Code push coming shortly

Hi all!

Edit: This is done, the code has been pushed!

In the next few minutes, we'll be doing a code push on Dreamwidth. You can expect a bit of a rocky experience tonight, since we will be not only deploying new code, but also doubling our caches -- which means that the site will slow down for a while, then will get faster than it was!

If you see any problems, please comment here and let us know. We have all hands on deck to make sure everything goes smoothly.

(PS, special shout out to [staff profile] denise, [personal profile] fu, [personal profile] exor674, and [personal profile] geekosaur who are in IRC helping out or keeping company while this happens. You folks are awesome!)

I'll try and do some more research - there was a change in the display CSS property of userpics on the S2 comment pages which was the only way I could think of to resolve an aesthetics/acessibility conflict. MDN tells me that IE8 supports the property I used, but it must do it in a non-standard implementation? So I'm not sure what we can do to fix it that doesn't break one of the other issues again.
