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.

Comments

Out of curiosity, could you try it on this comment? For some reason, that specific comment won't accept a reply, though others on http://www.livejournal.com/users/cellio/316909.html">that same entry do. (Actually, I just noticed that the followups from caryabend and me also won't accept comments, though the entry to which Cary replied does, and other comments from Cary do.)
