Coo, the new reply-to-this-comment thing on LJ is cute.

Has something changed? I did notice that the "Post Comment" buttons disappeared in Konqueror this afternoon.

Oh yes, you reply in-place now. Nifty!

The "more options" button seems to take you to the old comment-posting interface. This comment is to try out posting in-place.

Gotcha. K3wl!

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Absolutely nothing different apparent here. Is it something to do with browser or styles?

Try replying to someone else's comment?

From where I'm sitting it's very nice, anyway.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Ah... I did just that not very long ago and didn't get this box. It must have changed just after I did it, or something. Very nice.

Umm.. my first reaction is "ick", actually. It's positively twee.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Twee? What's twee about it? genuinely confused by that.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I don't like that they can't spell successfully though.

[ewx.livejournal.com]

Gave me a surprise the first time I saw it...

Nah, it's good because it means you can respond to the poster while still having an idea of what the thread/original poster was on about. I don't know about you but these days I have a memory like a holey thing so that's useful.

[rysmiel.livejournal.com]

Just an off-the-top-of-my-head aesthetic reaction, I don't think I could put it more clearly than that.

But (a) you have to go on to "more options..." if you want a non-default picture or anything and (b) it re-introduces the stupid "prefix the subject with Re:" bug. Not sure the extra prodding-at-the-user-interface is worth it.

[k425.livejournal.com]

But if you ignore the RE: box you don't end up with a blank subject line, so it doesn't annoy me that much. It would annoy me if you got blank RE: line in my post.

(c) it requires JavaScript, so I didn't notice anything special and won't be using it in future. :-)
