Where did the stalker-pin go? HOW CAN I FUNCTION WITHOUT IT?

It's not showing up in the wee blue bar of awesome (that goes like previous post, memorify, stalkerpin, edit, edit tags, flag, next post -- only THERE IS NO STALKERPIN. Wantz it back now plz.) How will I know if anyone writes any of my requests at the Buffyverse kinkmeme without stalkerpin?

Edit: Probably to do with the new release, which has also made all subjects into hyperlinks. Which is utotally useful when you have a comments-locked post that you're trying to dig up a real link to, but I would totally rather have stalkerpin. (My first thought when it disappeared was, "I HAVE USED UP MY ALLOWANCE OH NOES." But I'm only using about 90/1000.)

"Stalker-pin" is tm Elizabeth. :)

Edit2: Switching to Lynx didn't help. Switching to S2 didn't help. Someone on the release post complained about the "Edit" button being gone for them, which all things considered would be a worse disaster. Mebbe if I go to bed LJ will fix it? *looks hopeful*

Edit3: When I view page source, I can see it and access it, so I managed to pin the kinkmeme. Something has gone wrong in the html. Maybe I should blame Firefox? Or the frelled-up computer?

Edit4: Restarting Firefox didn't help. I wonder if the problem is in the add-ons?

The equivalent of the stalkerpin is still there for me...

[wisdomeagle]

*goes to see if switching layout or style system will fix*

If I have to leave Dystopia HEADS WILL ROLL not literally.

You know, I've never actually used that feature. There are times when it would have been helpful, but I always forget about it.

Oh, and I can see the pin, but I'm viewing comment pages in the old style, and I'm using the old LJ style, which actually doesn't seem to be an option anymore on the settings page. Weird.

[wisdomeagle]

I'm also using S1 and Dystopia. You actually can switch back to Dystopia if you know where to look.

It's still there for me, I think -- I can see it in the page source. It's just not displaying for some reason. *glares*

[invisionary.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool, thanks for that link.

And I'm using XColibur, not Dystopia. Maybe that's the difference?

[wisdomeagle]

*checks* Nope, it isn't showing up for me in XColibur either.

[invisionary.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I don't know what to tell you then. I'm not too good with most of the technical stuff on LJ. Sorry!

[wisdomeagle]

No worries. I'm sure it'll sort itself out, and at least I have a workaround.

[frogfarm]

That is bizarre -- I'm still seeing stalkerpin just fine in my wee blue bar.

Also, <3 you for using Lynx ;)

(and poo on whatever hiccup fuxed up my attempted Unicode)

I know I got the term StalkerPin from someone else (I wanna say musesfool), but it is a great term :)

It's showing up for me, so I don't know what to tell you :(

And dude, good call about comments-locked entries. I noticed it yesterday and was like, "How is this useful? And will this break entries that have links hardcoded into the Subject lines?" but being able to real-link to comments-locked posts is def. useful (incl. for seeing tags used therein ;) ).

What is this stalkerpin of which you all speak?

:)

[wisdomeagle]

Maybe only paid users get it?

Basically, it gives you the option to track comments on posts that you wouldn't normally get notifications on. So, like, if Elizabeth posted an interesting question in her LJ, instead of having to refresh the page every hour to see if anyone replied, I can just stalkerpin it and get notified in my inbox whenever anyone replies.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

i've got a paid account and I think I know what you're talking about.

You mean the tracking function?

ETA: oh yes. it *does* look like a pin. Heeeee

[wisdomeagle]

Yep.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

I'd been thinking of it as a tent peg, which is probably why pin didn't immediately register with me.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

I think it's supposed to be a pushpin/thumbtack.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

I love that I am the hypothetical example you give :D

[wisdomeagle]

You are the person I pin most frequently who wouldn't be freaked out to know how frequently I pin them.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

I am, of course, the opposite of freaked :D

(Not that "freaked" and "proud" are technically opposites, but you know what I mean.)
