A month and a half of class

So, you remember when I mentioned how LJ installed some third-party code to rummage through all the links you include in your posts, and stick affiliate links on them to earn cash? But the coders were horribly amateur and didn't know how to filter URLs, so they broke a bunch of links, overwrote people's own affiliate IDs, and generally made a dog's

Comments

I post on DW (deepwoods), auto-crosspost it here, and comment on peoples comments where they appear.

[smarriveurr]

Working out well, I take it? How long have you been using that arrangement?

[paleolithical]

Several months, the only I would want that is missing (AFAIK) is to have comments sucked/pushed back and forth.

They support the lj codes, so there is no problem with links and such (there are ways to enter them, the FAQ is fairly clear)

[smarriveurr]

Man, if they could replicate comment chains, that would be insane. I wouldn't even wait.

The whole thing seems remarkably well done, and they're small enough to be more agile about things than LJ can be.

You can't do it regularly (tho there's a bug open for scheduled import), but you can import regularly and if you used the DW crossposter to post, the system is smart about putting comments where they belong.

[smarriveurr]

For the record, this is pretty damn spiffy. I assume comments are imported as though they were OpenID comments by the LJ user?

[rahaeli]

Yup!
