Idiots!

So, once again, the LJ design team screws up and chooses to ignore user protests.

While we will not be offering an option to switch back to the old version, I hope we can work together to make changes and improve what we now have. Please understand that we love you guys and admittedly, we sometimes do things without fully understanding what the community reaction will be.

In other words, "we screwed up, but we're not going to fix it because you experienced users aren't bringing in any advertising revenue compared to all those newbies who set up plus accounts."

Fortunately, there's a cure for this one:

   emacs -f lj-compose

(Install from the ljupdate home page).

Just tried to "Post to community". Can't find a place on the page to say which community. Please explain or fix?

Up near the top of the new update page, just below your username, is a dropdown menu labeled "Post to". It should list all the communities you belong to.

If it doesn't, it's a bug. You may have to SHIFT-reload or do whatever else it takes to make your browser bypass the cache, if you've used the update page recently.

Thank you; Glenn also pointed it out to me. BTW, I *adore* your cheesed-off penguin!

Ganked it from technoshaman and gridlore. Apparently it's from some website called "poke the penguin".

My emacs at work doesn't have the lj-compose module... waah
