Fannish Browsing Tools, Part 2

[gnatkip]

I don't know if this is a good time to make this post, but then I don't know when IS a good time, what with all the hell and all the handbaskets. It's a list of some bells and whistles for LJ, LJ clones, and other fannish places. See also Part OneI use some of these a lot; some not at all. I am not endorsing any of them. As with anything you

Thanks! Some of these are really useful. I especially love the inline commenting feature; I've been wanting that for ages. I hope it works well.

Heh. It didn't. I think that's the same one I tried before that didn't work. Le sigh.

Oh noes. Maybe it's not playing well with your layout? Did you enable ?nc= comments? Sorry. :(

[spectralbovine]

Oh, actually, I hadn't. But...even when I did, it was screwy. It didn't work like the picture showed. My layout's not even that complicated.

But I really like that IMDb one! I'm going to have to get used to having to click, but I think it's worth the feeling of safety! Because it's hard to avoid seeing some of those things when you're just browsing, and sometimes I just can't help not looking because it's right there on the page. This way I shouldn't get spoiled by Plot Keywords like "Twist at the End." GEE, THANKS.

Oh, there's also LJ Instant Comment, but I haven't tried it.

[spectralbovine]

I've wanted something like that too, and it's cool in principle...but you can't choose an icon! And I almost never just use my default, so that one isn't really worth it.

[gnatkip]

Hee, I hardly ever use anything BUT my default. But I usually like to at least glance at the conversation before commenting, so yeah, that one's not my sort of thing either.
