Note: For those new readers unfamiliar with this community, ruljautonews is my personal project to help the English users of LJ learn about what's going on via the various Russian-language based sources of news. This is not an official LiveJournal community, I am not a member of LJ staff, and your comments here will most likely only be seen by other regular

oh god oh god oh god this may be what makes me stop reading my friends page

[elliemurasaki]

Yep. I will be VERY SAD if I have to stop reading my friends page because it is ugly and nonnavigable. I do not want to make a Dreamwidth feed for all the people and comms I follow on LJ, at least not until somebody figures out how to make RSS on DW respect cut tags, and I really do not want to stop reading all these people.

[foxfirefey]

RSS on DW or any feedreader won't respect LJ cut tags, because LJ doesn't put any cut tag information in the feed's output.

[elliemurasaki]

BAH. BAH I SAY.

Infinite scroll?? D: D: REALLY DO NOT WANT. :( :( :(

[trobadora]

The new friends page is styled in the site scheme and not like your journal. [snip]
Instead of clicking a Previous link to page back, the new page uses an "infinite scroll" like Tumblr.

Each of these on their own would be enough to make me give up on my friends page for good.

If a new entry is posted while you're reading, a notification will appear on the right.

This, too.

I've stuck with LJ through a lot, but basic usability isn't something I can do without.

:( :( :(

But tumblr has a way to TURN OFF infinite scroll, so LJ wtf could you have that option too, please?

[hiyami]

+1

The main reason I haven't completely moved from LJ to other fandom sites like Tumblr etc is because all those other ones are on infinite scrolls and I find their design unclear and unpractical.

Also you can't find anything if you're not constantly online.
If LJ switches to infinite scroll as well, I don't see what will remain of my interest for it... Sad I have a permanent account!

There is a reason why infinite scroll on tumblr dashboard is OPTIONAL VIA SETTINGS.
Not everyone's computers can take the same load.

This would really fuck up functionality.

[marguerite_26]

THIS.

Infinite scroll on Tumblr is a MESS. Tumblr for me is only functional when I opt out of it and I can't imagine my friends page being infinite scroll. One poster who forgets their LJ-cut and my entire flist is unreadable.

Dear LJ - stop giving us functionality that we don't want. At the very least make it optional.

[fallconsmate]

Dear LJ - stop giving us UNfunctionality that we dont want.

there, fixed that for you.

[stormcloude]

Wow, I hate every one of these friend's list changes. Infinite scroll is horrible and crashes my browser. And the scissors are ugly. And why are they destroying our layouts?

Thank you for the heads up.
