LJ scrod again

[calimac]

LJ's latest interface update, for all those who haven't preserved the legacy interface, has disabled the "post" button in every browser I have. Now it's just an image on the screen; nothing happens if you click on it. I use an early version of Firefox for my basic browsing, to avoid "improvements" I don't want, and a current version of Opera for anything that doesn't work on Firefox. Formerly I posted on Opera, but now I can't use that. I even tried IE8, and that didn't work either. I had to download Chrome before I found one that'd work properly. Good grief.

The "comment" button on the page for each individual post is also gone and replaced by an icon. Not an improvement and genuinely terrible for people using screen readers unless they were very careful with the alt tag for the icon.

Hope Chrome agrees with you; the interface is somewhat novel compared to FF, Safari, and IE.

Hmm, I'm still getting "Post a new comment" and "Reply", at least on Chrome.

Whoops, I'm seeing the same thing, but yesterday I posted a comment where I did not see the link. Hmmm.

So far all I've used Chrome for is to post on LJ. I'm firmly resisting its blandishments to tie all my devices and programs together, which it keeps asking me to do. It can go jump in the lake as far as that's concerned.
