Livejournal's At It Again!
From the website that pissed off all their fandom user base twice, Livejournal has decided to go for the gold and piss off their entire user base this time around. I present to you...

The Profile Massacre of 08!

In other words, Livejournal changes the profile design without warning and announces it later. Naturally, Livejournal users are very unhappy. There's more unhappiness to be found over at the news post. (Which hilariously includes a reminder that permanent accounts are going on sale.)

But that's not all! More hilarity ensues when the LJ Design Team posts again and clearly ignores the complaining.

Oh, Livejournal. What WON'T you do?

I seem to recall the Lj design team being called out on this a few days ago and insisting that it was all theoretical and they were still looking for feedback.

I'll say exactly what I was thinking then.

HA!

It's undoubtedly wanky (on both sides, with the reactions and the reactions to the reactions and...yeah...), but I'm completely confused. I've been using the beta version of this thing for over a month already! I had no idea it was a secret?

I knew they were toying with a new scheme, and I think I even commented in one of the beta pages that it wasn't very good. But to implement it with no opt-out, then say they can't give us an opt-out (though we obviously had one during beta testing?!) is fail. Again.

But hey, someone already posted a picture of stumpy-arm kid, calling us out for NOT PRIORITIZING OMFG!!11One!

I could care less about how ugly it is if people couldn't read cache versions of my f-locked posts. Sigh... I'm not sure if people noticed the LJ Search/Seek/Whatever option next to the usernames though, they're pretty keen on just getting an opt-out.

Well, I guess it's not as bad as it could be... remember the 2-column try they made back in 2006 (2005? 2007?)? I think that was worse.

I like that I can use the little arrows to hide sections quickly. That's nice. I'm pretty ambivalent about the rest.

Ehh. It's ugly but functional. Has some handy shortcuts. And, call me crazy, but I spend most of my time looking at my friends page, not my profile page.

And I am a major change-phobic kind of person, so my indifference to this is kind of scaring me. A little.

Also, the info about the last time a user has posted has always been available so I don't know how that's a sudden problem. It's always been in the extended profile when you clicked the "more information" link at the bottom of the page.

I, for one, LOVE IT. I've been waiting for it to go live since they announced it Monday, but I guess elections/OMG OBAMA posts flushed the posts off people's flist or something.

And hey, they DID listen to us when they announced plans to separate the Profile and Bio pages. When they saw the negative feedback they immediately retracted themselves.

I'm definitely not a huge fan of the new profile, as I find it too cluttered, but LJ's made worse decisions in the past.

In other news, how about the permanent account price that is really only cost-effective if you're going to spend another 7+ years on LJ?

if anyone needs to go back and choose the "do not include with 'explore lj' results" checkbox, it's under viewing options for some fucking bizarre reason. Also, there's the "do not share with search-bots," which I think works with ljseek?


I think I just spent ten minutes staring at the site map trying to figure out where on earth such a thing would be. I wish they had "privacy preferences" or "account settings" or something, yanno?
