Where would I find a place to change, userlink icon Options

[SuperShineyGirl]

I want to change it from the default

to something else like a square of different colored squares like at this journal here

[Mulder]

are you using S1 or S2?

[SuperShineyGirl]

S2 right now but I would be interested for S1 as well. I found a site with the general code but i have no URL's for the actual pics

Well, this is the override for S1:

span.ljuser{
background-image: url(http://yourimagehost.com/yourimage.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left middle;
}
span.ljuser img{
visibility: hidden;
}

You'd replace the red part with the URL for the image you want to use.

If you hadn't seen this tutorial yet, here's another one:

However, if you're using a free S1 account this won't show up on your comment pages.
