Bzuh?

Okay, so this has totally been an "annoying new user-unfriendly interface" week for both Tumblr and Trillian. Who's going to be the third service to piss off their userbase this week, because these kinds of things so often come in threes? I'm on the edge of my seat, waiting to find out. Can they beat Tumblr fucking up two of its dashboard's most

omg tumblr. Just when I was like "I think I'm figuring this shit out!" It had to go and make it MORE CONFUSING THAN BEFORE! *raaaaage*

Yeah, it is totes un-user-friendly now.

I really don't see the point of rearranging the list of your blogs and then them allowing to put only two on the top menu. WHAT THE FUCK, TUMBLR. I also miss the notifications on my main dash (which sucks since some of my blogs are lower-traffic and I'd love to see the actual traffic when it happens) and and and THE TINY FUCKING FONT IS ANNOYING THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME. Hellooooo, accessibility fail. And general fail. Along with many people's userpics (not necessarily the users' own faces, but there are way too many toothy Roses and Shrieky!Moriartys making horrible >:O faces enough to make me want to punch the screen). Yeah, yeah, I could slather on the AdBlock, but when they were tinier, I didn't have to...

Also, my sympathies about the Asshole Atheist (TM) stuff on your blog. Those fuckwits know nothing at all about religions/worldviews/whatever because it seems to be impossible for that particular type to see a spiritual person with any brains whatsoever. Le sigh.

ugh thanks.

Religion wank always makes me sick to my stomach, because it's something I am still so unaccustomed to. I spent 10 years in Catholic school. Then went on to public high school where my best friends were an atheist and Pagan... Same with my college friends. I have maybe spent too much time around tolerance that I'm still too sensitive to intolerance?

Ah well, I have a good friend in seminary right now who has a degree in Physics. So how's that for faith and brains?

I don't use Trillian, whatever that is, but I like the new messagebox thing and the ability to answer asks privately with more ease on Tumblr. Everything else pisses me off. Why have they attempted to fix what isn't broken? The one thing I have never heard anyone complain about on Tumblr was the way the old dash was set up, and that's what they change. Bastards.

[snowgrouse]

Trillian has, until now, been the least bloated messenger thingit on the intarwebs (meaning you can use IM, MSN, AIM and other services through one fairly lightweight programme).

I don't do messagey stuff on Tumblr all that much, so bah:/ I wish they'd put in more work to stabilise their sodding servers and that they'd fix that stupid thing where you get ancient notifications on your dash about 17,390 times while the new notes take forever to show up (and that thing where an entry's notes suddenly just vanish).

It would also be pretty cool if they could raise the ridiculously low size limit on gifs and not resize high-res images that still fall under the 10 MB limit for stills. Also, sarcasm tags, because either some people don't know how to write such things, or I suck at picking up on it. Or both.

My bet's that LJ will be next just because they tend to piss off their userbase on a semi-regular basis. But maybe we'll get lucky and the next screw up will come from Facebook or something else no one gives a serious crap about.

[snowgrouse]

I was *really* surprised LJ's latest changes were actually user-friendly and non-shitty ones. What's the world coming to? But yeah, will have to see how it goes.
