Vertigo is Live
Big thanks to everyone who participated in our last round of testing on the Vertigo site scheme. We've just made Vertigo available for everyone to use. Vertigo is the "vertical" version of the default site scheme with all the navigation links going down the left side of the page (rather than Horizon’s "horizontal" drop-down menus across the top). If you'd like to try it out, click on the Viewing Options link at the bottom of the page.In our next release, we're going to modify the Viewing Options page so that it only shows you the choices of Horizon, Vertigo or Lynx. Anyone using XColibur or Dystopia can continue to use them, but please note that we won't be adding new links to them in the future. We simply don't have enough engineering resources to maintain so many different viewing options. If you switch away from XColibur or Dystopia and want to switch back at a later date, make note of this URL: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?view=schemes. Or, keep an eye on
lj_nifty , since we know of several people who have developed unofficial stylesheets to change Horizon/Vertigo's look. Updates in lj_biz

If you've got some Paid time or extra userpics left over, please note:
We've got you covered! New Permanent Account holders can transfer any leftover Paid time or userpic add-on time to any other LiveJournal account. Choose that LiveJournal account carefully, then visit the Permanent Account Holder Transfer Tool to share the wealth!
Permanent Account holders get the maximum number of userpics we offer: 138! How will they ever use those all up? Give them some ideas by commenting with your favorite userpic (that you're willing to share, of course).
