And Livejournal fucked up yet again... >_<
This time, they
- changed the comment style page, destroying who knows how many communities, as they removed the subject box,
- used bright colors that hurts some people's eyes
- the russian staff 'insulted' the complaining people (non verbatim: "they're not happy with the changes" "oh, they'll get used to it" amongst others)
- for those who have a lot of userpics (and/or a slow connection), it's a nightmare to choose one, as there isn't a drop menu listing anymore, you have to charge a drop menu which displays all icons
- some users can't even use the comment part, something to do with a conflict with Firefox apparently. (when you know that Firefox is like, the second browser used worldwide...)
- they promised two weeks paid compensation for all the DDoS attacks and you might want to check, because I certainly didn't get mine!
- apparently, there was a beta for some English users and for Russian ones. Both, mainly, said no to the changes. LJ still went ahead. I wonder why they bother with a beta... >_<
- there is no preview available anymore, before validating your comment. They say that everybody will eventually be able to edit their comment, since a preview isn't something possible with this scheme. I mostly bought a paid LJ because I needed this feature and now it's free...
- ... I won't continue, as the list seems infinite.
(you can find more about this here: http://news.livejournal.com/140511.html . Check out the previous posts too, because this isn't the first post they published about this horror show.)
So, until now most changes didn't affect me, as I merely used Dreamwidth crosspost option and never had to "set foot" on LJ. Now, commenting is a bitch.
I already didn't like loosing time by commenting, but forced myself because authors deserved it. How many people do you think will simply throw in the towel and stop commenting altogether?
Anyway, it's 7:40 am, I lost half an hour with this shit when I should have left for work 10 minutes ago, so I'll just ignore this and go on with my life.
That said, I HAVE INVITE CODE FOR DREAMWIDTH PEOPLE, DON'T HESITATE TO ASK!!!
(also, there is a community where you can ask for codes, at![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_codesharing, and there is mostly always someone who can help you.)
==> Yeah! for Dreamwidth people!!! (and in fact, it appears that the without invite code works until the end of the year)
