In my last entry, I moaned about this. Here's some actual constructive suggestions.
Dear LiveJournal,
Here's how to improve this mess:
1. Move interests up to the top of one of the columns, preferably to the left.
2. Create a new field, called something like 'In Brief'. It could have a word limit of a few hundred, and HTML could be limited to links and formatting. Put it between the columns and the top box; it can then contain warnings, community rules, friends-only announcements, etc.
Then colourbars, quiz results and other long stuff can go in the main bio.
3. Put email addresses and othere contact info higher up, probably in the top box. Replace the current school, which is irrelevant for a lot of people.
4. Bring back the bolding of mutual friends and watched communities on your own info page.
And for a cookie:
5. Add a link to the tags page already! Why should the annoying, useless nudge and gift features be linked, and not the tags?
I think if these changes were made, the number of complaints would drop by about 90%.
