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.

Or they're trying to chase everyone to using an S2 style for their comment pages, because I haven't seen any of these issues. Everything looks exactly the same to me as it has since the last major change.

I can see the interface that you're complaining about, when I remove ?style=mine from the comment page, so it's not a browser issue either (on this computer, which is running IE7 and I can't fix that, display problems are often browser issues).

I seem to remember that support for the default comment page was only added back in grudgingly, so TBTP may have decided to update the code for it.

It looks like it was designed by whoever designed the new google sites, and I hate those as well. Yuck.
