Because I am god damn nosey!!

[ash48]

I was switching between view in my style and original style and became curious about what others did in regards to this and other stuff on LJ. I know I'm being nosey but I wondered if what I did was similar to you guys.


[Poll #1618224]

My answers: I view in "my style", I can't get out of the habit of html (even though rich text looks easier) and I visit LJ as often as I can. Sad but true. (though not so sad because the place makes me happy). :D Now... your turn.



Also. Welcome to new friends. Not sure what I did recently to garner the friendings but thanks. :D Drop me a line and say hi if you'd like me to friend you back. <33

Technically I read a lot of stuff in "my style" because I read straight from my Reading List page. In fact, on DW I don't even need to click on a link to open the lj-cuts because I can just open selected ones. So I'd say 80% of what I read or skim is done in my style.

The major exception is fic and I find I usually have to format=light those to be able to read them. I don't know what the obsession is that people have these days with grey font. It makes stuff on a white background barely readable, even at the largest font.

Oh you have a Reading List page? Is like a memory or separate tab or something? I'd love a way of keep track of the stuff I want to read. I keep them all in memories

And there's a format=light?? *head shake* I know very little it would seem. I usually zoom in on any fic I want to read and it's in my style so I can read comfortably in a font and colour that I now and like.

Thank for the input.

Sorry, a "Reading List" is what it's called over on DW -- I think most people call it a "Friends page" here. I'll open tabs if it's something I'm going to read later, which is most often fic as I'll reply to general posts while I'm reading. I like seeing people's differing LJ layouts but unfortunately free choice means that people make a lot of awful ones when it comes to readability. I don't understand how they're able to use their own account!

Putting a "?format=light" command at the end of any LJ address will convert it to the default view for LJ, which is simple black on white. I'm guessing that early on in LJ's development they realized people needed to be able to work around all the visitor unfriendly formatting choices.
