HELP!

Apr 18, 2018 18:38

Accidentally ended up on the new version with the stupid Friends Feed and totally moronic posting page. Please can someone help me get back to the old, user-friendly style?

hugs f-list, help needed, argh!

If you mean the S1 thing, I went on a hunt to try to find a solution. There's nothing in the FAQ that I can find. I think I might have to echo what milady_dragon's suggesting. Sometimes the site kicks me out (I guess my session ended, or whatever), and I think that sounds familiar. Haven't had to log back in in a while, though, so I'm not sure.

Ooh! Hang on a sec! I think I might have found something. If possible, try following this link.

I tried that link, but it made it worse so I switched back to S2 again. Thanks for trying though. Looks like I'm stuck with the ugly, cramped update page where everything looks wrong and I have to fumble my way through posting. =(

S2 is better than S1, but I'd far rather the old posting page than the new monstrosity.

Damn. :( I'm sorry that it didn't help. Maybe you can get some help from Support; maybe someone there can tell you how to fix it.

I still appreciate you trying, even though it didn't help - at least it proved to me that it could be worse ( ... )

I think it accidentally kicked me out. It must be that every account has a separate link for that, because I had to switch back.

Wow. That sounds really hard to work with; I don't think I'd be able to work with that, either. Pale blue on white? That's too hard for anyone to see. They really ought to announce potential changes, show a screenshot of what they're planning, and then take a vote, or let people who don't like the changes opt out.

(The CDs came today. I was not expecting so many--that was really generous! Thanks so much!)

Yeah, they just don't think. They're still trying to turn LJ into a Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr clone, and what their users think or want doesn't seem to matter to them. At least dreamwidth keeps us informed and acts fast when a problem is reported.

*grins* You're very welcome! There was no point sending a half-empty box, so I just stuffed in as many as would fit. they were less likely to get broken in transit that way. Hopefully they'll allow you to do everything you want =)
