Yes, LJ have done it again; made arbitrary changes while ignoring the feedback of their users. The new comment stuff sucks.
While there is a workaround, the workaround sucks too.
1. Switch your journal to an S2 style. (but these are apparently only available to paid users)
2. Set "Disable customized comment pages for your journal" to "No".
3. In Account Settings -> Display, set "View all journals and communities in my own style" to on, and set "View comment pages from my Friends page in my own style" to on.
What this does is (a) disable "site style" (which has the new comment stuff) in your own journal, and then (b) force you to see all journals in your own style. Which means that I can't see journals in people's own styles, which is sad.
In commemoration of this, I've changed my LJ journal style into something mournful.
Also, I will mention the fact that Dreamwidth is currently offering open registration until the end of the year. This means that one doesn't need an invite code to create an account. Just sayin'.
