A very topical LJ poll

[foxfirefey]

So, I want to get a spread of opinions from people still reading their friends pages (hi!) about some things, because I can get into a bubble on topics like this and not really understand what people might actually feel about topics, but am really curious about reactions. So, without further ado:

Comments

I used to force site scheme on other people's comment pages, but that was until the comment pages got fucked up. Now I loathe both other people's styles and site scheme

This.

[kerravonsen]

(nods) Me too.

[cellio]

Me too. Now I have to force my journal style on comment pages, but my style has some flaws that I don't know how to fix. And my style is one of the few I find visually accessible. The site scheme, despite the painful white background, was still ok for comments until they shrank all the fonts and borked up the commenting interface.

If I can't control colors, font sizes, and page width (no LJ, your 1200px default width or whatever doesn't work for me), I'll be forced to drop LJ. That would suck. :-(

Same here.

And another +1 for that.

Almost exactly what I wanted to say in response to that question.

If Dreamwidth gave us the option of displaying our reading lists in the site scheme, hell, I might even use it, because their site design is actually super-readable, way more than I can manage through my own tweaking. And because they have useful links on the system pages. But LJ seems determined to make all their system pages ever-uglier, more clogged up with browser-breaking crud, less readable, and more full of flashing promotional shit screaming for your attention.

It exists, it's just not linked anywhere yet because it's not really totally finished. Add ?style=site to the end of your reading page URL (so, like, http://denise.dreamwidth.org/read?style=site) and it will show you the site-skinned approximation.
