New LJ Layout

[carmen_lj]

LJ's going to be switching the default navigation thing tomorrow to a new one called Horizon (post about it here, to anyone not logged into LJ. It's quite similar to Xcolibur (however they spelt it, ahem) but feels a bit cleaner to me.

But the best bit is that I can find things now. I switched over about a half hour ago and started using the tracking thing again (aka Stalking Made Easy) and now I love it cause the message centre's so accessible (I think maybe this is a thing that's just on permanent accounts just now, but they're releasing it to everyone in the next couple of weeks.) So many times there's been busy discussion going on, and I miss something or spend ages looking through threads I've already read, and now it tells me about new comments in a little menu thing, and I am a bit in love with it.

And the new layout has other Useful Numbers! Like how many user icons I'm using, and it's just little things like that that I find really helpful, and am quite happy about. And it's now easy to find the community invites thing which I spent forever having to look for every time I needed to use it before, yes. This finding of things is good.

And I maked a new Romana icon, cause she was looking a tad serious in the last one, yes.

I'm finding it quite hard to navigate from some pages to others without going back to my own page, wot I understand. I expect I'll get used to it, whereupon they'll change it again.

Aye, I'm finding some flicking back and forth, but my sheer joy of knowing where all the things are has killed any irritation.

It is a beautiful icon!

I so didn't use Icon Making as a flimsy excuse for watching City o Death again.

*kisses your icon*

She does make me doubt my sexuality sometimes...

[ladyvivien.livejournal.com]

She looks just like my ex, actually. And sounds like her. Which makes fancying her SO WRONG. Incidentally, you make the best Romana icons ever *smooches*

The betanav eats the tops of pages in my browser. :-(

Woe! :(

Yell at them, yes. Tut. (Are they not supposed to check stuff like, does it work on different browsers and screen resolutions bf they stop calling it a beta thing?)

[spiralsheep.livejournal.com]

I don't think there're enough paying customers who use Safari on my screen res for lj to care. I can live with xcolibur anyway as I don't have all those fancy paid account options cluttering up my layout. ;-)

*is afraid of change*

Although the tracking thing sounds very interesting.

It was possibly a mistake to put it on on the petition thread at T&C though.

How does it work then?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Click a button and all the replies made to a post go to a wee message box on LJ, yes.
