LJ weirdness

[cellio]

It appears that LJ has changed its post-comments interface a bit; it now re-renders the page with a comment form inserted into the thread. That's nifty, except that it doesn't always work. I'm not sure why, in the same entry, I was able to post a reply to one comment but not to another. It worked in IE but not Mozilla, so I upgraded to Mozilla 1.6 and it still doesn't work. This could rapidly become annoying.

Update: the problem is now fixed; it was an error in their javascript that triggered on comment subjects containing apostrophes. Also, as of 6/15/04 9PM, I note that you can now select a userpic and preview a comment using the new interface. Yay! The userpic thing was my last barrier to using this new interface (which I prefer) all the time.

I'm using Mozilla on linux, and it seems to work fine for me. Actually I kind of like this. One less page to load.

It's working for me, for a totally different reason: I'm using the "old" styles, so the posting behavior hasn't changed at all, I think. (I'm displaying both my journal and other entries in the "old" style (Dystopia), and so nothing has changed.

I'm using old (S1) styles too, so that's not it.

Hmm... Well, my browser of choice is iCab (I'm using 2.9.6 for OS X). I haven't tried the test message, yet.

I like the idea (and if it offered userpic selection by default, rather than via extra links, it'd be perfect for me). I don't know why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
