In which I have a small complaint

[rebcake]

I know everybody likes to rag on LiveJournal, and rightly so, but I'm a little miffed at Dreamwidth right now. Apparently, if you don't have a paid account, you can't get notifications of a response to a comment you made in another person's journal. How is that okay? Doesn't that negate the whole point of people talking to each other? I bite my nail at you, Dreamwidth. I also apologize for not responding to people who thought they were having a conversation with me on DW.

This is on top of my discontent with the way they decide willy-nilly which icons you will be left with when your paid account expires. Essentially I'm unhappy with my FREE STUFF not being how I want it. Gosh. What's wrong with people?

In other news, as soon as I get out from under this mountain of work, I'm going to McDiva's art show, the Death of DOMA rally in the Castro, a Frameline (LGBT, etc) Film Festival film, and more partying in the street! Whatever shall I wear to the Pride Celebration?

...so if you respond to this, I won't get an alert?

Ooooh! Science!

[beer_good_foamy]

I got an alert!

[rebcake]

Hmmm. More mystery. Grrrr.

Here is a handy-dandy chart that spells out all the differences between free and paid accounts, and general notifications on comments isn't on there, so everyone SHOULD get them.

If you're not, it may be a problem with your comment notification settings, or possibly some kind of glitch (in which case I'd report it).

Re: icons, don't they keep the last 15 you used or something like that?

Very helpful! I'll probably get around to opening a support ticket on this soon.
