Livejournal issues!

[theweaselking]

Anyone else finding that comments are not loading, at all? Are you using NoScript? I have a fix for you.

I'm getting comment notifications, and I'm seeing that posts HAVE comments, but I'm not seeing the comments themselves. The problem: Livejournal has screwed up the comment code again, in this case by making scripting required and also making scripting from a new, different domain, livejournal.net, required.

The fix: Allow scripts on livejournal.net to run.

Just FYI.

I have not come across this problem yet and I have Javascript disabled across the board when I'm on LiveJournal, no scripts allowed to run whatsoever. There was a fresh LJ_releases post earlier today. Only 30 or so replies so far and none have raised this issue, although there are a bunch with run-on issues in FireFox (I haven't had that problem either). I use FF23.

WTF?

I'm getting all kinds of strange coding problems, floating blue boxes on the page when I want to create a new post, and a long list of options above any comment I try to post. When I try to enable Javascript by going to Tools-Options-Content, there isn't a checkbox to check or uncheck 'enable javascript' at all. Any suggestions? LJ support has been unable to fix my issues so far and I'm getting frustrated - can't even preview posts, and my husband is having the same issue as you are with not being able to see comments (I'm on a laptop, he's on a computer).

Is there another place where I can tell the browser to allow scripts on livejournal.net to run?

Thanks - I'm glad to see that at least we're not the only people having problems with this but I wish LJ would just FIX their coding problems!!

My problem was starting specifically because I use the NoScript browser add-on, which specifically denies javascript on all pages until I tell it to load scripts on a page or domain.

If you don't have NoScript installed, and your browser handles Javascript in general, my next suggestion would be: Try with a different, clean browser (Chrome if you use Firefox, Firefox if you use Chrome. If you don't want to install a new browser just to test: IE if you have a Windows machine or Safari if you have a Mac. The MS and Apple browsers are terrible, but they're always there and usually good to provide a baseline) and see if the problem persists.

Try disabling add-ons.

Try logging out: If you have problems while logged in but have no problems "anonymously", then it's your account or your style.

Thanks! Tried it all already, and my husband has tried a few different things too - all I can think of is that it's their code, and until they accept that and fix it, I'm stuck with this. Argh... I did find an add-on to make sure Javascript was enabled, and it definitely is. So frustrating when this happens - sometimes it'll go on for months and then in spite of their insistence that it wasn't them *POOF!* it's resolved, without a word. Will hope it doesn't take months this time.
