Slightly-Belated Non-News: LJ Release 94

[nookiepowered]

Since this happened last week while I was off in San Diego (drink it in; it always goes down smooth); it's probably not a revelation to most of you, but just for posterity and the glory of The LiveJournal Tag:

News | Releases

Fixes We Might Care About

* Timestamps on custom comments pages no longer show in UTC (unless your journal is actually set to that), yay!

* Collapsed subject lines on custom comments pages no longer say "no subject," yay!

* No more redirects to the login page for public posts, yay!

* Spell-check works, yay!

* All journal types can make polls now, yay! (Which is more just a freebie improvement than a fix, but whatever.)

* CAPTCHA finally turns off when you tell it to, yay!


Bugs We Might Care About

....The Rich Text Editor continues to suck, and so does the userpic selector on the default style comment pages? Neither of these are really new, LJ, though congrats on finding additional ways to temporarily break them and then kind of fixing them but not completely, I guess.

Other

* The Lost Girl cast and crew refer to the power displayed in this icon as The Super-Suck.

* When rehearsing Bo's chi-draining encounters, the absent visual effects get summarized as "aaaaand then suckysuckysucky..."

Neither of these are relevant but they make brat_inslayage cackle amusingly, and I've had that kind of morning.

* No more redirects to the login page for public posts, yay!

Ah, maybe I'll go close my bitchy support ticket then. :)

And icons with multiple descriptions don't work anymore. Unless that's what you meant.

Yup, that's what I meant by the last bit. Except as far as I know, icons with multiple descriptions haven't worked in the visual browser since the new comment page was introduced, so I'm at a loss as to how this is a new bug.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Um, it's been working for months in the new style. So it just broke (again) this week.

You're right, that fix went live in April with R91. What I was remembering was that there was still an issue if you did use the script for a text-dropdown on the default pages, in which case there was still this problem:

The fix for "multiple keywords=default" was accomplished by LJ removing all alternate keywords from your options (in the default style only) except the one that comes first alphabetically. No big deal for the visual browser since you see the picture anyway, but if you're using the Stylish script that gives you back a dropdown text list, all of those additional keywords will be missing from your list. (i.e. I have a (worksafe) icon whose keywords are "kink" and "porn" -- in default style with the Stylish script, "porn" is missing from the list.) This does not affect custom comment pages, which still show all keywords.

If they fixed that issue, it never showed up in the news/releases listings afterwards.

I honestly don't know as I don't use the text form so I wasn't aware of the bug. (I like looking at the pretties.) I was just so annoyed when I couldn't select my icons again. Siiiiiiiiiigh.

You missed something!

Namely: What's the Russian for Super-Suck?

[brat_inslayage]

HEY, SUCKY SUCKY SUCKY.
