Release 88 is now live!
Features:
- Site-scheme comment pages have been redesigned! Any journal or community which has disabled customized comment pages, such as this community, have been updated. Highlights include the commenting form having improved userpic selection, making it easy to insert links, images, and videos, expand/collapse functionality of comment threads has been improved, you can easily see what comments are new since the last time you loaded an entry, you can navigate between pages of comments by using ctrl + left/right arrow keys, and comments no longer have a subject field.
- The LiveJournal homepage has been updated to include the LiveJournal Today section, where you can find some of the recent entries on the site higlighted by our Editorial team. There are also modules which allow you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
- The Update page and Edit entry pages have been changed. Most notably, the font in the HTML editor has changed, how lj-cuts appear in the Rich Text Editor (RTE) has been updated, and a few buttons/menu items are in different locations than they previously were.
