Release #116
Comment subject lines are back!
We're pleased to let you know comment subject lines are returning to the site's default commenting style! Comment subject lines were only available when viewing custom comment pages, but they are now included as an optional setting for standard comment pages as well. You can turn comment subject lines on for your journal or community by visiting http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml and enabling the "Show subject in comment form for system style of comments" setting (the wording of this setting is likely to change soon).
Edited to add: The new option will only display if you're actually using system comment pages. So if you're using custom comment pages (if you have the "Disable customized comment pages for your journal" field set to No), then you won't see this option. If you want to use the system comment pages, you need to first set the "Disable customized comment pages for your journal" to Yes and save the page, and then you'll see the new option appear right below that one. You can then use the new option to turn on comment subject lines.

Other changes & features:
- System style comment pages no longer display "Local" at the end of every comment's timestamp.
- The thread collapser, which indicates how many more comments a long comment thread has, no longer displays a selection of usernames from that thread.
- The 'Add to Memories' popup now includes a link to full options. This will display the full memories page, where you can set keywords and select a category. (Previously, you had to open the 'Add to Memories' link in a new tab to reach the full options page.)
- Access Denied pages (shown when you try to access an entry you don't have permission to see) now include a link you can use to login, just in case you're logged out, or are logged in to the wrong account.
Bug fixes:
- Poll results no longer display giant bars in small browser windows.
- Links with returnto in the address should properly redirect you to the intended page after you log-in.
