People!

Learn about the lj-cut. It's in the FAQ. It's your friend. One, small quiz is about as much as should be visible on your main page at any one time. Long surveys, big pictures, more than one quiz? HIDE THEM IN A FRIGGIN' CUT.

Really, it's bad enough when people don't cut pictures that only they have. I guarantee, any quiz you post, you're not the first. Nobody wants to see the same quiz 20 times on their friends page.

No, I'm not going to force you to change. I won't even keep ranting about it. But I periodically feel the need to ask people to start cutting their stuff.

Respectfully, you didn't ask anyone to use a cut on this post. You told them to, you know?

I've seen a few people complain about this every once in a while and I don't get what the big deal is.

First of all, the cut is not aesthetically pleasing at all and maybe they don't wanna use it on their journal because they think it looks ugly. (I think it looks ugly, it really messes with my sense of visual balance, but I use it.) Then there's that whole "it's their journal" thing. Also, isn't there a way to totally manipulate your friends page to either not show picture or show pictures only within certain parameters? I may be wrong, I don't use it, but I thought you could do that on your friends page.

I admit that I sometimes gets annoyed by very large pictures, but again, I feel it's their journal and they can do what they want with it, so I either use adblock on it (through Firefox) or I deal.

Not trying to come off bitchy and sorry if I do, I'm just curious about why this a big deal because I've seen people complain about it before.

Well, it's a long problem. HTML doesn't work with RichText. So that means you have to have a few windows up.

I find it frustrating because I get sick of scrolling past stuff multiple times as I keep checking and rechecking my friends page. If it's cut, it takes a lot less scrolling time.

I try to use cuts, but sometimes I forget. Forgive me! ;_;

Preach it, Sister! I love the lj-cut feature - even when I'm making long, meaningful posts.
