New Interface?

It must just be luck with the combination of themes/LJ settings I use, but I can see very little change on any of my pages with this latest *cough* user interface change from LJ. Did they abandon it already? I can't say I'm massively surprised to hear them still clamouring so desperately mind, as they once again attempt to remain relevant in a world where people have largely abandoned them. Myspace is over in the corner there.

At the moment, the only way I even knew anything had changed was because after 10 years they've suddenly decided my password is weak and at risk of compromise, so now insist on telling me every time Semagic logs in! :x

I dunno I have message with link at the top of my friends feed that say "you are using the old version of the Friends page - switch to the new one"

I don't even have that link! It's possible it's not been carried through to all customised themes.

The impression I was getting from reading mind is that a lot of people have already had the UI changes pushed through automatically without opting in to that beta test link anyway.

My whole thing must just be a few days behind at the moment, but I presume they'll get everyone eventually!

As far as I can tell, the change is being phased in. I'm at the stage where I get pestered to change over, but don't (yet?) have to. Some other people, like you, haven't got to that point yet. On the other hand, I have been getting the complaint about my password. I did read somewhere or other that this was a bug and that even changing it to something ridiculously secure would still throw up the message.

I presume it's something to do with what theme you're using. Like you, I don't see that switch link at all, though apparently you do see the new style if you're logged out.

Thankfully, it seems major points of contention that some are raising are indeed going to be addressed, such as an option to disable infinite scrolling, which apparently causes some systems a measure of indigestion.
