Will switching help with being able to comment using IE or is that a completely different issue. I am still waiting for a response from LJ Support about this.

I had the same problem with commenting and I submitted the same (useless) support ticket. Try doing a "hard refresh" on your browser (on IE it's CTRL+F5). If that doesn't help, try deleting your temporary Internet files. That finally worked for me. The next step would have been deleting cookies, but I'm glad I didn't have to go that far.

EDIT: I completely missed that you mentioned having IE. :)

So I'm guessing that all tabs except for google search should be closed. Will doing a "hard refresh" do any nasty things?

That worked for everything except being able to upload to my scrapbook.

I had a bunch of tabs open and I think I closed my LJ tabs after deleting the temporary Internet files and after I opened them again, I could comment. I'm not aware of any nasty side effects from a "hard refresh". It basically tells the browser to get new versions of all files from the server instead of using older versions that are cached on the computer.

I don't really use my scrapbook, so I'm not sure if I had issues with it, but I tried uploading something to it just now and it looks like it's not working for me either. :/

Good job, I never thought I would see the day! That said, switching to beta server resulted in persistent 503 error until I deleted beta cookies in both Chrome and Firefox.

Wow! So few comments!
Seems, people are shocked to see something that looks like truly good news from you, guys. That was too unexpected :)

LJ screens comments. Can't let the unhappy masses show.
