*squee* and a request for help

[xphilehb]

I have a new layout! And it is all thanks to one shannigansx. Seriously, you guys, she is the best. The best! I don't deserve her. I didn't even ask for a banner. She just told me to decide what I wanted because she wanted to make me one. And wow...a pretty one she did make me. So go look and marvel!

And, since most of you will be asking, that's John Crichton and Aeryn Sun from Farscape in the banner. My love for them knows no bounds. You haven't watched, you say? Well, do so!

The sad thing about my new layout? While you all can see my pretty banner, I cannot. For some reason, no matter how many times I refresh or try to clear my cache (or even try Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, which I usually use), I can't see the banner. But it's there. Does anyone have any idea why this is? I'd seriously appreciate any help you can give. Since shannigansx went to all this trouble, I'd really love to see her beautiful work.

I don't understand why I can see most everyone else's banners, but not my own. I do think that I have this problem on a couple other LJs, though. For instance, I believe the lulabo has a pretty banner on her LJ, but except for a few rare ocassions, it never shows up on my computer. So yeah, help would be great if anyone has any ideas. (ETA: So, apparently I can see the banner when I'm previewing an entry, but at no other time. Grrr.)

Oh, and also, a huge THANK YOU to _lashingoutloud who wrote me a fic for my birthday and sent it to me tonight. It was fantastic. And just what I needed to improve my mood. Thank you, love!

I must hand it to Shannon, she did a beautiful job. Aww. John and Aeryn. Twitch.

I'm sorry. I cannot help you with your technical errors. I's not smart. Dawg.

And, uh, it's a good thing I didn't go with the "Luke is beating Lorelai" story. I don't think that would have helped your mood. With all the, "Shut up, bitch" and stuff. Wow. I was really fond of my Luke-Wife-Beater voice today. Pat on the back.

Yeah, whatever. You know that John and Aeryn makes you drool. Not twitch.

You's are smart. Dawg. We're just not technologically advanced enough to figure out the problem.

And I'm glad you didn't go with the Luke beater scenario either. I would have cried. I may have had to stop talking to you too.

Deep breath. We'll discuss this at another time.


Well, I really hope you figure out the problem soon, my love. I know how important your John and Aeryn love is.

Yeah. I'm actually surprised that you're still talking to me after just discussing it. With the voices.

Wow, really. Why are you my friend?

*sings* If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Dang it. Now you've got that song in my head. THANKS. (Speaking of, have you seen the music video (http://jenahville.livejournal.com/155615.html) that jenahville did to Chasing Cars? It's pretty good.)

I'm no help on the viewing issue. Sorry. :(

The most fantastic song ever. And I didn't even ask her to put that in the banner. She's just smart like that...

Thanks for the link to the vid. I watched it about five times in a row. ;-)

I don't know why it won't show up for you! I think that we need to kick both of your web browsers. *nods* Yep.

Well, I'm at work, and I can see it now. It's SO PRETTY! I like the border you put on it.

Thanks again! I am forever indebted.

Oh, and if you haven't already seen it, watch the Farscape video to Chasing Cars that is in the comment above yours.
