(no subject)

[case]

Since people pointed out Saturday isn't enough time to see what LJ is doing with this or about this, moved the potential moving date to New Years' - 1/1/2012.

[Poll #1805208]

The other poll is closed and this one will be open until Dec 31st! You can edit your vote by going here.

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



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

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).

3 - For those worried about missing updates: I can crosspost to LJ to let you know a post is up (with a handy link over to it), 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.

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

5 - I'm aware workarounds are available - but those (or so I hear?) won't stay available for long. Also, those layouts have their own bugs. If someone can actually supply me with workable code that doesn't make long threads unreadable to change the layout, I'll give it a try.

6 - raemia has an FAQ up here: http://raemia.livejournal.com/18347.html


7 - Tried the LJ workaround, give me your thoughts? Also contains links to what FS would look like on DW. Feedback on either/both?

Today's post is up below!

Comments

[case]

That still has this problem, though:

-There is a known issue with LJ that when a thread reaches a certain LENGTH it will break the comments beyond that final straw comment. Any comments or threads made after that comment will NOT be viewable. People can still COMMENT to those threads through their email notifs, but no one will be able to see the comments in the entry itself. However seeing as the other option is a new default style that people can't use at all it might not be too bad of a trade off. If your game/comms/whatever don't get that many super long threads you will be safe.

I don't think that'd work for FS...

That's an issue on all layouts however, including this Georgia workaround. I don't know the exact length a thread has to go but it's quite long, I don't think I've seen a thread on F!S get quite that long.

Sorry posted before I finished what I meant to say: I don't think I've seen a thread on F!S get quite that long. At least not that often.

Re: S/A

The post with Georgia one said it had it fixed, not sure if it's true...

Re: S/A

[(Anonymous)]

I just went and tested it on a entry with this issue and it's not fixed unfortunately...

Re: S/A

[case]

Hmm, seems like most people want it back to the original anyway, I think I'll change it back after trying it out in the post today (unless a whole bunch of new people really want it to stay).

Re: S/A

[(Anonymous)]

Either way, thanks for your hard work! :)

Re: S/A

[case]

Ffff, thanks. Just trying to figure out the best way to go about all this!
