They changed the style for the individual-entry pages. The big thing everyone is complaining about is the new comment interface; that's butt-ugly too, but my real problem is that they shrank the font for everything. Browser zoom zooms the whole page (hello horizontal scrolling) and just isn't practical -- if I set a higher zoom for LJ it'll affect all my pages and things like profiles and help requests will be affected too. Ditto for Stylish; I don't know how to have it affect all and only individual entries.

Assuming that they're going to punt on my request to put it back (they usually punt on accessibility requests in my experience), could anyone reading this possibly, pretty please, write me a Greasemonkey script (or Stylish script, if you can figure out how) to put it back the way it was, or suggest some other browser customization that'll do it? Or an LJ style? (They claim they'll offer one in the future, but who knows how long?) I still have some old-style LJ pages in browser tabs so I'll harvest the source for one of them.

Big accessibility fail, LJ! Stop with the assumption that everybody in the world has 20/20 vision please.

This is so strange: when I look at this page of comments via Cellio, it's stepped. But when I look at a preview of the styles you recommend, and all the others, actually, none of them are stepped. No clue whether there's something on my machine that's making it all weird, or something else.

I really appreciate the time you've put into this; thank you.

That's really odd. I see you have a post about this on your journal, so I'll start a comment thread there so as not to keep cluttering [livejournal.com profile] cellio's box with notifs.

No problem and I'm glad it's helpful! I just wish they hadn't changed things so that we HAD to scramble to find new styles - a warning would have been nice. *sigh*
