I hope it's optional!

So!

According to reports, lj wants to change up the userinfo. Hmm, I thinks, could be okay? Maybe!

But then I went to lj_design and used their little bit of code to have a look at what my userinfo would look like.

That sucks!

[wonder_rock]

I know! :(

[postalpolitik]

Holy shit! This means everyone is going to have userinfo that goes off the page. I fucking hate that.

[postalpolitik]

Wait, did you read the whole post? At the end, the chick says 'And before you ask...
Yes, I am well aware that if we release it, you would like an option to turn it off.
:)'

It's not really an issue then, is it?

[wonder_rock]

Yeah, I read the whole post. I'm not a dick you know. :p

It's just the thing with live journal is they sometimes don't keep their word.

And it should probably be an option you turn on rather than turn off, like with that shit as ugly navigation strip you can get at the top of your main journal page.

I think the reason it goes of the page in my example is that my bio text is in a table with a width which is wider than the column.

Though, one user posted in the comments a screenshot (they had very small res - 750 or something) of what they would see and it went of the page to yingity. So I don't know.

But I hate it too. It's pretty damn simple coding (even I can do it!) to have a site fit the width of a screen, especially if the site doesn't have large images. :/

That looks like arse. But, as Georgia said, it's probably going to be optional. Lucky. I don't think many people will want that. >_>

[wonder_rock]

It looked like about 15-20% of users in the comments liked it, and the rest didn't (though I didn't read all of the comments - there was 13 pages of them!).

I just hope live journal keeps their word. :/

this isn't relevant to your post at all--

i have been using this icon since you were so kind to make it, and i enjoy the icon very much. however, i have been told that it's incorrectly attributed to ms. parker, and that derek jarman actually said it. darn. just wanted to pass that on.

[wonder_rock]

Really? Crapsticks. :(

I guess that's what you get for gettin' your info off the internet!

I amended the icon just incase you wanted to keep using it. :)

and just so my post is relevant I think the new userinfo thing sucks. If it aint broke dont fix it and all that.

[wonder_rock]
