Another Icon-Appropriate Post

So, the new profile pages have gone live, if you weren't paying attention. Let's see how the design process went:

• First beta announcement in lj_design: ~650 comments, mostly helpful feedback.
• Round 2 of the testing process: ~750 comments, mostly helpful feedback.
• Final Round of the testing process: ~500 comments, mostly helpful feedback.
• Announcement that the profile goes live: 4,800+ comments, all of them bitching and wailing that there was no announcement, no testing, "OMG YOU SUCK, LJ!", "DO NOT WANT", etc.

GOOD GOD, PEOPLE. It's ONE page. Now there's evidently a petition. Because those always work so well. Maybe there should be a Facebook group, too.
Speaking of whom, Facebook, Hotmail, and Yahoo! all change their sites, and I'm sure they don't give a crap how many people bitch about it. Why do LJ users believe NOTHING SHOULD EVER EVER CHANGE?

There is a petition, and a community to changeitback and all sorts of stuff.

I personally don't like it, but I'm not to the DO NOT WANT stage just yet. They put up a new post in the design thing asking for WHAT is wrong and so I left a comment specifying why I didn't like it.

With Picture! (http://community.livejournal.com/lj_design/17908.html?thread=4781556#t4781556)

The other thing? They said they were going to talk about userpics and then they did not! :( I'm sure if they had upped the pics and stuff it would've soften'd the blow that this thing made.

Good for you for leaving a constructive (and illustrative) comment. I sincerely hope it isn't lost with the rest of the chaff.

Again, I don't know anything about the userpic thing.
