We are not amused

Ewwww, LJ, noooooo! How do I get the old friends page back? I want to actually be able to _read_ the entries, not have half my screen taken up by that stupid sidebar bs.

humm i managed to keep the old layout.....have you figured out how to switch it back?

Nope, the little "settings" tab takes me to the "edit journal style" page, where the only thing I can do to my Feed is change the background image or color. Grr.

Mine hasn't changed, I'm guessing because I kept the old layout before? IDK. I wish I knew how to fix this.

Does it say feed or friends in the URL? If it says feed and you change that to friends, it should go back to the old way.

If you want to keep the old layout, go to your profile page. Next to POST NEW ENTRY there is a question mark in a thought bubble. Press that one and then press SWITCH BACK TO OLD VERSION. Hope that helps :)

lol it made my profile normal again, but now my friends page/feed is another thing entirely! *facepalm*

At least it's easier to read now without the sidebar crap. Thank you. :D

Haha, glad to be of help :)

I wonder if you have been switched over to the new friends *feed* (different from the friends page) by default, and it is therefore everything is wrong. I tried to find at simple solution to switch it back, but failed. Perhaps there is something somewhere here that could help: :)

The only thing I could find was this:

-- This URL (http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/friends) will continue to show your current Friends page style.

-- This URL (http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/feed) will show the new redesigned Friends feed style.

/feed and /friends give me exactly the same thing. grr.

Hmm apparently it's a Firefox thing. Guess I just have to wait for them to fix that bug, then. *pouts*
