I will concede that it is tough to move from a legacy platform to a “modern” one. Oftentimes you’re trying to figure out what a webmaster coded 15 years ago without any documentation. The key is to do all the hard stuff before your users have to see what the new site looks like.

I am a web-dev, and I’m only more baffled by this transition now.

Maybe disallow posting of pictures? Just a crazy thought.

Is there a chance of making posting a top-level comment not utterly pointless if you don’t get in within a certain time? (i.e., comment sorting, refresh options)

I’m still stuck in the greys, so this may not show up. However: I’ve been reading the AV Club since it was the print-only, “serious” part of the Onion. Like many long-time readers, I’m concerned that folding AVC into the remnants of the Gawkerverse will kill the unique perspective and voice that makes this place so…

I’m spending so little time at the AVClub that I’m actually accomplishing work. I’m afraid.

If you click the little ‘Aa’ in the top right, there’s a formatting bar where you can do all of that.

Will you ever even see this? Does Kinja give notifications for replies? I haven’t gotten any yet so I still don’t know.

While Anderson Cooper and his guests wrung their hands over this on CNN last night, the ticker at the bottom the screen made a one sentence mention of the fact that the Feds are defunding a project that studies the health impact of mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia. Maybe that should have been the lead story.

As a long time Kinja user, I promise it’s not nearly as bad as y’all fear. Mobile’s kinda gross, but to be honest I had way more issues with Disqus than I ever had with Kinja.

No I’m not telling you my previous Kinja name.

Make site wider. I have what is professionally known as a big ass monitor and it’s cramming all the text in a tiny area on the right half of the screen, while the entire left half of the screen is a blank space. This is bad.

Nice tongue-in-cheek headline there, folks.
