quick style question

[waider]

Dear Readership,

do any of you have an lj style - either stock or self-made - that copes well with people posting wide stuff to their journals, i.e. you don't end up having to scroll your friends page right to read EVERY SINGLE ENTRY for a couple of days?

Dear Irritated,

I think this is why they have lj-cut. People who post wide stuff without cut tags may reasonably be called something similar to "lj cut".

HTH,

Doesn't work. People of large monitors who don't even realize this, (or even just larger than mine, the kitchen laptop is 800x600.)

That was kinda my point. If people aren't aware that their posts are making life more difficult for other users, then the problem should be pointed out to them. Initially, this should be done politely; for repeated treatments, well, it depends on how irritating you find the wide posts, and whether you enjoy being snarky...

Yes, but telling people to use an lj cut courts disasters like this.

True. However, mocking the afflicted has been a popular pastime for millennia...
