Code: /mobile/post.bml.post.success.header

^-- This was changed from "Success!" to "Success". Is there a particular reason why? "Success!" seems more exciting and solid to me...but it's pretty much a non-issue, either way. I'm just asking cos I'm curious. ;D

Edit: This one (Code: /tools/tellafriend.bml.sentpage.title) was also changed similarly from Sent! to Sent. Maybe it's because I'm a naturally bouncy person but the lack of an exclamation point seems kind of bland...like, "Ho hum, your post was successful." Instead of "Hooray! Your entry has posted!" *LOL* I realize this might be a quirk of mine but I thought I'd mention it here in case I'm not the only one. NO OFFENSE PLEASE to the person who changed the string!! Okay? ♥

Apparently, it's just me! :D

I think it's probably due to the fact that Dreamwidth has to cater for different types of users; one person's 'bouncy and happy' is another person's 'teeth-gnashingly annoying'. I can also think of situations when anything too bouncy would be really inappropriate - if you were posting bad or sad news, for example - and so neutrality isn't a bad thing.

I see there was some irritation with it on LJ too: http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/850627.html

Thanks for sharing that!

Interesting point. I think it is just me being a bouncy type person. :/

I read the link Azz shared too, and there are a LOT of people it bothers. I'm definitely in the minority in this case. :)
