re User icons

Does anyone know why the coding for user icons (in their comment space where one usually credits) don't show up properly when you click view thumbnails, unless the user listed is coded according to dreamwidth options?

i.e. by [user name="boji"] shows up but [site name="livejournal.com" user name="boji"] doesn't.

Really? It's working for me.

I'm using [lj site="livejournal.com" user="namehere"]. Does that work better?

Try <user name="boji" site="livejournal.com"> instead - I think it might be the extra "name" that's not working.

AFAIK, "site" isn't a stand-alone sort of thing, that's the part that has to be defined. [site=livejournal.com user name=boji] would work, because it's just reordering the elements "user", "name=boji", and "site=livejournal.com". In coding terms, "site name=livejournal.com" is very different from "site=livejournal.com".

In other words, "name=" is always going to refer to an account/individual, not a domain. If you try to set name=domain.com, the site doesn't understand what you're trying to tell it.
