Comment confusion

Anyone know why the "comment" button now opens a dialogue with about three times as many options as there were this morning? Confusing, or what?

And why I keep getting "varnish error" messages?

Because they are desperate to make you share with everyone. Personally, as I'm not on any of these services, I ignore the whole thing.

The problem's gone as mysteriously as it appeared. Presumably some sort of server or browser error, or something of the sort.

I'm not sure it was a browser error because I saw it too. Unless, of course, you are using Firefox and it really is them.

If they are all the From {LJ,Facebook,Twitter,...} options, then you're seeing them because JavaScript is turned off (if it's turned on they are under a drop-down box). If they are other options then I don't know, I don't see them (basic account, AdBlock, NoScript).

OK -that's only happening on my PC under Opera, maybe I accidentally switched JScript off.

It's suddenly back to normal without my doing anything. Weird...

When I first saw your post, I saw all the options as radio buttons, now it's back to the old version. Must have been a maintenance bug.

OK, at least it wasn't just me. Back to normal here too.

Er, hmm?

Oh, okay. Never saw it at all on Firefox.

Still looks normal to me - so I'd guess it is something to do with the Java script like Keristor says.

And it's gone away without my doing anything. Never mind, probably some sort of server / cache thing.

Nothing odd here.

Looks like it was something server-side but transitory.

Ah, that would explain it.
