...

Apparently LJ chose for itself which icons I would have access to upon the trial ending. It was a mix of old and new, but not all of their choices were what I wanted. The others were still there, but grayed out so I couldn't use them. Luckily, I'd already decided what would have to go. I've cut down now, albeit I may change my mind about a couple of them later and switch stuff around. But for now I'm satisfied, yet sad I had to let go of some, and running.

Tonight I watch Quincy, M.E. I hope I see lots of Jimmy and can get some great screenshots! And I hope his character doesn't die again.

Yes, same here. Insanejournal offers 100 free icons on their accounts, but they have way too many ads, some of which are terrible from what I remember. Part of me has always wanted to try out the site, but I never do because of all the ads.

Bleh. Did you have to select/deselect something, or did you actually have to delete the icons?

Yeah, I am not looking forward to letting some of mine go, either...

I had to delete them to unlock the others.

Ugh, lovely...

LJ chooses the icons even in a normal paid account. But sad :/ I was hoping it would let us choose for once. A few friends said that there's stayed, apparently. I'm hoping for the same. XD But I doubt it.

*will miss Legolas' icons and such*

Yes, I'm missing the ones I cut out. After using some different ones I decided to keep most of those, but I still wanted the old ones too.

feels like I haven't talked to you like.. a really long time

My subscription is going to end soon, too. I need to remember to buy another one for the next year asap

I've always wondered how that would be solved. Sounds interesting. I don't really think I have to worry about icons, I only have a few. But I'm glad you figured out which you want to keep for now^^

I don't really know the tv shows your talking about lately, and they don't really interest me ( my sister is more into those mystery and crime stories.she couldn't get me infected though)

Eeep, yeah, it has been a while. And I remember again that I still haven't read your latest chapter! I've been falling behind with people's stuff again.

Yeah, I planned out about the icons yesterday.

The Monkees is a comedy, but true, the rest are mostly mystery/crime of some description. Kolchak is supernatural mysteries, though---werewolves, zombies, doppelgangers....

>< Well, I guess it makes sense that they can't send you a "So which icons do you want to keep?" email, but they could at least have told you. That's why I don't really like trials, they just make me want it more and be sad when the trial is over... XD

Yaaaay TV shows! Oh, that happens often? XD

I thought they might just gray out all the icons I'd put in during the trial, rather than giving me a mix.

I had considered buying a paid account for two months with $5, like I used to do, but I don't have any money to spare right now.

Nope. LOL. But it just did in the last guest spot I watched.

I used to love watching Quincy. It was always on during weekday afternoons in England, either that or Murder She Wrote. Who's Jimmy btw?

[identity profile] insaneladybug.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
This fellow here. Jimmy Murphy, who played Tony Ferano in Alias Micky Dolenz.

The Quincy episode was interesting! I like the character. Jimmy had only a small part, but his character didn't die nor was he the murderer, so I'm pleased.

Apparently they choose the icons depending on how often you use them until it hits the max amount.

Ahh. I wondered if they were trying to gauge it somewhat like that. That's interesting.
