Mod post: LJ-induced admin stuff

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Okay, folks. LiveJournal has "fixed" the comment pages in such a way that we can no longer have subject headers.

This won't affect us right away, but it will the next time we have a comment-fic meme or fic challenge. This is just to let you know that the mods are aware of the problem and we're going to try to find a workaround until such time as LJ removes its head from its ass.

Happy writing!


:::ETA:::

For those of you who are curious, the changes were announced in this news post. By all means, go and make your displeasure known over there.

WTF? Why! Those are kind of important!

Is there anybody on LJ staff we can innundate with protests about this "improvement"? Because for all of us who read and comment on comment memes--or even leave comments and track comments in others' journals, this...renders all of that problematic.

I've been looking for the feedback comm LJ used to have, but I can't find one. Anybody?

This is a subject! And a test.

If I view journals and comms in my own style, I can still add subject lines. I'm typing this to see if the subject is displayed after I posted the comment.

EDIT: Well... in a manner of speaking. I'm editing this comment NOT in my own style and the subject line is nowhere to be seen...

Someone on another comm just posted this:

Here is a possible fix for this: http://stardustcities.tumblr.com/post/14556936645/a-subject-line-fix-for-livejournal-kink-memes
I found this here: http://spnkink-meme.livejournal.com/55148.html

Not sure if it works, haven't tried it, but it might be something to look into for the comment memes?

Not sure this is helpful

I've noticed that when I view things in 'My Style' I still have subject lines.
