pianogurl330: Swift eating ice cream from a cone (LJ <3)
So, after nearly a decade at this site, LJ finally does something that makes me actually rage. No popcorn and laughing as the masses storm to news posts complaining, this time I'm actually worried.

A while back I was invited to help out with BETA testing new LJ services (I got this invite via [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases).

They have just announced BETA testing of a new friendslist.

LJ is planning on redoing everyone's friendslists in the style of the new comment page and update page. They want to copy tumblr and make your friendslist into a dashboard-like system page (infinite scrolling and all). It's also been renamed to "feed" (this I don't mind too much, though). In fact the whole dashboard idea with infinite scrolling wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that everyone will be locked to one specific layout. The system style comment pages are bad enough, but now I'll have to strain my eyes reading my flist? That defeats the purpose of this entire site. The font, use of whitespace, oversized boxes and UI elements ... all contribute to making the page difficult to read, on a site where all you do is read. Aaaah. Even just the possibility of adjusting the font (style and size) would make this suggestion easier to swallow, but it's still not something I'd want for my journal. It would not improve my LJ experience in any way (in fact it would most likely make my daily LJ activities more time consuming).

Now, I wasn't able to make the BETA page display my own friendslist, so I apologise to the random users who are featured in the screenshot, but to give everyone an idea, the below image shows you what your friendslist probably will look like in a couple of months.


(Click for big)


I never switched over from Dystopia, so that adds to the weirdness. You're going to have to picture this with the standard LiveJournal drop down navigation + no blue sidebar to the left. Click the screenshots for bigger versions.

Top of page with links to journal, archive, profile


Example of text heavy post as displayed on friendslist


New buttons to the right replace the navigation strip. One tab for filters


One tab for Archive/Calendar, you can filter your feed to display posts from one specific date. These buttons follow along as you scroll down the page (infinite scrolling).



All friendslists will look the same.

Snippet from the locked post at [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases:
The friends page has been redesigned as a system page for all users, and is now available for Beta testers. There is a link at the top of your friends page allowing you to switch between the new and old versions, and will later go into public beta testing. You can switch back and forth between both versions throughout beta testing.

PUBLIC POST AT [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases ABOUT THE NEW FRIENDSLIST: http://lj-releases.livejournal.com/79480.html.

You can also see the proposed changes for yourself by enabling the BETA on your own journal (instructions from [livejournal.com profile] ruljautonews):
It's trivially easy to test beta features.
1) Go to [livejournal.com profile] lj_ru_beta and request to join.
2) Wait to get confirmation that you've been accepted into the community (this could take a few hours.)
3) Go to this page and choose Go To under Beta.
4) That's it, you're now testing the beta release. All site-scheme pages should now display a big "BETA BETA BETA BETA BETA BETA" in yellow letters across the top.
5) You could make comments in the [livejournal.com profile] lj_ru_beta post, but if you do please keep this in mind: the majority of commenters there don't speak English and if they do it's not their primary language. Machine translation of Russian is lousy. "My hovercraft is full of eels" lousy. While you can engage in basic dialogue and get a feel for what the other person is saying, don't get too hung up on anyone's phrasing.

You can easily switch back to the old version.

Make sure you let LJ know what you think of these proposed changes, I can't be the only one who thinks this is a horrible idea.

ETA: It's nice to see that I'm not the only one worried about the proposed changes, but please direct your feedback through the proper channels. This is a private journal, I have no affiliation with LJ. Please also be respectful when addressing the LJ staff. They are just doing their jobs. Thanks!

ꨄ︎“She was the heir of ash and fire, and she would bow to no one.”― Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
ꨄ︎“In the meantime, I hope you will find your place, wherever you are. Even in the silence, I hope you will find the words you need to share."―Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals
ꨄ︎“It takes courage to let down your armor, to welcome people to see you as you are. Sometimes I feel the same as you: I can’t risk having people behold me as I truly am. But there’s also a small voice in the back of my mind, a voice that tells me, “You will miss so much by being so guarded.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals
ꨄ︎“But I think there is a magical link between you and me. A bond that not even distance can break.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals
ꨄ︎“My favorite season is autumn, because my mum and I both believed that’s the only time when magic can be tasted in the air.”― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

ꨄ︎“Write me a story where there is no ending, Kitt. Write to me and fill my empty spaces.”―Rebecca Ross, Ruthless Vows
ꨄ︎“I don’t think you realize how strong you are, because sometimes strength isn’t swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it’s found in quiet, gentle places. The way you hold someone’s hand as they grieve. The way you listen to others. The way you show up, day after day, even when you are weary or afraid or simply uncertain. That is strength, and I see it in you.”― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals
ꨄ︎“Their souls weren’t mirrors but complements, constellations that burned side by side.”― Rebecca Ross, Ruthless Vows
ꨄ︎“Keep writing. You will find the words you need to share. They are already within you, even in the shadows, hiding like jewels. —C.”― Rebecca Ross, Ruthless Vows
ꨄ︎“Libraries were full of ideas—perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass
ꨄ︎“Let’s go rattle the stars.”― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows
ꨄ︎“You could rattle the stars," she whispered. "You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.”― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass
ꨄ︎“No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.”― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass
ꨄ︎“We all bear scars, Dorian. Mine just happen to be more visible than most.”― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass
ꨄ︎“You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love.”― Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
ꨄ︎“She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.”― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows
ꨄ︎"And heard, so soft it was as if she dreamed it, a woman's voice whispering, Why are you crying, Fireheart?...
"Because I am lost," she whispered onto the earth. "And I do not know the way.”― Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
ꨄ︎“Even when this world is a forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will always love you.”― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms
ꨄ︎“I claim you, Aelin. To whatever end.”― Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
ꨄ︎“I like music," she said slowly, "because when I hear it, I . . . I lose myself within myself, if that makes any sense. I become empty and full all at once, and I can feel the whole earth roiling around me. When I play. I'm not . . . for once, I'm not destroying, I'm creating.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass
ꨄ︎“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom …”― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
ꨄ︎"You do not fear. You do not falter. You do not yield."- Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
ꨄ︎“Live, Manon. Live.”― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
ꨄ︎“To whatever end?” she breathed. Rowan followed her, as he had his entire life, long before they had ever met, before their souls had sparked into existence. “To whatever end, Fireheart.”― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
ꨄ︎"I am here. I am with you."- Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
ꨄ︎“We are the thirteen. From now until darkness claims us.”― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

ꨄ︎“Manon rose in the saddle, sliding a leg under her, body tensing to make the jump ahead. And she said to Abraxos, touching his spin, "I love you."
It was the only thing that mattered in the end. The only thing that mattered now.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
ꨄ︎“To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys." Rhys clinked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen— and the dreams that are answered.”― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Thank you for finding her for me.”― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

ꨄ︎“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you.”― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin
