying and pasting.
You can only make custom mood themes if you have a Plus, Paid, or generally anything-but-Basic LJ account.

- If anyone wants a custom mood theme of their own, I might be persuaded into making one for you. Or you could make it yourself, it's not hard at all.



In-Depth on how to get rid of the ad space on LJ in Firefox

Firstly, you should be using adblock anyway and the ads wont even load.

1 - Find your Profile folder in Firefox:
  • On Windows Vista/XP/2000, the path is usually %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Just browse to C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ on Windows XP/2000 or C:\users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ on Windows Vista, and the rest should be obvious.
  • On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\
  • n Linux, the path is usually ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/
  • On Mac OS X, the path is usually ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/

2 - Create a UserContent.css file, or just rename the example file so it's called UserContent.

3 - Open it, put the following code into it (if you renamed the example file, there'll be a bunch of example stuff you don't need and can clear):
div.ljad, /* whole ad div */
iframe#adframe /* iframe inside div */
{
display: none !important;
}


4 - Restart Firefox, the ads should be gone.



In-Depth on how to get rid of the ads on LJ in IE
1 - Create a .css file, name it whatever you want, probably something important, and you'll want to save it somewhere important too.

2 - Open it, put the following code into it:
div.ljad, /* whole ad div */
iframe#adframe /* iframe inside div */
{
display: none !important;
}

3 - Open IE. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> General (Tab) -> Accessibility (button). Click the box that lets you format pages using a specified style sheet, then direct it to the style sheet you created in step 1.

4 - Click OK. Click OK. Restart, the ads should be gone.



I hope this makes it clear and easy for you to block the ads. Blocking them on both Firefox and IE doesn't take more than a few minutes and it's much better and easier for viewing.

Half of the ads were like that when I checked in IE. THe other half were for Digimon on eBay.

Or, you could take a total of 2 minutes, follow the instructions, and not see them anymore!

Nah, I like to read the ads. xD

Interestingly enough, there was one on hiking women. Like, profiles of single women who hike.

...Is there something you haven't told us, Dyl?

I can't stand the ads.. but I haven't taken the time to follow your easy instructions.. mainly because they don't look that easy. Some areas I fail.

The ads, you have to have a vague understanding of the terms and what to do, but the mood theme is all cut and paste.
