Well it seems LJ has changed all its login options which means among other things that

  • 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


Notifications of comments on my blog posts on [livejournal.com profile] louisedennis have also stopped working again, though at the moment [livejournal.com profile] 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).
