Heads-up: LJ functionality being removed
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 09:00 amLJ are rolling out a change that, amongst other fabulous innovations, will remove the subject line from comments.
Translation of the original post (which is in Russian on a developer's journals) here.
Key concept: - comments no longer have Subject field and this is non-negotiable;
LJ have confirmed it on Twitter:
My pennyworth: I use the subject line a lot, and rely on it when navigating posts with multiple nested comment threads. I cannot imagine how they thought this was a good idea. (Or why they thought it would be okay to implement without consulting user base, and inform said user base via such a ... wilfully obscure route.)
So! Time I resynced my Dreamwidth account, I think.
