singing this'll be the day that i die

I have a Dreamwidth mirror for anyone who wants to add me there. I'm not terribly fond of DW's page layouts either (it's the color scheme/font), but they are still loads better than this new shit that LJ has implemented. I had another DW account that I added many of you on ~back in the day, but it's become a private/unused journal, so please add me @alwaysenduphere there now, if you'd like.

My paid userhead and extra icons both ran out today, conveniently enough, so guess what I'm not renewing.

Fuck you, LJ.

*customized comment pages are on for now. I hope this layout's aren't terribly cumbersome for everyone.

I don't mind the new icon thing or even the layout so much. What I don't like is the lack of subject lines, not being able to preview comments, and having long collapsed threads looking all hideous and bulky. Makes roleplaying very difficult. Hopefully if they get enough backlash from the horrible changes they'll actually listen to us and give back the stuff we want.

It's the font that's the worst for me, tbh. I do A LOT of reading on LJ, and Arial really is just not a comfortable font to read in, in my opinion.
The lack of subject lines is also shit, though, pretty much renders RP blogs and memes impossible to navigate. I hold no hope that they'll listen completely and change it back, but maybe enough voices will at least give us some usability back, for sure.

Have you tried AO3 - I like that for reading (and I love the facility to download in mulitple e-formats)

I'm http://amberdreams.dreamwidth.org/ if you want to shack up - I've not used DW much but if everyone is migrating I guess I'll have to!

I've been using DW as a backup journal for awhile now, but it seems like slowly more and more people are migrating over, doesn't it?
