Soviet LJ, making unannounced changes again.

[elionwyr]

Preview button is gone.

And when you go to reply to a post, you now have a list of, what 6 different ways you can log in to reply.

As is the norm (IMNSHO), no heads up that these changes were being implemented, and the second one in particular is dang annoying.

*grumble*

...this is why I plan on making backups of past LJ entries on DW..*sigh*...it might become my move of last resort...bother!

Yeah...I have dithered for a long time. I am still torn.

If you click on more options then you get the preview button. But before that there is a check box that says: Check spelling and preview.

Wah wah wah change!

(Thank you for finding it.)

[adelheid-p.livejournal.com]

I like to poke around. But anyway, it would be nice if they announced these changes. . .

Hmm, looks the same as always to me...wonder if the change hasn't been pushed to the server I'm on yet...

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I saw a comment from one user on ljnews saying they had the change and then it was back to normal, but more people had it than didn't.

[softlywhispered.livejournal.com]

I don't have the change yet

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

I've seen the change implemented MUCH BETTER on other..I suppose we can assume it's servers?...areas where the posting options are in a slick drop down box instead of all listed above the text entry box.

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

However...weird. I don't see either change on my LJ.

Nice way to roll out an upgrade. Yeesh.
