This icon: distressingly true.

Truth: I raged a lot at the "updated" format of LJ's entries and comments yesterday. I have since decided that as grumpy as it might make me, I can live with the ugliness (why Arial of all terrible fonts?!) as long as functionality (Parent/Thread/Expand links for comment threads, alphabetical ordering of userpics, subject lines, mobile access, wtf did they do to screened comments) returns. LJ's promised that they're listening to feedback. Great. It would've saved you some time to just not make shitty changes in the first place, rather than backpedaling, but whatever. Just fix it.

Two things of note:

1. All users can now edit comments, regardless of whether you have a paid account or not. You can't edit comments after someone's replied to them already, of course.

2. If you've ever attached an active credit card to your LJ account for automatic updates, check the status of your account payment. LJ may have auto-enabled automatic updates. Which I'm pretty sure is illegal? Um. Actually, you should look into that regardless of whether you've ever used automatic updates, because reports are coming from people who've never touched it.

PLEASE DO THIS POLL IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH LJ'S CHANGES:

As I have just discovered, omfg how ugly are poll results now too?! You know, the more I read official posts and (non)responses from LJ, the angrier I'm getting again.

I'm [personal profile] meitachi on Dreamwidth and in all honesty unlikely to move (don't hold me to it; I'm getting angrier yet!), but I'll use it to keep track of those of you who do, so drop a line if that's where you're headed.
