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.

If it renders correctly enough for you to get the "click here for more options" link, that takes you to the old-style long form for comments (or did for me when I ran into it, at least.)

Hm. It just worked for me (or lat least seemed to), in firefox (based on an older mozilla). I'm tempted to say "make sure javascript is turned on and you haven't restricted what javascript can do too much" — but then again there's those lovely little javascript wormlets going around....
