Code push happening
Please comment and let us know of anything broken! It'll be live shortly.

I have a variation of the "ciel" theme on a handful of my journals and I've noticed that, on every one of them, the backgrounds are no longer there; it's just a plain color background. (ie, this journal uses "daydream" and instead of the swirly background design, it's a plain cream color.) I'm not sure if that has anything at all to do with the code push, but... well. Timing. :)
So, so, so glad that you put this through. Comment-by-email will make things so much more streamlined for me. Thank you. |Db

You know, being able to comment by email is going to... um... speaking only for myself and about myself, NO GOOD WILL COME OF THIS....
[it is awesome tho]

I'm currently viewing DW in Tropospherical Purple, and all the links I've already clicked on are suddenly a much brighter purple than they were before, which is making it a little difficult to read, especially on entries that have already collapsed to need multiple comment pages because the box with the page numbers nearly matches the shade of the new link text. Is this a permanent change or just a minor bug?
Liking the change to the option to reply from e-mail. I feel a little weird mentioning this, but can anything be done about random line breaks that are inserted into replies that way? Or is this something that G-Mail is doing that can't be changed from your end?
That appears to be blinding light emanating from his ... I can't even. *averts eyes from the glare*
so I just tested this out and IT IS FAB, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
one thing I'm noticing is that it doesn't seem to like unusual icon keywords though?
for example, I user "post-icon: ☆ﾐヾ(*´∇`)σ[ノ ヽ``┼┐！]" and it posts with the icon for the keywords ┬┴┬┴┤(￣ー├┬┴┬┴ 垣間見. The second icon is also my default but when I hover it doesn't show (default), it shows that keyword, so...
idk if that's something fixable and I'm willing to adapt and-or change them up so DW might recognize them better (say like, putting numbers in front of the emotes) but it's something I noted.
(I am also sorry for posting on this account but lazy RPer is lazy)

Another question along a similar vein: if you don't have keywords, the pic # should work right? like this icon is pic#1012071, for example. (like I said, lazy)

I'm having an issue with the original message still appearing at the bottom of my comment when replying from email via my phone. I'm using the native email program on Blackberry Curve, with a Gmail address.
It shows everything, including the reply-to address. I can work around it by clearing the original message before I hit send, but if there's a fix for this that'd be awesome.
haha oops I forgot the default icon on this journal looked so annoyed

Random quick question. Does using Gmail's quick reply box work, or do we need to hit reply in the thingy up there. Sorry. I don't know the technical name for the reply/reply all/forward buttons.
I think there might be a issue with the page-refreshing. I'm not sure if it's due to any spike in traffic or not, but every time I refresh a page, it takes a very long time to do so. I mean, all the main stuff loads, but it's still hanging on "waiting for www.dreamwidth.org..." Opening a new tab or page may help you load it regularly, but it's hitting the refresh button always causes this even with new tabs or windows.
I'm on the latest version of Firefox, and my comp runs Windows 7 64-bit; dunno if that helps or not ^^;

I know when you were talking about this feature before it went live, you said that the reply from email will post as the person the first comment was directed to. Does that apply to anon threads? So I'm tracking an anon thread and all the comments are posted as anon, nothing direct to my Cyprinella account. When I email reply, will it be anon?
Is, uh, there a box to check in settings somewhere to go back to the old way of replying to comments via email, with the comment box instead of with replies? If not I'll adapt or whatever, just wondering. It was more efficient for high comment volume, and replies via email have weird wrapping.
The linewrapping is a known problem, and being worked on (it seems to mostly be gmail's fault. Thanks, google). I am not Official Staff, but I'm a dev, and my educated guess is that no, there won't be an option to go back to the old system - the e-mail templates were basically totally overhauled for this, and maintaining two sets of files is difficult, particularly when the old system flat-out didn't work for a lot of people. Plus the Account settings is already too full of options.
Sorry - hopefully the linewrapping issue will be gone in the next few days.

Contextual pop-ups are broken on all site-scheme pages aside from pages where they retain the old CSS/when New JS on Journals beta is turned off, and journals where they have custom styling. No fix logged in, or logged out.
I also had some issues expanding comment threads where there was "no response received", and then when it finally worked, it didn't. I didn't realize I was logged out when this happened, or maybe I logged out during because the track icon is gone on the expanded comments (and that could have caused the oops). Refreshing put things back to normal.

I'm not reproducing the hover menu problem. Try clearing your browser cache?
The problems expanding comments just means that there was a timeout -- could be your internet connection, could've been a problem with the site. We'll keep an eye on it.

Just throwing this in here in the hopes that mods will see it. Would it be possible to be able to receive DW inbox notifications when someone replies to me on THEIR journal? I get emails for them, but tend not to reply until I have the time to sit down on DW and go through the inbox. LJ offers this, so it's difficult for me to adjust to having to reply to those comments immediately after getting the email. :)
Hi there!
I volunteer at Support and I think I can answer your question. Dreamwidth does have a process to make sure users' suggestions are heard and considered: you can read about it in "Where can I leave suggestions for site improvements?".
As for your particular suggestion, there's a bug open to do just that. Unfortunately, this part of the notification system is very, very old and complex -- DW inherited from LJ as it happens-- and thus very, very hard to change and nobody with the skills to do it has had the time and opportunity to work on it so far. It's definitely on DW's to-do list, though, so keep an eye on dw_news for announcements.
I hope this answered your question!

My journal style got changed to the default and I had to change it back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd let you know.
Hi! Support person here. Do you remember if it was Practicality/Neutral Good or Five AM/Early Edition? A few people reported reverting to Practicality/Neutral Good but not Five AM I think. We haven't figured out why this happens but more data might help.
I'm having a strange issue with mine, and it might have to do with how I have filters setup in gmail.
Anyway, whenever I reply to an email notification, it doesn't post, but sends me a notice of the following:
There was an error during your email posting:
Unauthorized sender address:

There was an error during your email posting:
Unauthorized sender address:
Yes, if you use the example+whatever@example.com method of filtering your email, you'll need to authorize the "base" (in this case, example@example.com) as an additional authorized address. Unless the address you send email from exactly matches your confirmed email address, you'll need to set up an authorized email for whatever the address you send email from is.
A little bit of a personal issue here, if I may?
I myself am not likely to use email to reply to comments. However, it looks as if a friend of mine did. In my DW inbox, her comment had a lot of quoted previous messages etc. attached to it that were never on inbox messages before. This just made the message a lot longer and more cluttered than I'd prefer... so would there be a way to remove all of that superfluous stuff on inbox views of comments?
ETA: okay, just actually looked at my journal, and discovered that ALL of that quoted junk was posted in the actual reply on the page. DO NOT WANT. That string of stuff makes for a huge mess I have to scroll past to get to other replies farther down.

If they made the comment between when the code was rolled out and when the fix for the issue was pushed live, then the content of the content will remain. The fix doesn't work retroactively.
However, going forward, that shouldn't happen again. If it does, let us know.
You may want to contact the user who left the comment and ask them to edit the comment to remove the offending content.

I just want to say I love this and all the work you guys are doing! I've tried from several accounts and it is working (aside from the gmail thing) perfectly. I even tried the icon thing and it worked.
Known issue (and should now be fixed). Some e-mail clients (cough gmail cough) were being old-school about things.
I absolutely LOVE this feature and haven't experienced any major problems thus far besides the line breaks using Gmail to reply to threads.
This is out of pure curiosity since I'm not sure if it's possible, is there a way for it to post a random icon when responding to a thread via email? Instead of remembering the keywords of an icon. :)
Otherwise, I really love and enjoy this feature! Thank you DW and the DW team!
