Yaaay!!

This now works!! They put the nice serif fixed font back in the update page!!

They still have the dumbed down "enter a subject" and "show this entry to: Everyone (public)", but I guess I'm getting used to being insulted and talked down to by my damned software. It's a sad state of affairs when one idiot's mistakes necessitate that everyone be treated like a 6 year old.

Serious WTF? on LJ design

In this thread in lj_releases, burr86 alleges:
Problem with a dropdown menu is that it doesn't let you choose multiple groups.

My jaw hit the deck. Now, I've had problems doing just that on LJ, but I always figured it was intended as a feature, not a designer incompetance.

You see, picking multiples in a drop-down list is enabled by this: <select name="test" multiple="yes"> - it's an option in the base html for the drop-down box. No javashitscript required.

Don't believe me? See this tutorial, which is the FIRST result in a Google search on [drop down form].
