Domestic activities

[wiseheart]

I've finally got around to make some more apricot jam. I think that was it for me - enough for one summer. Unless I got huge amounts of fruits gifted upon me, which is fairly unlikely.

I've made two more Big Fish(TM) and cut out some parts for the 'match the colour' page of Janka's quiet book. Then I had a long, lovely phone chat with my friend Elise, who happens to be Janka's grandmother.

Now, can someone tell me what this "new comment field" thing is that keeps popping up whenever I comment on an entry? I don't remember it being here yesterday. Also, it seems that the menu bar has changed somehow when I try to make a new entry. Does LJ again try fixing that which is not broken?

Comments

My LJ looks the same as always, I'm sorry.

It probably depends on the style you are using. *sigh*
I wish they wouldn't keep changing things all the time!

[artemis10002000]

Idk, it looks the same as always for me, too. Maybe you got opted in for some beta testing or get a staggered rollout early, lucky you. I know Twitter likes to introduce changes in waves.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Maybe you got opted in for some beta testing

You know, that is possible; the "new comment field" label does have a beta sign on it.
I feel so honoured — NOT!

[artemis10002000]

What a honor :(

And yeah, my regular-looking comment field doesn't have anything marked beta

Everything seems fairly normal here. Maybe you clicked on the new post editor? I´ve seen some journals using it, and it´s ugly. Like made for half-blind people...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't! It just appeared out of the blue. I don't dare to click on it, although I admit a slight curiosity what it might be like, out of fear that I won't be able to undo it afterwards.

The menu bar of the comment field looks the same, only all the symbols are now very light coloured, barely visible. And that stupid "new comment field" label, adorned with a red beta, appears in the upper right corner every time.

I don't see that when I leave comments, but it could be because I insist on using the old style and refused to switch. I don't see that stupid "heart" button either and I'm glad LJ seems to be sparing me the newfangled stuff. :)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I'm using the old style, too — at least one of the old styles. Perhaps mine isn't old enough to be spared?

[beauty-forashes.livejournal.com]

No idea, I thought it was only one old and one new style that they introduced several years ago.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Or, as artemis10002000 said, I was opted out for some beta testing. Grrrr!

[lab-jazz.livejournal.com]

Like beauty_forashes I'm using the very old version of LJ, nothing has changed for me.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

So do I! I've just checked. So I don't understand why I see all these "wonderful" changes.

[lab-jazz.livejournal.com]

You do sign off and on to LJ, you don't just leave it open all the time?

If you do leave it open, try signing off your account and then on again. It may fix the problem

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do leave it open all the time, but this isn't really a problem. I was just wondering what might have happened.

[manue7a.livejournal.com]

No changes on LJ for me, but I'm using the old version.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Me, too, and the changes are still there. Grrrr!

I post comments, but have not made an actual post in years. I wanted to make one today, post a humorous picture, and realized I forgot, not just how to post pictures, but how to post, period. When I finally figured it out, the process looked and felt entirely different from what I previously remember. It seemed extraordinarily complicated. So, I changed my mind, and will continue to just comment, lol.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

A shame! I'd like to know what's going on in your life from time to time. :)
