Every time I see that "LJ18" hash up there for a split second I think "LJ added an adult section???" And then I get disappointed.

You've probably all seen this already, but I wanted to add that if you want to back up your journal just in case, Dreamwidth lets you import all your entries WITH the comments AND your entire friends list. Account creation is still free and they make importing easy ( Read more... )

Anyone know what the deal is with this Portugese youtube video spam?

Uummmm... Since LJ seems to be down for me and me alone, I'm guessing this cross-post will work. I've been getting "cannot access/not available" errors since yesterday. The rest of the internet is fine, so it's not my connection. But this means my f'list is now a big black hole, so - I hope I haven't missed anything important? I'll try to catch ( Read more... )

I dropped impishclawmarks down to basic and now the entry view is friggin' ugly... oops. Their little chart of features tells you you'll have fewer icons and no scrapbook, but doesn't mention that the entry/comment view will be not your journal style but the lj default and only the lj default.

Account creation is still open as well.

LiveJournal's quandry is simple. LiveJournal is Russia's most popular blogging platform and plays a key role in the country's Internet ecosphere.

However, LiveJournal's American market share ( Read more... )

I debated this, but the only Plus features I really use are the userpics and the scrapbook. Since I can host images elsewhere and the userpics alone aren't worth giving LJ the advertising revenue, I've downgraded this journal to Basic.

Come join me at Dreamwidth?

Sorry to those who get this more than once, I'm posting to both my personal and my fanworks journal.

Okay, Livejournal's newest upgrade mostly sucks. If that's all this was, people would complain, issues would get fixed or we'd adjust, life goes on. But the site admin, particularly igrick, the head of LJ Russia, have been dismissive and condescending. ( Read more... )
