Well...

So I'm trying out my long neglected Dreamwidth account now, because it is suddenly not fail like this new LJ comment page thing.

I'm an LJ homebody who only gets a few posts a day to read. I evidently missed something here.

I started up a DW account under the same name and added you there in any case. You don't need a code for a few more days to do so.

The new commenting feature is awful, especially if you comment a lot or in threads (like I do). I fear it, so just in case, I started to mirror on my dreamwidth acct (that I never use). I don't plan on running away from LJ anytime soon <3

Ug, I see what you mean. I had one of the styles that was not Moved over yet. Until today apparently. :(

I did some reading after I posted last night, and you may change your mind. Evidently the whole site is getting a makeover in this fashion. If you look at the comments under the rollout of 88 in lj news, you can find a link to the translated post about it with links to the new look. It's essentially being geared towards a more facebook style.

The head of LJ Russia has basically been a snarky dick and has(I think out of sheer spite), said he'd consider fixing everything but the comment subject bars. Reading some of what he's said is turning my stomach. I'll probably never delete my LJ, but man is this debacle and the way it is being handled making me glad there's another option.
