[solved] turning off the alternating icon position in Five AM?

hi there! (wow, posting in a new community is scary, but you all seem super nice!) i'm jericho, i'm posting on behalf of my headmates because i can talk.



we're using the Five AM base style, and we really like its aesthetic! except for one main thing... we hate that it doesn't let us set which side of the comments people's icons appear on, and it forces them to be on the opposite side to whatever we set them on for our posts. so if we put icons on the left in posts, they appear on the right in comments.

we really want icons to all appear consistently on the same (left) side in both posts and comments, because we get confused otherwise. is there a way to make that happen in our style, please? or a style with a similar aesthetic that we can do that in, maybe? (though that's more difficult because there are other things about our base style that a lot of other styles do differently and we couldn't use them if they did.)

we don't know CSS, and the style layers we've looked at (Five AM & Transmogrified) don't seem to even have separate lines for userpics_position in posts vs comments, so we haven't been able to figure it out by ourselves.



thankyou so so much to anybody who read this, and especially anyone who tries to help out! (also i hope i did the tags right!) <3

You're good on tags! We should maybe make both icon positions configurable in Five AM in the future, but in the absence of that, go to Custom CSS and add this:

.has-userpic .comment .userpic {
float: left !important;
clear: left !important;
margin-right: 1em !important;
}

Did you create FiveAM, [personal profile] momijizukamori or am I thinking of someone else off the top of my "dashing about dealing with limbs down" brain?
