lol hai

OH HI THAR

[yaaresse]

Yay on spam protection. Thank you.

Any chance of ever making RTF functionality available in replies, or would that be a complete coding PTIA beyond imagination?

[duskwuff]

Probably the latter. Unless you could live with having RTE only available on the (rarely seen) full reply page, in which case it'd just be a normal PITA.

[yaaresse]

Ah well, never hurts to ask. :)

[pochi_k]

oh, thank you so much for the opera fix! And the calendar fix. It was getting annoying. :Db

[alexia_drake]

The Filter and Calendar features on the Navigation Strip must be clicked before displaying dropdowns instead of automatically displaying when hovering over them.

Thank you so much for that :D

[campylobacter]

At least they fixed that. It was highly annoying.

[surrey_sucks]

I hated that! I'm so glad it's fixed!

I saw "LJ-Like," and for a moment I was ecstatic.

Then I realized it was something else entirely.

For journal entries, I never want a like button. Commenting is enough. As a writer, it bugs me every time someone adds one of my stories to their favorites/memories/whatever without even attempting to tell me what they liked about it. It sounds like a stupid thing to complain about, but if I don't know what I'm doing right, I might not keep doing those good things. A like button would just add to that.

But for comments, I would LOVE a like button, or a thumbs-up button or something. (No thumbs down button, though. That's too susceptible to trolls and stuff.)

And if none of that made sense, I apologize. I'm tired, and I just don't feel like proofreading my comment this time around.

I can't tell if you agree with me or if you're trying to prove a point, but it made me laugh either way.

If it's the latter, point taken, even if I still don't know how to do those.

Mainly, though, I meant something you could just click on the comment, and then maybe in the blue bar with all the posting info, it would have "[So-and-so amount of] people like this comment."

You see, this method sends me an e-mail alert. I go to read it, and all it says is " " or something.

Or, for an example that happens a lot more often, I'll be reading some post with a ton of comments. I'll see that a lot of people are replying to this one person, so I want to see how they agree/disagree/expand on the OP's idea, so I expand the thread. Instead, I see a lot of thumbs ups and IAWTCs and stuff. And since this has started annoying me, I don't want to do it myself, so I'm left with nothing to do when I agree/really like someone's comment, but have no way to expand. Which, I realize, is exactly why everyone else does it.

[fiddlingfrog]

Both really. I'd like there to be an easier way to show agreement, but in the meantime we have something that'll work decently well.

To make a comment like that one click reply and then click on "More Options..." under the comment box. On that page you'll see a grey-ed out smiley face next to the subject line - click on that and you'll get a whole range of comment-line icons to choose from. And to make an empty comment you just put in for the message. That's the HTML character code for a non-breaking space
