(no subject)

[case]

The new commenting system on LJ sucks, I think we can all agree (and all the other prospective design changes seem to be speeding it down the path of no return). Knowing LJ, it's probably not going to change no matter how much anybody complains, and as this comm is heavily based on user comments, it's probably time to consider moving. Dreamwidth is the closest to LJ's old format and has a large fandom base, and seems the best alternative for now.

So -

[Poll #1804842]

Other thoughts?

(As a note, I'm completely willing to either stay or move. Updating the comm is easy enough for me either way.)

ETA - It's not only about subject lines. Others have written up potential problems better than I could:

ETA 4 - http://lj-releases.livejournal.com/71858.html?thread=7952050#t7952050

ETA 2 - For those worried about possibly needing to make DW accounts to comment, if a move happens: you don't need one! OpenID will let you comment as an LJ user (in the same way Facebook users can comment on LJ).

ETA 3 - For those worried about missing updates: I can crosspost to LJ to let you know a post is up, I don't mind that (it's like a minute of extra work, no problem) - if the DW move happens though, the comments would be over there.

ETA 5 - Apparently, this is what we're getting next year.

uh, delicious is a steaming mess right now, what are you talking about?

Well, I left the site for a while because everything I used was gone, but when I went back all of my bookmarks and tags were restored, I had tag bundles again, my RSS feeds were back and several other functionalities people had previously reported as missing and which I had used frequently had been restored again - it appeared for me as it had before, with some aesthetic differences.

I apologise if I caused offence :\ and if you've been using things different to me and still haven't had your services restored to normal.

Delicious has caused offence, not you :D

search still doesn't work for me, that's the big thing that pisses me off. The second thing is that they broke a really common way of automatically adding tags, which my greasemonkey script happened to use.
