Dreamwidth has been "fixed"

I love livejournal. I joined it six and a half years ago and met all sorts of interesting people, and was inspired to write more. Even when it does something stupid, like forbidding "incest" and interest and (more frequently) when it does something sensible and explains it stupidly, I remain loyal.

This year, enough of the people in lj whom I like joined Dreamwidth that I decided to join that, while staying in lj. (Hey, I'm poly.) I do all my posts (except for the birthday ones) in Dreamwidth first because they automatically copy to lj.

So this morning I did that and found a note at the bottom of the lj version telling people to comment on Dreamwidth via OpenID. (At least they didn't make it impossible to comment directly.) Screw that. When I post to lj, I want people to be able to comment to lj. (I deleted the offending words.)

I'm so glad you mentioned this, because I specifically disabled that "functionality" in my crossposts, and after your post, I went and checked, and it was ostensibly still disabled, but my new LJ crossposts were showing the obnoxious footer. Grr.

It got broken in the last code push and should now have been fixed - if it's still not doing what you want it to, open a Support request and someone can have a look at it.

So did I, but I "fixed" it by turning it on (it thought it was off), then turning it off again.
