Fuck You Too, Livejournal

[andraste]

After their update, the default comments page on livejournal is now migraine-inducing for me.

I assume it's caused by the light blue boxes floating on a white background or some other colour-combination thing, but I wasn't going to stick around to analyse it. Fortunately I clicked the back button before it could do worse than cause me a momentary feeling of vertigo and eye-stabbing.

It's not as if I comment much there anyway, but now clicking on the 'comment' button anywhere unfamiliar is Russian roulette. Needless to say the chances of my ever activating comments on my livejournal again have just dropped to zero, unless they roll this back. Does anyone know of somewhere I can complain that isn't likely to cause me horrible, horrible pain? I can hardly ask everyone I know on livejournal to implement a non-default style for their comments page just so I'm not inconvenienced!

No worries, do not want to give headaches to anyone. :(

I think I saw a setting that would force other people's comments pages to display in the same format as yours? So if you have a non-default I think you should be able to set it so everything appears in your less brain-hurty preferred settings? Though I haven't actually tried it, and could be very wrong. ^_^;;

Unfortunately, as you've already found, you have to upgrade to an ad-supported Plus account to get a non-headache inducing custom comments page in the first place. I'm reluctant to let livejournal make money off my content given how I feel about them these days.
