What I WANT is a comment page that looks like the old comments page before LJ destroyed it. I want subject lines, I want to see the text I type in a comment box appear as I type it instead of with a full second or more of lag, and for other people's sake, I would like a usable drop-down icon menu instead of the pictorial menu LJ somehow decided was "better." (This is irrelevant for me since I only have six icons, but I hear it is nearly impossible to manage for people with dozens of icons.) Also I want the painful light blue shading between the end of an entry and the start of the comments to die in a fire, because it is headache-inducing.
Failing that, I would settle for a comments page that looks like the style I have now set my journal to, instead of the ugly, user-abusing default site style that I am trying to get rid of.
An example of a journal that has forced LJ into mimicking its old comment pages is homesmut -- and here is a post with some good examples of how the comments look. (That post is about fill threading rules, so it is... mmm... 95% work-safe? There are a couple potentially inappropriate icons, and two people at the end who got confused and posted prompts to the wrong post, but that's all.)
