LiveJournal Release 91 is Live: New Features, Bug Fixes and More
MODERATOR TOOLS AND STYLES TOP THE LIST OF "NEW" IN THIS LATEST LIVEJOURNAL SITE UPDATE
LiveJournal Release 91 is live! Let’s just dive right in, shall we?
WHAT'S NEW
Moderators: Edit tags BEFORE approving an entry
Any of the thousands of mods on LiveJournal communities can attest to the hassle of editing tags after they’ve approved a post. Release 91 fixes this: Moderators can now edit tags before approving a post - especially useful if your community has pre-set tags.
Community Owners and Maintainers: See at a glance who approved that post
To keep track of who approves posts to the community you own or maintain - especially large ones with more than a few moderators - the username of who approved the post now appears above the entry subject line (visible to community owners & maintainers only). Note this feature is only available if the LiveJournal default comment pages are being used.
Everybody: Scissors for lj-cut
For those of you who use lj-cut or visit communities and journals that do, you’ll notice a new icon depicting a pair of scissors - ✂ - to denote where the cut is.
WHAT'S FIXED
LiveJournal Release 91 fixes the following known bugs:
Commenting Fixes
Other fixes
WHAT'S GONE
Games
LiveJournal is saying goodbye to the beta games implementation. You’ll notice “Games” has disappeared from the LiveJournal navigation bar, and all of the games have been removed from the site.
Writer's Block
For those missing Writer's Block, please know that though it was removed from the LiveJournal home page, the writersblock community remains alive and kicking. Add it to your friends list to see the day's question right on your Friends page.
We hope you find the updates, changes, and fixes in LiveJournal Release 91 useful.

Commenting Fixes
- Selecting a userpic with multiple keywords will no longer cause the comment to post with your default userpic.
