Argh, livejournal, what the FUCK did you just do to my style and settings? My page looks good, my friends page looks fine, but any individual entry looks NOTHING like what it should!

Never mind, fengi's comment below gave me the info.

My feedback to them:

As you may recall, a number of people with visual impairments and migraines informed you that the previous-new-style entry pages had too much white space and were difficult to read.

Now, there is even more white space, and the text is a sans-serif font in grey. This is not actually an improvement, and continues to make individual entry pages difficult to read.

In addition, hiding the "LJ feedback/switch back" box in an *unmarked empty area of the header bar* is an idiotic move -- the only reason I am able to submit this comment is because someone else submitted a report ticket and told us where to click.

This is not user-friendly design!!

Ugh. LJ, please stop trying to "improve" things, and listen to your customer base! :(

Apparently there's supposed to be an icon there to let you "temporarily, until the beta is complete" switch back to the previous style and the fact that it's empty is an error.

And: I got prompted to give feedback (and was shown a "switch back now!" button) when I went to customise my journal from the "customisation" options. You know, like "change your name" or "change your journal colours"

I didn't get the prompt from the Customize page -- I think it's yet another insufficiently-thought-out rollout.
