I don't like the new changes, especially the stupid posting editor that never seems to work for me.. I don't mind the profile page so much and it's not like I look at that page much and I still have the old friends page so again I don't have to look at the shitty new changes.
I won't be moving from here. I moderate to many comms and DW doesn't really appeal to me much either. Besides my LJ is nearing a permanent account and so it will be worth not having to pay so much for my icons once I get there. I am on tumblr more so nowadays any way, but I don't see myself up and moving any time soon I am happy with alternating between LJ and tumblr
Though I do understand the anger from the users as LJ has all but ignored their users for years now. I remember when they first changed the profile page, editor and introduced the scrap book and that didn't go down to well back then years ago, but the users got used to the change and even started to use the scrap book... so what I am trying to say is that LJ will always try and compete with FB, Twitter, Tumblr and other blogging sites like its clone DW etc. just a shame they don't listen to what their users want and don't want.
They're going to replace the friend's page though with the new one, just like the did with the option we had for the profile and they STUPIDLY took that out so we had no choice but to see Jimmy's "First URL assignment~*~"
Well that's because it's still starting out and even LJ started out small. Pretty soon LJ is going to completely "Web 2.0" aka modern and sleek look only the thing is, they're going to fail at it because the guy they hired is AWFUL at design. Gradients gradients and more freaking gradients. No sense of separation or anything. I frequent Tumblr a lot too but the past days, I haven't since I am working on a site for my roleplaying stables in the Sims 3 Equestrian community xD
Try is the keyword though. If they had a better designer than the one they have right now, they would definitely comlete. The new comments and the gradients give some people headaches. The new profile makes NO SENSE and the new comment system made no sense of it changing. They do not listen to their user base and people have already stopped their automatic payments (I did as well, paid account to expire in June). They are slowly going to DW and I even bought a premium account. I've had enough of LJ's staff not giving a shit about us and their crappy designers.
Well that will be a bit of a bloody ass if the new friends page will override current layouts... I personally do not like it.
Then I can understand everyone's annoyance, but surely LJ needs to rethink things through as it must have seen a decline in profits with a lot of users abandoning LJ to go else where like tumblr.
