Code push happening shortly!

[mark]

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 dreamwidth.

Yes, I know what you're talking about! I'm having difficulty with this as well, especially with the lag on comment-heavy posts. When I have a long comment thread, it was nice to have it direct me back into the thread where I was. Comparing the links from now to before, I've noticed it appends this after the entry link as of right now:

?view=(######)&posted=1#cmt(######)

Compared to what it used to do, which was to add this after the entry link:

?thread=(######)&posted=1#cmt(######)

(Amount of numbers variable, obviously.) I vastly prefer what it used to do, not only to avoid lag on posts with many comments, but because in long comment threads it used to allow me to immediately see/review my posted comment instead of seeing the entire thread in a collapsed view. I hope this can be reverted!

Ah ha, thank you for including the query string part of the URL here! That'll be helpful.

Yikes. +1 from me too - when you post a comment you should definitely land back on that comment you just posted.
