I only post to DW to show how dumb I am...apparently

[coreopsis]

Or angry in the case of those Primeval posts. heh. But I liked this week's episode much more except for one bit that made me go WTF, like, A LOT. But I haven't felt like typing up a post about it. Saving my strength to go back to work tomorrow. bleh.

Anyway, to the point of this post...

I'm so confused. I hadn't looked at DW for about four or five days. I've been sick and just not keeping up with anything. So I sat down today to get caught up and noticed that the usernames don't show up on the posts on my reading page, unless the post is in a comm and then the poster's name shows up but not the comm name. I have to hover over people's icons to see who they are or hover over the comment link to see what comm it is.

The thing that's really doing my head in at the moment is that I can't remember if the usernames were visible before I took my unintended sick leave or they weren't visible then either as a quirk of this particular style and I was too concerned with other things to notice.

Maybe I need to just take another break until new made-just-for-DW styles are available or something.

They were visible. It has to do with a code change. This explains how to fix it. http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/5062.html

Ah, okay. Thanks. Clearly I need to have that comm on the reading list too.

http://getting-started.dreamwidth.org/ (too lazy to make a pretty link) is also awesome and useful. :D

Also, if you want to wait until they go live to actually use it (like past open beta and into the actual deal), I totally think you should. Beta-testing (or even hanging out during the beta stage) is not everyone's cup of tea. For some people, it's like ooooh, new toy, but for others, the rate of change and instability are too maddening to make it bearable. No shame in either reaction. I don't know of anyone that's leaving LJ altogether anytime soon.

I hope you're feeling better! Being sick sucks hard, and I REALLY hope you didn't have the flu that's been going around work--that baby is vicious.
