buggery | OMG LJ R R0X0R L33T

What a nice thing to wake up to -- I start replying to comments on my most recent livejournal post (and I'm behind on both doing that and commenting on some of the brilliant fic that's come out this past week, but I digress), and when I click the Reply to this link on the first comment, instead of the talkpost.bml?replyto page loading after a slight delay, some spiffy little script INSTANTANEOUSLY opened a simplified reply dialogue, right in the entry's comment view.

You can only control the subject line and text of your comment in the new magic script box -- no options to post anonymously or log in if you aren't already, no choice of user icons or ~~annoying ID bar junk~~ emoticon, no way to get a preview. But, if you do want any of that stuff, you just click the "More Options..." button instead of the "Post Comment" button (and you still can't post a blank comment, so if you click the wrong button, you get taken to a talkpost page anyway, with a little advisory that Your message was blank).

edit²:
The script has now been adjusted to allow users to select their choice of icon when using the short form. Go LJ development team!

This is a spiffy, spiffy improvement to LJ's utility.

Now, if there was just a Current food: notation built in, like the Current mood: and Current music: are...

LJ giveth, and LJ taketh away...

According to the support page,

Users may experience errors when accessing Memories from communities or other friends. This is due to a recent code upgrade, and developers are working to resolve this issue.As near as I've been able to tell, what this actually means is that NO user can view ANY other user's memories, even if the user whose memories they are wants them to be public. Major suck for fans of the dcfic_index (liviapenn, take note), as well as for folks like ME who use the memories function to index their LJ fiction, or like thete1 who uses it to provide handy links to all her icons posts... no, you know what? This just sucks.

Let's all pray LJ's development team assigns a higher priority to fixing this issue than they did to the XColibur display problem...

edit³: Memories access now appears to be working as it should once more. Is this site not the best?
