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.

(Technically there's also a class you can add directly to the image, which you'll probably find on your own if you go looking for it. But you should consider that an implementation detail that might change at some point -- it's more reliable to just make the image look like the type of image we're deliberately trying to not squish.)

Now, that's the kind of solution I would prefer, although it's not hugely relevant to me.
