wanky opinion

I actually really like the new user info.

*sigh* It hurts my eyes to look at. And not just because I don't like the design as much as the old one. It's something about the font that's doing that. Ow ow ow.

But I'm glad at least one person I know likes it. ^^ Maybe it's not as bad as I think it is.

Eh? I don't think the font's different.

I think it'll take getting used to it, for most. It's not like the previous one was pretty either. They're both kinda functional, and the new one is slightly more functional.

Yeah, that's my position too.
We can be heretic together.

The font has finer lines, and the color is brighter.

wow, I don't know how you see that. It looks like the exact same tahoma than in all my posts and comments to me.

When I look in my profile at communities I belong to vs communities I watch, the ones I watch are in bold. As compared to how it was, what's bold now is only slightly thicker than what used to be "normal."

Oh, so that's it. Thanks! I knew it was different, but I didn't know how. I really think that LJ should have tested the page with different computers and settings...I really can't look at it the way it is now. It's not as if I've got any interesting settings, either. (They did not do the research...)

*nods*

On some computers, the color change will be barely noticable, if at all (on my normal work computer, the color settings are pretty dark, so I doubt I'll notice it, bt this computer's setting ae bright nough that it's hard to look at. On my laptop and home computer, I suspect it'll be somewhere in between.

I think it's possible to set to a new default text if you want.

Hmm, thanks, I'll look into that and see if it works. I think it's on Times New Roman now. I'm not sure what LJ's done to it to make it suddenly ugly...

Ah. I just noticed one of the comments below. It's probably the bright blue/white that's doing it. Sigh. But maybe it'd still look better with a different default text.
