Help us steer site navigation!

[bluemeringue]

As you probably noticed, we recently redesigned the LiveJournal global navigation menu to improve site useability, based on input we received from both new and experienced users. Our goal is to make LiveJournal features and products as intuitive and easy-to-use as possible. At this juncture, we'd like to get your detailed suggestions on what you

I feel really stupid for asking this, but where the heck did the FAQ stuff get moved to now?

I don't see it directly linked anywhere in XColibur. (although I can use the search box to search the faqs)

Bundling ScrapBook into "My Stuff" was a fantastic way to hide it, but a terrible way to enhance usability -- you must now navigate through submenus and poorly constructed pages on the pixplace server to do anything on ScrapBook. I would like to re-voice my previous requests to keep ScrapBook in its own menu.

Although "My Stuff" is better than "Me" or whatever it was originally, the header is still ambiguous and uninformative. It feels like you've just lumped stuff arbitrarily into a "miscellaneous" category and hoped no one would notice.

Yeah, I'd also like to voice my concern about the v-gifts. Is it intended behavior that if you remove one you will get the next one down in the queue? I've had hundreds of v-gifts sent to my journal and I liked the way they eventually disappeared. I'm not keen on having that gigantic wall of terribly upsized pictures as a permanent fixture on my journal's profile, but neither am I pleased by the prospect of manually clicking through hundreds of v-gifts to ask them not to display.

I'd like to add that I may be able to control how many v-gifts appear on my own profile, but I have no way (short of hiding them all site-wide) of stopping them from cluttering up other people's. This is a problem when the info I am most likely to want from a user's profile is their bio, or some idea of which interests or friends we have in common.

[intrepia]

Maybe collapse the vgift section on other people's profiles?

1. i dont like the name "my stuff" or "me" their awful, please change it back to profile.

2. can i opt out of "share this" i dont want my stuff linked on any of those sites and i dont want to promote the links to do that on my entries.

3. i can live without the "shop" and "lj extras" navigation i would prefer scrapbook navigation back.

4. i dont want to navigation bar to randomly switch on me when im clicking through pages.

Good point, and the more I think about it, the less comfortable I am with ShareThis. It was different when all that link did was send a few emails. I think right now the only way you can reliably block ShareThis sharing of your entries is to post everything locked :(

I don't want people to get the impression that it's okay to re-publish my posts elsewhere.

If I had wanted a "share/add this" button I could have gotten one long ago.

Yet another feature that really should have been opt-in.

One more "yes, please" for this.

Your latest update broke semagic.

[lied_ohne_worte]

To be fair, that is something Semagic would need to fix. LJ can't start to make its updates conform to third-party software it does neither endorse nor provide support for.

[pauamma]

Actually, it was a LJ problem. See http://community.livejournal.com/changelog/8248335.html. :-)

[arethinn]

In what way? (I use semagic but haven't tried to use it to post since this update)

Re: re-arranged again

[spiritsshadow]

Not sure if it was anywhere before, since I never really looked for it, but it's bolded at the bottom of the page, right above the copyright.
