FAQ 131 [paid accounts]
After looking at this support request - http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=317551 - it seems that it would be a good idea to explain that a paid community does not have all of the benefits of a paid personal journal.
I'm not sure how it works in the US, but if LiveJournal was based in the UK they could be sued for false advertising :/
So, I think FAQ 131 should mention that some of the paid account features only apply to personal accounts.
Here is the proposed new text:
Though I could be wrong about which features belong in which list.

» What are the paid account benefits?
Paid users keep LiveJournal in business. To show appreciation for users who have made contributions, there are a number of features that are only available to Paid Accounts.
All paid accounts can access these features:
* Ability to create S1 custom styles and have exact control over your journal's layout (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=128)
* Access to additional styles in the S2 style system (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=168)
* Ability to use all options in the S2 customisation wizards (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=171)
* Access to S2's Advanced Customisation area (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=172)
* Ability to create custom mood themes (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=64)
* 15 user picture icons, rather than the 3 allowed to free users (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=46)
* Ability to purchase an additional 35 user pictures (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=180)

* A personalised subdomain name (http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/ in addition to the standard http://www.livejournal.com/users/exampleusername/).
(Note: Do not include www. in the subdomain URL; this will cause you to receive an error message. If your username contains underscores, you may need to change the underscores to dashes to use your personalised subdomain.)

In all of these descriptions, "exampleusername" refers to your unique LiveJournal username.
