how to get new IJ Inbox messages to appear

Sometimes the inbox will say "You have 1 new message" (or however many), but no new message is seen. OHNOES!

If you delete a message from your inbox, then click Refresh, the new messages will appear. I'm not sure if this works when deleting a message from any page of your inbox (if you have more than one page of notifications), but deleting one from Page 1 has always worked for me.

another userstyle: IJ portal blues

I wasn't satisfied with the appearance of my first userstyle for the IJ portal. Sure, it was legible, but it was bland and ugly as sin.

So here's the sequel: IJ portal blues. Unlike its predecessor, this one should look nice in every single sitescheme, light or dark. It uses smooth blues and a few tiny images to dress itself up a bit.

Because this scheme only affects the portal, it doesn't require the IJ Skins Class Adder or script. Just load it up in Stylish or add it to your userContent.css, and you're set.

userstyle: IJ portal, greyed

I've struggled with the poor contrast on IJ's portal page ever since setting up shop here. I set up my own custom style early. Now you can use it too, if you like: http://userstyles.org/styles/4622 .

I make no claims of beauty for it. I personally find it hurts my eyes significantly less than the default (New Tweak) does; your mileage may vary. Mileage tends to.

this is a test, it is only a test

Testing DeepestSender with IJ. If it works, that means IJ's flat interface endpoint is http://www.insanejournal.com/interface/flat .

ETA: It does work. Awesome. That means I can work on getting crossposting ready and going. Fantastic!

As for me, I'm just another roleplayer pissed off at LJ and setting up shop here. It's slow work.
