dw_maintenance | 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 dreamwidth.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I found the problem and figured out a fix! Not only that, but I managed to get:

- comment edits
- “more options”
- reply links opened in new tabs (or with JavaScript disabled)

...all returning you to the thread view you were on when you started commenting. Basically this feature was only ever half implemented, and arguably it worked by accident in the old preview.

Anyway, now the other devs get to review it and see what I missed. 😅 But hopefully we’ll have that fixed on the real site soon! Thanks for your patience and feedback.
