You didn't list it but I go to my own user info all the time to quickly find the names of communities or friends that I want to check out -- I also use this a shortcut to their user info by typing over my own user name on the address bar.

I like the options and styles in S2 but I bitterly bemoan the loss of of the simple blue menu bar from S1 -- it's one of the reasons I keep the comments page in S1 so I can get to it easily.

(Of course the other reason I keep the comments page in S1 because all of the S2 styles *insanely* keep the comment box small on a huge page. It would be nice if there were some S2 styles that kept the color schemes and other customizations of the recent page and dropped one or both of the side columns on the comments page, thus allowing the comments to fill the width of the page.)

I use my own user info page a lot too, so I second this. I also use http://www.livejournal.com/friends/filter.bml every single time I log in ( ... )

Okay, thyis is sort of a navigation/browsing type thing...

I LOVE LJ tags... but it's a pain in the ass to use. I either have to remember exactly how my tag is classified, or I have to post the entry, then go to edit tags, to get a list of all of my tags. Couldnt you make a pull down menu for the tags on the update page?

I currently use the default (blue) and I really like it and I know it quite well etc. etc ( ... )

oh, my other S2 complaint, is that I haven't been able to set my friends view and my recent post view to different styles. Is that possible? I should go look. Except it's a moot point anyway thanks to the text browser thing.

It's nice that the one thing I complain about not being easy to click to -- Recent Comments -- isn't listed for "Pages I Go To Regularly"

Thank you for the page navigation question. The menu is rather hard for me to use. Having to put the mouse in all the strategic spots and click just the right place is hard. I'm always clicking something slightly to the right or left and having to go back. And this is someone with no small motor control problems. I'm sure this is twice as hard for people with hands that shake or hurt all the time.

Please re-consider the hidden menus.
