I can't post from Firefox. Guess I'm finally going to try out Chrome now. :P

Also, have you tried selecting an icon for a comment? OMG. It is the worst most inefficient thing ever.

Remembering the alphabet might have been helpful when you were designing this piece of 'functionality'.
Amen!

This comment is through Firefox. I'm just going to try posting a new post and see what happens. Clearly I'm behind the times!

As someone who tests web developments for a living, I cannot believe they let it go out without testing it on other browsers, doing the most basic bug testing, and oh, I don't know, listening to the thousands of comments saying how rubbish it is.

If that happened at my company we'd all get fired, yet they seem to be feeling rather smug about it all. Sadly, I'm no longer surprised.

I know! I mean, this is actually crazy cakes! You can almost understand a company making radical overhaul with no communication to their userbase. It's bad business, but many do it.

But making a development that doesn't actually work for what is likely to be a reasonable portion of your userbase? Is not indicative of a sane mind.

Do you read seperis's LJ? She had an amusing post on the subject. And, also seems to have a workaround to the comment issue. Tho, I have not tried it.

I couldn't get seperis's workaround to work. However, if you're using S2 (which, apparently, I am. Who knew?) and go to Customise Journal Style and select 'No' for "Disable customized comment pages for your journal", you can apparently post comments from Firefox. [*fingers crossed* - this comment was hopefully brought to you by commenting on the post rather than by email.]

But it has brought home to me how much I hate my layout for commenting on. I like it for reading my flist page. But as a individual post page? Oh god hate.

I just tried my layout for comments and though my header is pretty, and it'd be nice to see it... Yeah, it's not a layout that works well with comments. :(

Guess it's crashy IE for me for a while.

Oh, I also love the fact that 'post a new comment' is now on the left. Nearly posted a new comment instead of repling to you. Yet more fail. :(
