LJ comment tip

[avram]

The two topmost posts on my Friends page right now are people complaining about LJ email comment notification not working. I don’t know beans about that, since I don’t use that feature, but till the Secret Masters of LJ stomp those bugs, y’all can use your Recent Comments page when you’re logged in to keep track of recent comments in your journal.

In other news, a doodle! That nameless Barnes & Noble sketchbook paper soaks up brush-marker ink real fine; I’ll be sad when I can’t find it anymore. For this one I tried using a coloring trick Ian McConville came up with for MacHall (though I don’t think he uses it anymore since he’s gone to direct-to-screen drawing), specifically the shadows thing, creating new layer for shading, setting it to 30% opacity and Multiply, and painting on it with a pure blue that’s about 80% black (I just set the RGB selector to 0:0:55). Works pretty well.

Unfortunatelyl the comment page doesn't help tell me about responses to my comments in *other* people's LJs. Nor whether or not anyone else ever got notification off my comment. Feh feh. Damn centralized systems.

Except again, it doesn't tell me about responses to comments of mine, like this one, for example. I just got the notifiction. :)

But the Recent Comments page doesn't show me my own comments, or people's comments on my comments in other journals.

How did you find that? Is it on a menu somewhere?

[stormsweeper.livejournal.com]

It's linked off that newfangled "My LJ" portal page:

Thanks. I didn't know about that page.

[stormsweeper.livejournal.com]

It's a very recent addition. Or at least a very recent addition to the menus.
