Code push happening shortly!

Hi all,

We're doing a code push as mentioned here.

As usual, a code push includes some visual changes (continuing our efforts to modernize common workflows) and also includes some conversions of old pages to be generated in a different way with different markup. As always, we've tested the changes in most of the major browsers and use cases, but some things may break when they meet real-world usage and different technical setups. If we broke it, we'll fix it as soon as we can.

We will be watching this post for comments, so please let us know if you see anything that needs to be addressed and we'll take a look!

Known Issues

  • The spellchecker continues to go walkabout. This is intentional, we are deprecating it and removing it. Modern browsers have spellcheck that works in multiple languages and has actually been updated since 1995, so there's no reason for Dreamwidth to continue to try to maintain one.

Fixed Issues

  • FAQs had gone missing. Well, the answers. They're back now.
  • Replying to comments was incorrectly routing you back to the top level view, rather than the view of the thread you were on. This is fixed.

As always, please do keep an eye on our Twitter account [twitter.com profile] dreamwidth.

FAQ may be broken

I like the new comment preview page! However, I think the FAQ broke in the code push. While I can see the listing of FAQ topics, when I click and get redirected to the new page I can't see the answered question. I get the dreamwidth page and surrounding features, I get the date the question in the FAQ was last updated, but nothing else.

It's definitely broken in the same way for me, too.
