Greasemonkey Script brings back the old Update Journal Page

Dec 14, 2006 16:21

As you're probably well aware, there were a few changes made to LJ Wednesday, including a major overhaul of the Update Journal (and Edit Journal Entry) pages. More than a few users didn't like the new changes.

Behold, I have created a GM script to bring the old Update Journal back from the dead.It's just javascript that moves the form elements ( Read more... )

"chamges" should be "changes"

Re: Typo... _milashka December 19 2006, 14:47:32 UTC

yeah, and those chamges were not done yesterday, but a week ago :)

It took lj_nifty five days to approve my post.. I thought it'd be quicker.

Re: Typo... _milashka December 19 2006, 14:52:28 UTC

yeah, I saw your edit :) Wow, long approval time. Can you imagine if you had posted during Christmas?

I think we should call the latest changes "chamges," because, well. They're a mistake. I loathe the look and feel of the new update page. Whyyyyy? It's jumpy and nasty. Anyway, thank you for working to override these hideous "improvements."

My God, you people really don't know how to shut up, do you? "Even though you fixed my menial concerns.. I would still like to complain."

vorona December 19 2006, 16:38:43 UTC

How rude. Yes, people discuss. It's human. Why should we not discuss our "menial" concerns with something that's quite important to us, LiveJournal, on... LiveJournal? It's completely relevant. I don't understand your snappish reaction. If you find this topic so "menial," why not go do something which interests you more, instead picking a fight about other people's stress, and insulting strangers? You don't know me, but now our only interaction has been your snapping "shut up" - what's the idea? I was simply expressing my opinion on a trend which concerns me. I like LJ very much, I want it to thrive, and open criticism is part of making and keeping a community great.

Thank you for the replacement of a far better update page than the new one! Now, because I'm not that great with java-- how do I get it to work, please?

Have the best

how to get it to work erorus December 19 2006, 19:02:35 UTC

1. Download and install Firefox, if you're not using it already.
2. Download and install Greasemonkey, which is a browser extension for Firefox.
3. Click the "Behold" link in my post above, and Greasemonkey will ask if you want to install the script. Click the "install" button in the window that pops up, and you're done.
