Oh, eww.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

Oh, that went live? I've been beta testing it for a few weeks now. It's...different.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

Ah, I should have been watching lj_design. They made a post when it went live today.

New Profile Page Goes Live (http://community.livejournal.com/lj_design/17491.html)

For those who have asked about an opt-out option, it's not going to be possible for us to provide that for the profile page or any other significant UI changes. While we would like to be able to support every permutation of the product, adding more complexity at core levels makes it really difficult to design and maintain.

For users that have been with LiveJournal for a long time, it may be hard to understand why we continue to evolve the user interface design. There are a number of factors that go into our decision making process when we make changes to the design of LiveJournal. User feedback is one of the most important ones, but it's not the only factor. Our goal with the profile page redesign and all the user interface design work is simply to make the website easier for everyone to use, which includes new users.

What the shit is right!
Why do websites keep fucking with people? STOP CHANGING YOUR GODDAMN LAYOUTS. THEY'RE FINE.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

It's not bad, actually. But what they need to do now is have a selection option in the account settings dealie.

Which, by the way, may be changing soon as well. I'm beta testing the new one too.

[last-archangel.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad they didn't erase our stuff when they changed the layout. Fuckers.

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

Hotmail just changed theirs, and I have to go reconstruct my favorites because they didn't bother to carry that over. ARGH. (Also, It's pretty blatantly obvious that their new redesign is to keep the ads at the top of the page-- you can't scroll away anymore.)

[schmoo999.livejournal.com]

I think that is the user page now..I was thrown for a complete loop when I went there to copy so I could paste obama_daily.

[aircrash.livejournal.com]

i hate it so. so. much. D:

[aka-paloma.livejournal.com]

OH EWWWWW!!! THEY TOOK MINE TOO!

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

I do not like this. Yuck.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I am not impressed.

[eibii.livejournal.com]

What the hell? This is anti-design. It's like when the whole code breaks sometimes after a server lag and it's HUGE. Except it's permanent. Who on earth thought this was a good idea?

[renaissanced.livejournal.com]

Apparently, the design team spent hours on it. :\

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

Welcome to hell!

It looks like the page incompletely loaded, frankly. Also, way to not use whitespace, asshats.

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Ugly, isn't it?

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree. I don't care for it at all.

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

DUDE I KNOW.

I'm so annoyed (and such a dork) that I capped my old profile page, which I had open in another window for gods know what reason.

[sucrelefey.livejournal.com]

That is unreadable and heading into Myspace shit territory.

[bienegold.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure that's the point. Not that I approve, as I have striven to not have a Myspace page, while Facebook and eljay morph into it.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't think it's all that terrible.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's been an option for members (possibly only paid members, I don't remember) to have it on for the last few weeks or so for beta testing, and I've left it.

[raykat.livejournal.com]

It is soooo fug. I thought my browser was broken.

[dzertva-x.livejournal.com]

I HATE IT TOO I WAS SO LOST WHEN I FIRST WENT TO MY PROFILE.

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

I AGREE SO HARD. WHAT THE SHIT HAPPENED.

[glass-radical.livejournal.com]

(ZYDRATE COMES IN A LITTLE GLASS VILE)

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

I CONCUR. WTF, LJ?

And why is there no opt-out, dammit? *smites*

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

Your icon is awesome. ♥

[raechel]

Yeah, as soon as the beta option popped up I started using it. Not because I'm a fan (although I do like my journal stats on the top of the page a bit since I like to check it from time to time) but because like everything else LJ has ever done, I knew it would eventually become permanent. Figured I might as well get used to it *sigh*

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it sucks huh. I knew this was coming ever since it was offered for beta test months ago.

[sydelbow.livejournal.com]

Yep, I saw beta and I was like oh i will go take a look! And I immediately UN-beta'd.

Sadly, no longer a beta option.

[sydelbow.livejournal.com]

I just went to my own about five minutes ago and had the same moment.

[roseredhoofbeat.livejournal.com]

When are they going to stop trying to be more like myspace? Most of us are an LJ specifically BECAUSE we hate MySpace and Facebook!

[jenni-talula.livejournal.com]

Holy crow that's fugly!
