Oh yeah, I heard. D: And I saw the post which showed the updates they're planning for the entire site... which will make it look like something akin to the current comment page.

As it is I'm already using Stylish to make the LJ background grey and the font Tahoma instead of Arial so I can handle looking at communities without giving myself a headache, but I still have to tab out when expanding comments because the swirling animation makes me sick. (And the lack of thread/parent? Ridiculous.)
