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.

- When you're writing an entry, is the URL of the update page dreamwidth.org/update or dreamwidth.org/entry/new?

- Are you typing your entries directly in the update box, or typing them up in another program such as Word and pasting them in when you're done? If you're pasting, what program are you pasting from?

- Can you give me the link of an entry that's having the problem?

It says dreamwidth.org/update

I was writing directly into the update box.

I am now unable to reproduce the error so you can ignore me.

Okay! (For the record, that URL means that you're using the old update page, which we're in the process of replacing. If you don't use the rich text editor, you may want to switch to the beta update page instead at https://www.dreamwidth.org/beta.)
