LJ 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:
@greenwillow77 Yes, LJ will be removing the header field for comments in the next release.


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.

Mixmas!
