?_? I don't get it, what's wrong with that design for the LiveJournal layout? It looks great to me. I've been using LiveJournal for over ten years and it's always looked about the same... boring.
They really changed up the comment system. Are you maybe seeing them all in your style? Try this link? http://livejournal.design.ru/posts/comment/ It's all in Russian, but they look the same as the English version. >.> It also means that they may be changing up all the other pages to look like they do on that post.
No I'm seeing the new comment system. There's nothing wrong with it. Is this really so upsetting to some people that they feel the need to storm off to other websites? I've seen some nasty things written, I thought something really serious had happened.
For me it's not the comment system itself (though I don't care for it - particular without preview and spellcheck D: That is a major problem). I know other people really need the subject lines of comments for things like trigger warnings, but that doesn't effect me personally. For me it's the way it was handled, and the threat of things to come.
It seems like the design decisions were made on one guy's experience, were made against the feedback they received, were kept a secret from the English userbase, and then got snarky. Basically, they handled every single aspect of this change in the worst possible way, and there may be more dramatic layout changes coming. All that is enough for me to at least want to have a backup. From just the day or so I've been active on dreamwidth... wow! I had forgotten what it was like to have a staff that really cares about the users so much.
If it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother you and more power to you for that. :) It's not like I'm vanishing from lj, but I think I'll have my dreamwidth too.
