Aargh!

LJ have pissed me off before, but this is the first time I've really felt that they don't want my custom any more. They've forced me to change my cheery old S1 layout that I loved so I can go on seeing the comments page in the old style -for now, but they're threatening to change that in the future, and if they do, having multiple icons will become pointless because that stupid drop down box is so slow to load and so jerky scrolling up and down (presumably, the more icons you have, the slower it is).

:rant: :rant: :foams at the mouth:

It really is annoying. It feels silly because it's like my fifth exodus to DW, but maybe this time it'll stick.

[shapinglight]

I'd be happy enough to come here if everyone else would come too. :(

[rogin]

Same thing here. In the end some people from LJ I'd miss wont migrate and especially the coms.

But I think I might make DW my main journal. I have so little time for the internet (when I am not sick that is) that it might even be easier to stay active if I don't have to catch up with so many posts every time I look in.

[shapinglight]

Yes, that's a good point.

[next_to_normal]

Heh, I feel like everyone keeps saying that, but no one wants to be the first to take the plunge. (Though there are a few of us here full-time already.)

[shapinglight]

I think what happens is that people say they're going to come over here, come here, find very few other people have come too and trudge back. It's easier. Which of course is what LJ relies on.

But if the new comments page makes it actually impossible for some comms to carry on, the trickle to DW could finally become a flood.

Really don't get why they feel the need to keep messing with things. They've only been making it worse in functionality for a long time. It works better for me now, at least temporarily, but it's ugly as sin.

[shapinglight]

Agreed, though before I changed to my S2 layout the functionality wasn't working for me either. But it is ugly, and apparently this is only the start. More huge changes are on the way, which they probably won't tell the users about until it's too late.
