Do any of you remember this post that I made two years ago about a suggested new “friends feed”?
My feedback on the initial beta was a mess of negative thoughts, and looking back on the screenshots, yeah, it was a mess, and I think the userbase had a reason to be worried. I guess our voices have been heard. They have decided to let us keep the old friendslist even with the new site scheme.
However, when I see what they’ve done to the friends feed now two years later. I feel embarrassed by that old post of mine.
I have to express my apologies to the hundreds of strangers who reposted and commented on my post two years ago. I have changed my mind. The friends feed is a great idea. Let’s embrace it and make it our own~!
They’ve put so much work into this and made it a fully functional and beautiful thing. I think it would be a shame if people didn’t bother using it. The new LJ site scheme is very user friendly, functional, and easy on the eyes. It’s in public BETA right now, and I would strongly advise you to try it out and submit as much feedback as possible. That’s the only way for the developers to know what needs fixing, really.
I would also suggest following
But yeah, seriously. If you are currently using an old site scheme, here’s how you switch to the new one:
On the home page or any of the system style pages.
And once you’re using the new scheme, this is how you leave feedback:
Click this icon in the navigation bar when you’re at the page you want to leave feedback for. You can also click this icon to switch back to the old site scheme.
The new friends feed is gorgeous!
