My org configured the local Jira to look like an oldschool forum: no dynamically loading content (which also means I need to refresh for newest comments), links are really just plain links, and I need to manually write markup for proper comment formatting. It's fast and works really well compared to the guest Jiras that we sometimes use for external projects. My only gripe is that Jira's markup language is pretty bad.
