Looks like the latest LiveJournal barfage isn't just in the temporary V-Day changes. No more titles for me or for anyone else on the Lynx scheme until they fix it.* No more current music, either, but that bothers me less because I almost never used that one.

Bummer, 'cause after nearly three weeks the other problem had just in the last couple of days gone away.

(Why yes, I DO think they're trying to force the Lynx folks to change. It's either that or a level of carelessness/cluelessness that elevates them to Waste Of Oxygen status, and I'd prefer to think they're merely rude.)

One of the myriad items that helped me and [livejournal.com profile] deyo see that Charitableway was on the way out, before they folded, was that they wouldn't test their product in anything but IE, because "no one uses anything else." No AOL, no Netscape (pre-Firefox), just IE.

I imagine it didn't hurt that the CTO and CEO had both come in from MS.

And of course IE hasn't even been standards-compliant, so the more you cater to it, the more you drift away from good web design. Ken once had to devote an entire section of a talk to workarounds so standard css stuff would work in IE.

I refuse to get involved with any html too futzy to hand-code, but I suppose that's not an option for everyone...
