I'm getting really tired of my Friends page being seriously screwed up by badly-formatted entries people make. Today I'm guessing it's quiz results. An entry I can't see makes everything below itself almost completely unreadable.

Friends filters work, but to use them I have to find out who the problem child is. This is particularly difficult to narrow down when multiple people have the same problem; searching the solution space becomes slow! The slowness is aggravated by LJ's "optimization" on Friends page loading, such that I have to hit "reload" to get actual results from each experiment. (I wasted a lot of time getting nonsensical and conflicting results before I learned this.)

Today two or three iterations with existing friends groups showed me a subgroup of ten people I could remove just to get a viewable page. I re-added them one by one, a process taking about fifteen minutes with all the clicking around and reloading, and came up with two people filtered out.

*sigh* And I wonder why LJ takes up so much of my time.

I've seen that too, from time to time, though it's not what hit me today. At least that one is easy to filter because I can SEE what did it! 8-D
