Sometimes the reason LJ suddenly looks really strange and won't let you change to a different less-strange style and also no one seems to be posting is YOU ARE LOGGED OUT.
Hahaha, I do this on AO3 about once a month - "Whoa, why are all the colours wrong? Wait, is the top of the page subtly different? WHO TOOK AWAY THE LATER AND BOOKMARK BUTTONS THAT IS SO STUPID I CAN'T BELIEV- oh, yeah, I didn't login!" *facepalming mightily*
And see with LiveJournal it seems TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE that they would just change the friends page view and not let you change it back! So I was just like "ugh this is the worst" but then accepted it. *g*
It would. :D I think we're all ready to believe the worst of LJ when it comes to stupid decisions, both design-related and otherwise... *wry* Though Tumblr users seem to have it even worse, from what I can tell!
