Colour me extremely annoyed that they keep 'tweaking' things that don't need tweaking. It was like when they automatically added a "My Games" option to your header and I was like.. "I GOT NO GAMES! GTFO!!"

I'm expressly annoyed at the hovermenu and the fact that it seems to override the customized settings. I call bullshit on that.

The default userpic is annoying, especially for RP'ing. I PICK A CERTAIN USERPIC FOR A REASON, YO!

*sigh*
I'm getting seriously annoyed with lj lately. SERIOUSLY.

I found your complaint on the post (when it FINALLY showed up there was a release x_x because there WASN'T last night until I'd submitted tickets) and I LOVED how everyone as like "well change your layout! what do you mean you don't have userheads!?!?!"

well no, I don't have userheads. they're ugly. also the hover menu is stupidly BIG now and where it appears - above or below - is also not ideal and broken. it goes up when I think it should go down and it's HUGE and even if you can argue the functionality of the view profile, it's still stupidly big and unwieldy.

lolz.. I DON'T WANNA CHANGE MAH LAYOUT! I WORKED HARD TO GET IT LIKE THIS! *grumbles* And most of my rp ones are custom and userhead-less as well. I call bullshit.

The hover menu is bullshit.

And now, ljlogin isn't actually logging me in. :(

I hate you, LJ.

OMG serious word on all of this. Having access to someone profile from the hover menu was probably one of the features I used the most. WTF?

God, this is just like Delicious, removing the best features and leaving us with... crap. *headdesk*

I knew that userhead things can direct you to a profile, but again, they're not on my flist either unless someone actually puts a person's username in an entry.

See? There's the userhead. *points to name* If this comment were actually an entry that would pop up on my flist, I'd be able to see and click on it and go into the profile. But when looking at a person's entry, where their name is just below their icon, there is no userhead, just their name. I hate having to click on someone's username and go into their journal to get to their profile. Especially if I'm on my computer at home, since I live in the middle of fricking nowhere where we're still stuck with dial-up internet. It's extremely slow on downloading pages, and having to click into someone's journal means having to deal with the page downloading, which could take forever if they're particularly graphic-heavy. Hence why I loved the 'view journal | profile' option in the hover menu. Nice little short-cut that saved me a lot of grief.

someone on my flist was bitching about the hover menu and I was like what? it's great! I can directly go to profiles! Why would I disable it!?

*huffs*
