*Mod Note
For the time being, I'm putting on the customised comment page for this place's layout. Sorry, guys, I know it's ugly, but at least it functions better than the new site scheme one. ^^;
I'll switch back as soon as there's some sort of opt-out or they swap back to the old scheme, but for now I guess we're stuck with this.
ETA: Okay! It's meant having to change the journal style, and I'm still working through some kinks with it, but I've found a script to at least add back subject lines and return some of the functionality! I'll just go sob in the corner now LJ WHAT DID YOU DO
ETA2: Other than not renewing any paid accounts, I have two suggestions to help with encouraging LJ to sort out the mess they've made. Firstly, sign the petition! Secondly, if you haven't already, enable adblock. They don't seem to be listening to paying customers so far, but here's hoping that if they start to lose out on ad revenue too, that'll help.
If they don't roll back the changes, however, I'm going to look at the logistics of moving us over to Dreamwidth. Currently, they're invite-free until New Years, and as of the new update they've been talking about making it so that you can port over communities as well as just journals. I'm aware that it's not ideal, given that DW is invite- or paid-only most of the time, and if you guys are against it then I'll just carry on doing what I can to keep things functioning over here. If you're up for it, though, and LJ doesn't do anything to make things actually work, then I'll definitely look at whether it would be possible!
