I couldn't find any way to change back, guess I'd better go and have another look.
The writing is now paler so I can't see it clearly, and the tags lists are pale blue on white which I find hard to focus on. I need black on white so I can see without straining my eyes.
Thanks, I'll see if I can switch back because I really don't like it.
I wouldn't even know where to start tweaking berowser settings. All I know is this is damned ugly and the writing is paler which plays havoc with my eyes. The tags lists are all in pale blue on white and the text of them is smaller. I'm disgusted at being stuck with something that strains my eyes. I get enough migraines as it is, this wil make it worse.
Read through these and could not find the speed bubble with question mark. You can adjust text size on a page, though. If you use Firefox, there is an extension: Default Full Zoom Level, that lets you enlarge/decrease either text size or the entire page, and then reset if necessary. I don't use IE, so can't help you there.
Well, I don't use Firefox, but I found the speech bubble and got switched back to the old version, so I'm safe from eyestrain for now. Thanks for your efforts though *hugs*
I'm lucky I still have my friends page then! *hugs* The whole thing is just one nightmare after another. Why am I still paying for this crap? Oh yeah, so I can still have the paltry icon allowance I get for my 'loyalty'
Did I mention I can't access my own profile? I click on that, get a brief flash of it and then I'm on my recent entries page. And I have a JOURNAL! I don't want it called a blog, it's not a blog. Apparently, we pay to have things the way THEY want them to be, not the way WE want them.
To switch back on mine what I did was go to thing that is supposed to be a home page and in the top right there were a couple of icons, the one furthest right Gave me two options, send feed back (I told them the new design was awful) and most importantly the switch back to old style.
I can't even FIND any icons on my home page, and it won't let me access my own profile page either. The first thing I knew about any of this was when LJ stopped working while I was trying to post, then when I got it back my update page had changed beyond recognition.
How do I find this so-called 'home page' with the icons, because damned if I can find anything that looks like what you're describing!
If was. www.livejournal.com/browse On the top right there's a speech bubble with a question mark in it, that opens the thing with the feed back/switch back
My Sweet Baby Jesus...this is horrible. What is it about white and pale blue that LJ just has to have everywhere? I already get a headache on certain comments pages...and now this?
My day's been a disaster from beginning to end, this was just one infuriating thing among many *sigh*
However, thesilversun's instructions work - I'm back on the old style. Just find the speech bubble with the question mark in it, click it and you'll find a way to switch back. I don't like the old update page very much, but it's still a hell of a lot better than this monstrosity they're trying to foist on us now!
