Also, why do I have to hunt up and down the page and click an "Update" link before I am able to see my own posts?

Probably a bug.

So this is, by your own admission, buggy? That would rule it out for site-wide use immediately.

Yes, since it's alpha quality software. I have never denied that. I may have been too optimistic about the timeframe of LQT's maturation before, but right now the only reason it's installed at all is that I've managed to fix rollback on comments. Also, changing every talk page to lqt would be a huge job, we'd have to archive and clean up every talk page.

Right now, it's just here for testing, and if you like it you can enable it on your talk page.

Right, so that rules the issue in question moot; alpha quality software shouldn't be used as widely as was proposed in any case.

Tell that to translatewiki. Anyway, I wasn't the one who started this page, so you're barking up the wrong tree
