the 'new' lj

[creekside12]

I posted a request re how to switch back to the old format. The response I got also stated that you can "temporarily" switch back until the "beta period is completed". Which sounds to me like the change is going to happen whether we want it or not. I responded that NOBODY wants this change and to take its members concerns into account. I'm not optimistic....

Thank goodness people are posting about it, and I just added it.

A fix To switch to the OLD STYLE: On the main LJ page: Top right corner in the blue menu bar, there's an empty square you can click on, between "Post to Blog" and the little magnifying glass search. If you click it you get a popup asking if you want to explore the new features or switch back to old.

Don't know how long their beta runs, but I hope its a long ass time!

You can switch back.

When viewing any system page that shows the standard blue header banner (such as the home page), there will be a link labeled 'Post in blog' near the right side of the banner.

To the right of the 'Post in blog' link, there is what appears to be a blank space, and then an envelope icon. Click on that blank space between 'Post in blog' and the envelope icon'. The image at http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/markf/1314111/43922/43922_original.jpg shows how this will appear.

A dialog box will appear with information about the redesign -- at the bottom of that dialog, there is a 'Switch back to old version' link you can use to return to the previous version.
