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.

Chiming with the testing

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