The commenting fixes and such looks good--not that I had a lot of problems with what these fixes addressed, but fixes to users' functionality problems are generally always welcome.

However, am now waiting for some smart programmer outside of LJ to make something that overrides this scissors business. Why do you do unnecessary things WITHOUT asking the people who use this place every day? (Or is it "Heaven forbid the users actually like the way the site looks, quick, change it!")

It's not like you're lacking for space on the front page now, right? How about some polls for these kinds of changes instead of just enacting them?

I don't mind the dotted line+scissor halves in the rich text edit, but changing parentheses to THAT, reducing visibility, compatibility, and logic?

No. No. No....

And no.

You're a godess *bows down to your feet and starts buildinga shrine* :-D

Hmmm -- I tried that, and all it did was cut off the beginning of my cuts so they were unreadable. I tried tweaking the margin & padding numbers myself and the result was that it put the stupid scissors & dots under the lj-cut text, making it messy and unreadable.

Any suggestions on this? My style is one of the LJ ones: Bunnylicious which is Expressive.

That is amazing, thank you! Fastest fix I've ever tried out, too. ♥

[meridian_rose]

Thank you :D

[glowing_dragon]

What does it look like when finished?

[wildvision]

I love you for this, seriously. Thanks so much! =D

Edit: And I just noticed...if you stick this code in Stylish, it'll let you view the normal cut look anywhere. Well, almost. In some layouts, the scissors show up as transparent, inside the first parenthesis. Not perfect, but still, it's an improvement. (Anyone know how to get rid of that little oddity?)

And of course that was needlessly complicated - here's the simpler version:

.ljcut-link { color:transparent; }
.ljcut-link:before { content:"( "; color:#605549; }
.ljcut-link:after { content:" )"; color:#605549; }
.ljcut-link a { margin-left:-25px; }
