Okay, okay, we get it! You hated the captcha and change is the worst thing in America unless it’s coming from Obama. But please, children, behave. If you want to test out the new comment feature on Slog, please do so here in this open thread. And let’s be nice about it, okay?

Don’t test the comments in another post, unless you have something specific to say about that post. Let’s at least try to stay on topic elsewhere.

So post some comments and see how you like it. And if you have any problems, questions, and/or constructive criticism about the changes, feel free to e-mail me at megan@thestranger.com. We want you to enjoy Slog, really, we do! But this is not a sandbox. Let’s play nice.

Please? And thank you. I’d hate to have to take away your Slog Happy privileges.

  9. covering my bases. still sucks big time, though. agree, comments will slow. on the other hand, os-x totally rules – i type one letter and it autofills in the next two lines and i hit return – about two extra steps for mac users – hear this – it still sucks.

  10. Thanks for making the blog post and comments text sizeable by Firefox!

    I can set them at my preferred large font so I can surf and post from my couch (wireless mouse and keyboard).

  14. Hey Poe, I was at the gym when I saw a scrolling news item about Charlie Crist’s plane making an EMERGENCY LANDING earlier today. I’m glad to see you aren’t in the hospital, prostrate with nerves.

  16. I guess the mandatory preview could act as an extra “are you SURE you want to post this comment” step and maybe cut down on the stupidness a bit? Just trying to find the silver lining here.

  20. @19 The reason it was slower earlier in the evening was because of a small glitch that happened in during the update. The tech boys caught it and fixed it. So it’ll be nice and fast from now on.

  35. Oh that was weird. When I was reading these comments a second ago, they skipped from 15 to 17, hence my @33. And now 16’s back. Cue twilight zone music.
