If you:
* Experienced a mild photosensitive reaction to the changes in the last code push (however you define 'mild');
* Do not currently have any userstyle or custom CSS applied to dreamwidth.org and did not have a reaction to the version of the entry/comment page that was live on the site before the code push;
* Are technically comfortable installing and/or using Stylus/Stylish userscripts;
* Are willing to possibly get a headache For Science if our changes didn't work (and then disable things as soon as you realize you are, of course):
-- then please chime in here! We have a few things we'd like to A/B test with a wider pool of people who are more susceptible to some of the triggers in the last set of changes than our photosensitive alpha testers are, but we don't want to put things in front of people who had the more moderate or severe reactions until we have a bit more confidence.

My initial thought with regards to what was causing my PSV was that something was shifted with the margin and padding values that added a slight increase to font spacing. (Mostly because I kept running into a similar thing in my web dev class haha).
When I tweaked my Widescreen styling and added a 90% font size it resolved the issue for me, so I'm pretty solid right now. No further PSV since. :)
I also really do appreciate the work you guys have been putting into this! I understand to some degree just how obnoxiously difficult it is to implement a functional cross-platform cross-browser web design, let alone focusing on accommodating disabilities. It is a lot of effort, and I look forward to seeing how things are once everything is all ironed out!
