Well, LJ has gone and fucked up again.
Dec. 21st, 2011 02:42 pmThis time it's the commenting.
No subject lines. (The guy who did the change doesn't use them, so nobody should have that choice!)
No preview. (No reason given that I can see.)
No "link" button unless you hover (if it works), no "parent" or "thread" links.
No alphabetical icons. (Because in date-added order is so much more intuitive?)
Ugly design, and it zooms up and down when you comment.
Naturally, the news comm is going nuts. Oh, that's another thing - no replies yet from staff.
There is one plus, though. Newly posted comments are now labelled "new comment", so they're easily identified. That's the ONLY good thing I see. New system doesn't even seem to work for many users, and it's all accompanied with a jerkish attitude from the guy who made it.
