LJ's latest folly

I've added my voice to the chorus of diapproval over the "new" and "improved" comment pages. I'm especially torqued about the loss of the comment titles, and the loss of the preview functionality.

Supposedly those changes don't affect the style I'm using here. We shall see.

A test comment

It would appear that - in my style, at least - the comment form still has preview and subject functionality. (This particular comment has the subject "A test comment".)

And I didn't get hit with a captcha. (Unlike the situation on [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases.)

Another test.

My plain unpaid acct, on your journal, gets a comment title, and no icon shenanigans. As opposed to what I've gotten on other LJs. GRRRRRR.

The LJ powers-what-be haven't screwed up the so-called "S2" style system, which is what I've got. (At least, they haven't screwed it up yet.)

Unfortunately, the SU LJs are affected. Not that very much is happening on them nowadays :-(

I don't know what I have. Whatever it was in 2001 when I signed up. Not that I'm posting...I really should, huh?

Chiming with the testing

Looks like I have subject line and preview options here. In italics even.
