WHOA WHAT
BITSY WHAT
POSTING TO LJ WHAT
Okay I'm only posting to ask for one thing, and I'm hoping somebody has seen a link, or a technical explanation, or something somewhere that can help me.
Because see this new comment system? Has rendered many, many posts of mine totally unreadable. TOTALLY. Unreadable.
See there's this thing that Arella and I do, where we just go. And write. For many thousands of comments. Yes you heard me right. Many THOUSANDS of comments. We don't do separate posts for all our setups. We do one post, and then start a new comment thread for new scenes. Right, fine and dandy.
One of our posts has over 5000 comments on it.
Yeah.
So when I go and hit "expand" which LJ in its infinite wisdom has shoved up our collective ass like so many anal beads, it doesn't. Expand, that is. Or if it does, it smooshes the entire comment into the far right side of my browser screen, one letter at a time, straight down. And since I can't read hieroglyphics, this is fucking horrible and, as mentioned above, unreadable.
I know that DW allows me to import posts, but I'm still not sure about the comments. And I don't want to overload their shit with my ridiculous number of comments anyway lol.
Does anybody have any suggestions how to get the old comment system back, just long enough for me to copy pasta that shit into a word document? Or, failing that, some other way to get that data? Anything, please. (Aside from LJ Book, it doesn't work when there are that many comments in a post, I've tried already.)
HAHAHAH
NEVERMIND
THE IMPORT FEATURE WORKS
NO ICONS SURE
BUT IT'S READABLE
Seriously anybody reading this, screw LJ and get to DW. It's objectively better. FLEE. RUN AWAY.
