Heads up: more bad behavior from LJ

[feuervogel]

They are adding your location to all comments with IP logging on. Retroactively. (release notes) This is much more accurate than plugging it into a reverse IP site, reportedly.

If you (on LJ) log IP and are not among the subset of people I want knowing my address, I won't be commenting any more. I'll also be checking to see if I have that turned on (only for anonymous, I think) and turn it off if I do.

Slowly, LJ gives me more reason to consider shutting down.

ETA: They're rolling back the changes in response to the comments on the release post. Thank fuck.

They're removing it, according to the release notes.

Seems to be already gone. Just went to my journal to see how it looked and I'm not seeing it at all.

Note, if you are looking at comment pages in your own style, it never worked there. It only works if you view them in the system style. So, in order to tell if they have removed it, you have to make sure to check not in your own style.

I just ran into this issue last night when checking where my IP address thinks I am from (right state, wrong city).

Hmm, I can't seem to find the right syntax of "?style=foo" to convert a single page to the system style. (And I'm too lazy to go change my global setting and then change it back...)
