title. Livejournal - Show Subject Field
browsers tested. Chrome & Firefox
description. Shows subject field in Livejournal's new default comment pages.

notes.
  • If you are using Firefox, you will need the Greasemonkey add-on to run this script. If you're a Chrome user, there's no need for it.
  • But don't get too smug yet, Chrome users (which I am one, I admit). Unfortunately, there is a problem in the alignment of "Subject:" and the input field in Chrome when a post has ?mode=reply or ?replyto= in its URL. I tried to fix it within the script itself, but I just gave up and adjusted the damn thing with this Stylish script I made before (and if you already have it, be sure it's version 2.4.2 or higher since the fix for the subject field misalignment in Chrome has only recently been added). That said, if you don't want to use the userstyle, that's okay -- the subject field is still functional either way.
  • While this script does allow you to enter a subject, it will not put the subject line back in the header where it used to be. Rather, it will remain bolded and be placed as the first line in the text of your comment under the blue comment header. That's just how Livejournal displays a subject line these days whether in old or new comments. Now, if you want to see it back up there, the userstyle I linked to above makes that possible.
  • The subject field no longer automatically contains Re: [Subject of Previous Comment] when replying. I think you'll need additional code for that, and I... don't know what that would be.
  •  And just in case anyone asks: subjects entered with this script will still show up in your LJ inbox and in email notifications.

So there! Now go have some indecent fun with your subject fields.

ETA: (01/06) Whoops, I noticed that the code was affecting custom comment pages as well, instead of just the ones in the new default design. Specifically, the subject field was being moved to the right when that behaviour should've been occuring only in default comment pages. Sorry! I've updated the script so it should be fixed now. And if you're using Chrome and the userstyle Release 88 Tweaks, better update that as well (you should have at least v.2.4.2 or higher) 'cause I made a mistake there, too. *facepalm*

It's another DDoS attack. Seems like LJ's been down as often as it's been up. And that's a generous assessment.

I was hoping to while away the hours reading Merlin kink meme threads but no go, apparently. Shame. And now I'm bored and my back hurts.

Need I say anything else? LJ's being an ass again and I'm stuck here complaining for the hundredth time. This is getting to be a ritual.

I'm just repeating myself over here

You know it. Somebody's got a bee in their bonnet over LJ existing as a functioning service. So they're trying to make everybody else miserable by TAKING IT AWAY. *gnashes teeth*

Damn it, I'm hanging out at tumblr instead.

Guess what

That's right, some blog service called Livejournal's been down AGAIN. It's another DDoS attack in so many days according to them. Funny, I'd just about given up holding out and decided to buy an account just for the icon slots (don't judge me! The sudden appearance of these pictures of Colin Morgan cannot but change my mind!) when this happens for the umpteenth time. Large amounts of GRAR from this corner ensued.

Not again!

LJ's down again, boo. This is why I didn't renew my account over there even though I miss having more than 6 icon slots. I'm thinking of getting a paid account here but I'm not entirely sure there's enough fandom activity going on to warrant buying a spot. Well, we'll see!

same old, same old

soft as thunder
The stupid outages and sudden onsets of snail-fast service that livejournal keeps on having are seriously making me reconsider my decision to continue having a paid account there. I planned on staying because, well, frankly I don't like change and the hoped-for fandom mass migration hasn't happened (yet?) but I hesitate on giving more money to a site I'm no longer sure about.

Ugh.

Wtf is wrong with livejournal again. Reading my entries here, I feel like I'm in a relationship with DW but keep talking incessantly about an ex.

And yes, I am spamming my own journal just so I can get the layout to scroll down.

Was getting a little bored with the old theme so changed it up with one of [personal profile] gossymer's customized layouts. Pretty, huh?

Nothing much going on except I've been gorging on lots of Star Trek XI fics. I even edited my memories, which I haven't done in livejournal for what feels like forever.
