fandomsecrets | (no subject)

Since people pointed out Saturday isn't enough time to see what LJ is doing with this or about this, moved the potential moving date to New Years' - 1/1/2012.

[Poll #1805208]

The other poll is closed and this one will be open until Dec 31st! You can edit your vote by going here.

As a note, I'm completely willing to either stay or move. Updating the comm is easy enough for me either way.

1 - It's not only about subject lines. Others have written up potential problems better than I could:

2 - For those worried about possibly needing to make DW accounts to comment, if a move happens: you don't need one! OpenID will let you comment as an LJ user (in the same way Facebook users can comment on LJ).

3 - For those worried about missing updates: I can crosspost to LJ to let you know a post is up (with a handy link over to it), I don't mind that (it's like a minute of extra work, no problem) - if the DW move happens though, the comments would be over there.

4 - Apparently, this is what we're getting next year.

5 - I'm aware workarounds are available - but those (or so I hear?) won't stay available for long. Also, those layouts have their own bugs. If someone can actually supply me with workable code that doesn't make long threads unreadable to change the layout, I'll give it a try.

raemia has an FAQ up here: http://raemia.livejournal.com/18347.html

7 - Tried the LJ workaround, give me your thoughts? Also contains links to what FS would look like on DW. Feedback on either/both?

the more I use the new system, the less problems I have with it

i think the kneejerk "zomg its change rarrr" is just hysteria

people need to learn to chill and adjust before responding

I agree. I didn't like it in the very beginning but I'm slowly getting adjusted and it's not so bad. I do even like part of it.

not really. there are legitimate reasons why people may not want it.

Thanks for saying that. Right now I'm almost getting as stressed out by people accusing me of "hysteria" as I am by the actual change, to be honest.

Try not to be so hysterical then.

+1 It's such a simple solution, too.

I know. Apparently too simple.

Are you a complete idiot, or is that just a "funny" front for when you're posting anonymously?

LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY, people who are visually impaired or prone to migraines are pretty much screwed by this new layout. How is that being hysterical in shape or form?

Try not to be so hysterical then!
