Note: The comment page redesign does not affect customized comment pages in S2, which can be enabled or disabled at http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml. We are also planning to create a new S2 commenting style which will appear & function in the same way as the old site scheme commenting page to be included in the near future.

Yay?

I'm not even sure I can institute that or how, as it all confuses me. But I'll deal somehow.

Oh! Apparently I have to switch to S2, which would mean losing my layout but I guess I'll just have to live with that. Not messing with it tonight though, I'm tired.

i can haz subject line???!!!

[zimon66]

OMGs, guess I've got a S2.

Well, it kind of works. There's an actual subject line to pre-post in. My drop down for icons hasn't changed.

Those of us who crank out our own layouts salute you. :)

I'm so damn grateful for still having a thread button. The new comments on other journals only have "expand", which is totally useless for reading a thread.

[elvenjewel2012.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's a bit of functionality they probably should have left in. :(

Hi! I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that people were saying nice things about you.

Please feel free to stop by and read the comments, add your love to others, or spread the word to your friends. You might want to track your thread so you’ll know when new comments come in for you as this continues to grow. Help spread the word and let your friends know about the post too. The more love the more fun we’ll have!

Blessings,
Shadow

Ah, I couldn't figure out what was wrong because I do have an S2 layout and nothing had changed for me. I see what the beef is now.

Try this layout. It's a work around to the LJ mess.

Just as a warning, some people heard that more changes will be coming, including bigger buttons and large fonts. Basically this guy wants LJ to look like facebook.

Yeah, heard about it :(

Been with LJ since October 2002. Stuck with them thru all kinds of jazz, always certain everything would work ok.

This is the first time I'm struggling to keep a positive outlook. Made a DW account. Swore in the past I never would have anything to do with that place - now I feel dirty.

There are a few posts about him laughing at 'Oh look the Americans are swearing looks like I can learn more of their words' earlier.

[zimon66]

Joke's on him.

I've done my part commenting in both lj-releases and news. Implied he maybe a pro-government/Putin supporter and demanded he should resign from LJ.

Don't know if it'll help any, but makes me feel a little better.
