New layout rant
6 years ago
General
Oh my god... I really hate it when website change their style to be "more mobile friendly" because I've never had an issue on my phone on any website. In fact, I spend most of my time on website on my phone battling it to request "desktop view/version" because the mobile one is to clunky, takes up too much space, slow and no idea where anything is!
I am one of those people who had the light style for FA before; It was a lot brighter and looked a hell of a lot better (really difficult to read people's profiles though if they used light colours).
But this style... Oh my god... STOP MAKING EVERYTHING "MOBILE FRIENDLY" because it then means the desktops now have everything streched across the screen wasting so much space!
Everything had a nice boarder before; everything was nicely spaced; now everything is in modular boxes that resize and refit to tiny screens but no longer satisfy a desktop!
...maybe I'm just getting old... I am a so-called GenZ but I act more like a GenY; growing up with desktop computers and not having a proper smartphone for years until 3-4 years ago when I finally got one for the camera. I now use my phone for a lot of things but never had an issue with websites... SO PLEASE STOP MAKING WEBSITES BETTER FOR PHONES BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO BE BETTER!
The is no point me switching to the old version as they will retire it regardless meaning everyone will eventually have to use the new one; I may as well get used to it. (If anything; FA should spend more money on keeping the servers running to faffing about with changing the look of the website).
Ok... rant over...
I didn't want to make a new journal before the end of the year; but this change made me do it.
Anyhow... Happy New Year Everyone!
Let's hope 2020 and the decade to follow will be a good one!

The old layout was trash.
Nothing lost nothing gained really lol
I hate this so much.
I tried the other sub setting, but all it did was make some zones slightly tinted shade of dark grey. Pass.
