This one actually hit very late Monday night, as I'm sure everybody discovered on their own, but things have been a wee bit busy in the House of 1000 Cats this week, so this is the first chance I've had to write it up.
There's no
news post this time, just the
LJ Releases post. Aside from some changes to how Scrapbook galleries are ordered (most recently uploaded appear first), the only major change is the big, honking obvious one:
LJ-Cuts, when left-clicked, now open right on your Friends page, instead of taking you to the entry page. Once they're opened, a "collapse" link appears at the spot where the cut text was, so you can close it again if so desired.
To ignore this change entirely and never see an expanded cut-tag on your friendslist, you can
- Right-click the cut-tag and open page in another tab or window. (For a tablet, long-pressing on the link will bring up the right-click menu in Firefox/Opera/etc. The default Android phone browser, notsomuch, but Option 2 still works.)
- Left-click on the subject line, the comments link, or the permanent "Link" to open the full entry in the same tab/window.
TL;DR: It's a tad unsettling, but it can be avoided.
Thass all I gots! As always, feel free to share if you've got other workarounds, problems you've noticed with the change that aren't mentioned here, ponies, cake, or pie.
