Writer's Block: Bah Humbug Day!

Did you see that LiveJournal changed it style a little bit, last night? The whole area below the posts, with the blue bars that comments appear in, and everything? It looks horrible! Why can't they just leave well-enough alone! They keep changing things, and every time, it looks worse than it did before! I want them to go back to the original notebook style.
(Kidding!)
Okay, this is funny. I saw the new style, and couldn't detect any changes other than visual, so I wrote this, since people are always unhappy with change. And then I read all the other responses to the Writer's Block question. Guess what? People are really pissed off about it. Most of them are pretty vague about it, but a few comments mention real issues that I haven't seen. Over 25% of all Writer's Block rants are about the new style, but less than ten percent of them actually mention the specific problems.
The new crap LiveJournal did to the comment page, and taking away subjects in comments, so you can't find anything, long threads are impossible to read...
Okay, that sounds like a problem. In existing posts, they show the subject lines, but you can no longer create them on new comments. This totally screws the
onemoreword community. The game is dependent on subject lines.
There are also complaints about it showing thumbnails for your userpic in a comment. It seems to be a problem for people, because they don't load quickly. Or at all.
