LJ comment preview Greasemonkey script

I don't tend to do new stuff explicitly for LiveJournal nowadays, since I'm on Dreamwidth, but LJ came out with an interesting claim recently regarding the lack of a Preview button on the new commenting form:Since a Preview button isn't easily/quickly possible with the new form, we have made the ability to edit

Thank you very much!

I's very useful because although I noticed if I watch the entries in my style my custom css allows me to use the preview function, but this way everything seems easier!

YESSSSS. it's funny because i thought i never really used it when it was there, but once it was gone i was like "...well shit."

Hello! Just in case anyone's interested, I too have a userscript I cobbled together over here.

One of its options is that it puts the subject line back where it used to be. Er, well, only sort of. I say only sort of, cos while it can't get the subject field back, it does put existing subject lines made in old comments or new ones with your super duper handy Preview button back to where it belongs: on top of the comment header, instead of within the comment text area.

Also, I just recently updated the style and now it's got a new option for keywords-only userpic selection. Might be useful for all those who've declared themselves allergic to having their entire icon collection load each and every time they try to pick one measly userpic.

I actually already have your Stylish script! It's awesome and I was planning to update this post to point to it, but while I knew who wrote it, I wasn't able at all to figure out where to link to, because I'd forgotten the URL and while I could get to http://userstyles.org/styles/58535/livejournal-release-88-tweaks , there wasn't a link from there to your mintyapple post. You may want to put one in. :)

I actually myself use a few other fixes too. For example, I don't like the blue text on comment headers, so I change it to black with:

.b-leaf-meta {
color: black !important;
}

I also make the subjects a bit larger:

h4.b-leaf-subject {
font-size: larger !important;
}

Not sure if you're interested in any of those tweaks to your tweaks, but thought I'd offer them up. :)

I also use a few other style tweaks:

/* Reduce the space between collapsed comments
