niankhsekhmetI am really VERY tired of LJ updating my viewing options for me! I put them the way I wanted them for a reason. It is convenient for me. I don't give a raggedy DAMN about your new bloody features. I don't care about your new viewing options. Leave my stuff the way I put it or I can take my business and go elsewhere.
In case anyone else has had their "new and improved" (NOT!) crap foisted on them: Here is the page to change it back again!

LJ seems to have forgotten the three-clicks rule of user interface design for web. That rule is, if it takes more than three clicks to get anywhere you have lost the eyeballs of the visitors to your website. Losing those eyeballs on your site equals losing revenue. LJ, since the merger with Six Apart has pretty much become a user interface mess. Nevermind with their new "improvements' the FAQ is not easy to find, or just about anything else. No, I don't want a site that is more like MySpace. If I wanted to be on that Internet purgatory, I'd be there. I have a MySpace page. I have never, nor do I ever have any plans to update it.
Yes, I know. Some people like all that sensory overload, multimedia, bandwidth hell crap. I don't. Call me anal retentive and obsessive compulsive or an old lioness who refuses to learn new tricks - but I hate the interface. It's clumsy and it doesn't work for me. It's just common courtesy to ask people before you just change it on them to try to get them to go with your improvements.
I will not be asimiliated.

Date: 2006-12-08 02:56 am (UTC)They basically made people choose a style back in September and if you didn't they would choose it for you, which was to be the new browsing options. Well, I chose my style of browsing options and now once every couple of months, when I didn't change anything, they supercede my choice and inflict on me theirs.
So that is why I posted the link. So I can find it back and put it back the way I want it! ;)
