Well it seems LJ has changed all its login options which means among other things that
Notifications of comments on my blog posts on
louisedennis have also stopped working again, though at the moment
lsellersfic appears to be unaffected.
The long and short of which is that if I appear to be maintaining radio silence for a bit it's not personal its just that my posts ain't reaching you and I'm not getting your comments on anything that I actually do bother to post separately. I think if I comment on other people's posts and they respond I will still get the notification (I did last time this happened) but if I mysteriously stop responding even in those situations then its honestly not that I'm cold-shouldering or ignoring anyone.
Any yes I do know that this is entirely my fault for trying to use LJ via various third-party tools (well apart from the notifications thing), so please don't lecture me on how if I was a good, loyal, little LJ-only user it would all be all right and that my whinging is just self-entitled bullshit. I'm not telling anyone else where they should or should not be blogging, or what tools they should or should not be using, I'm just reporting why I may be going quiet for a while.
PS. Security problem yesterday was, apparently, a caching problem although LJ's account of it isn't entirely consistent with what users were reporting (nothing new there, and lots of potential explanations for the inconsistencies).
- I can't cross-post from DreamWidth, nor set up my account there so it can crosspost
- I can't export my journal with my preferred backup tool
- I can't use ljlogin on Firefox to switch between accounts
