ETA: There, what do you think? I think the color scheme ("Grays") keeps enough of the feel of the old style.
Edited once again to add:
I have been wondering about these two options on my "Edit Personal Information" page since I first made my journal, and today I played around with them a bit, but I can't see any difference in comments on my or anybody else's journal if they're turned on:
Add &nc=xx to comment URLs
Check this if you want to append the comment count to URLs to make your browser possibly display the links in a different color.
View comment pages in your journal style?
Check this option to view comment pages in your journal style when following links from your friends page.
If someone can tell me what they're supposed to do... well, I'm just curious. I've seen that some people can get their comments page to display in the style of their journal, and I can't figure out how to do that (or if I really want to - I don't want to confuse the non-LJ-people who read my journal.)
