Subject line
You know every community has rules! This community is no different.

First and foremost; you have to be nice!! This is a non-negotiable rule. Do it.

#2. Take the time to read the tutorials, the howto journal memories, and the Livejournal FAQ's. They exists to make your life easier by not having to ask for help. If you post a question that is easily found in one of these places, we will point and laugh at you.

#3. Posting in everything_lj...


If you have a question about your overrides, you must post them so we can see what you are talking about. We can't help you if we don't know what is happening.

Don't pick and choose which overrides to show us. Just post them all, please. Often there is more than one part to an override and if we can't see what you are doing then we can not help you.

In order to post your overrides, you must transform them or they will not show up. Edit your post if you don't put them in: do not make a new post.

Please include a subject line in your post. People who actually look for their answers in the memories and in the archive can find what they are looking for much more easily!



#4. Respect other people's friends pages. Use an when you are posting your overrides.

#5. Community promotion by email ONLY. Read the box at the top of this page that says "important".

#6. Under no circumstance are you to ask for help in a maintainers journal, by IM or by email. This is absolutely forbidden. You will get the help you need here.

#7. If you decide to copy a source code from another user and post it in this community, your post will be deleted and you will be banned. We have plenty of do-it-yourself tutorials and you can get free codes at freelayouts. NO STEALING!

#8. You may not know this, but the maintainers in this community also maintain other help communities on Livejournal. Crossposting your question to another help community such as overridehelp will not get your answer any faster. It will annoy the maintainers because then they have to answer you twice. Please refrain from doing this.

#9. **New Rule** DO NOT, and I repeat: DO NOT ask us for the code to put background music on your journal. Also DO NOT and I repeat again: DO NOT give out the code for background music in this community and expect me not to hate you. If you are a paid user, you can find the code for background music here, but keep in mind:



~Background Music is friggin annoying. I have never visited a page with background music where I did not want to kill the maker of that page.

~Background Music is not browser friendly, nor is it supported in all browsers. It slows everything down, and by the time the crap is done loading I am done looking at your page anyway so it is worthless!!

~The code for Background Music must be merged correctly or it screws up your whole journal. I am so sick of walking people through this music override that it is now BANNED from this community.




That wasn't so hard, was it?
