Profile Page Override

Stylish override for the profile pages.Requires that you have Stylish for Firefox, or some other means to override CSS. Instructions are there, and clear. And it really makes the profile pages look much more manageable. It reinstates the underlining for friends and interests, fixes the font problems, adds an indent to each section, removes the

I bypass my profile page entirely by using the old-but-still-extant LJ Portal page as my entry point. While it doesn't change how my profile page looks to others, it does prevent me from getting annoyed every time I load my own journal. (-:

That's still around? Awesome!

[kightp]

Yep. I added it to my browser's menu bar back when it was being promoted as the Great New Thing (and I rather thought it *was*. LJ's designers have switched directions and removed all evidence of it from the site's various link pages, but the Portal is still there.

So much more useful than the latest mess.

ooh, fave'd that. Thanks for the link, I didn't know it even existed anymore!

[daez]

Ooooh, thank you! Installed and using now!

I hate the new profile layouts. :( Wish they'd let us enable an option to go back to the old ones.

[naamah_darling]

Me, too. I can see why they really can't, from a logistical standpoint, but . . . the new design sucks so bad.

The thing about the profile page business that really irritates me?

It's yet another stupid thing they worked on, instead of adding a very necessary feature that's been long needed, and much requested: the ability to search the LJs of friends, respecting security tags and "friends-only" settings.

Right now there is no good, robust way to search LJ.

[naamah_darling]

I've wanted that too, really badly. And they could even make it opt-out, like, if you didn't want your journal to be searchable, you could nix it.

[flewellyn]

I think that would defeat the purpose. The whole point of this idea is that the search mechanism would be built into LJ, and would respect the built in filtering LJ already provides. So only friends could search on friends-only posts, for instance, or people who are on a particular filter could search that filter. There wouldn't be any need for further barriers.

[naamah_darling]

True. If it respected security levels already in place, there wouldn't be much of an issue with people accessing information that they shouldn't be seeing anyway.

Psst.
